re: #317 Dr Lizardo

So, OT……but I just got done watching a fanedit of The Hobbit trilogy.

The editor trimmed down the three films into one film with a running time of four hours, twenty-eight minutes; that’s definitely well into epic film territory, but it works beautifully.

Far superior, with much greater emotional impact. I recommend it. It’s called The Hobbit: Tolkien Edit.

This has potential. I found the trilogy unwatchable for many many reasons but most of all the handling of Bilbo and his arc for whom the story is all about.
