Five years isn't that long at all. Most people are all "Oh man, I read that when I was a kid." I never did though. XD

I doubt they'll make a Simarillion movie as it was mostly a book of myths rather than one coheseive story. I took it out from the library a few weeks ago with the intention of reading it, but then I was too busy reading fanfics to actually read it and I had to bring it back XD

Hi Puffer :D

The Hobbit was a lot of fun. I got to see it in the theatre twice. It's still playing here I think, but at the discount cinema. It's a bit far, so I don't go out there much.

I believe that the original plan was for them to make just two Hobbit movies, but then they had so much content, they decided to slice it up into three. They seem to like extra content, I mean look at all the extra stuff they had for the other three movies. Not that I've watched it all. I keep meaning to buy all the extended versions. I have to make my cousin watch them with me :D
