I like both the books and the movies while acknowledging each of their shortcomings. Tolkien wasn't perfect (dense, heavy-handed, in need of an editor), and god knows PJ isn't either (commenters upthread have already done a good job with that list), but honestly, taken together they give me something I am ravenously fond of.

Re: The Hobbit: I freely admit I was at first in the "Tauriel are you kidding me what is this shit" camp, but that's mostly because it annoys me to death that they're giving her a romance plot, of all goddamn things. Because here's what PJ sucks at: romance and female characters. But after getting off my high horse about that, I'm totally looking forward to it, and feeling pleased that there's a lone vagina in Tolkein's (admittedly glorious) sausage fest. Though I would kill for female dwarves. OH MAN.

This conversation also makes me think of Harry Potter. I thought the movies were huge, festering shitpiles, but instead of bumming me out, it made me kind of relieved. Because it meant I could hold on to my own interpretations of the characters and what I imagined things looking like - because whatever the movies were doing, it wasn't Harry Potter to me, so I could just ignore it, stop watching after the 4th shitpile, and let other fans carry on as they wanted.

tl;dr i wanted to talk about my book/movie feels. it was self-indulgent.
