The Hobbit gets green-light and announces February start

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Now we can look forwards to reading sarcastic high-brow put-downs of Peter Jackson here on the downs for years to come...

Yesss, yess. We likes to attack nassty changes tricksey PJ favors,
don't we preciouss! We hates them, we hates them forever!
(especially in TTT and RoTK).

Oh yess, PJ will have 3-d smoke rings and bumping barrelses,
won'ts he! Scary black arrowses coming at nice dragons
and Thief Baggins jumping over poor Smeagol, who
only wants to help.
