Hey PJ: that's why hardcore Tolkien fans have been so critical of your movies. Not that you're much fussed about it, naturally.

Especially since I haven't seen any casting for Galion... and the progress reports have the dwarfs in open barrels not packed in as in the books..which rather suggests that the escape from the king's palace is not going to be as in the books.

Fill the canon cannon with offal, and fire the fodder in one farcical fusillade of flippant flummery. Kili the elleth-killah!

And then let's leave Gandalf with his fire-works back in the Shire and let the Strider lead the Company to the Loonely Montain. It's gonna be just right.

Good god! Do we really need romance in The Hobbit? It seems that all of the Hobbit news is about one dwarf having a romance or another elf being included for romances. Wasn't there a rumour that Bilbo is also supposed to have a love interest? Not every film needs to be filled to the brim with love and romance. I think that audiences would be perfectly fine with the book turned to film as it is, not Peter Jackson's This Movie is Kind of Like The Hobbit, But Not Really.

Obviously it does.

This whole Tauriel thing is just silliness. I've got an idea. Tauriel should be married to Legolas, but she falls in love with the dashing Kili. They make their escape in barrels and their love is shunned in Laketown. The rest of the movie is spent following them as they look for a home.

That would perhaps be better than what they will probably do to the poor book.

No, that would make it difficult to incorporate the Tauriel-Kili-Smaug love triangle. Invent Legolas a different girlfriend.

Well, there is a female dwarf shortage so maybe (at least in PJ's world)
it's common for dwarves and elves to get a bit kinky. After all, after a
few centuries a "she-elf" might be interested in a romantic change.

But you're forgetting the most dramatic addition I imagine PJ and
friends would be interested in (the Stone Giants tossing around dwarves
during the storm).

Haha pretty much spot on
