The Hobbit was okay, but it wont be winning a best oscar picture like the LOTR films did. Some of the dialogue jarred – modern and out of place. The Dwarves seemed too indestructible too. Very slow to start – Jackson had to fill the near three hours up with something.

I got the impression that Vernon God Little was more than just optioned, that they were on the way to making it, but that might now be on hold after the latest school massacre.

Cloud Atlas looks interesting, it is not due here until February.

Watched another very different science fiction movie last night – Never Let if Go – about children raised to be organ donors – more of an art-house movie.

The Hobbit should be two movies at best, three is ridiculous. Worth seeing on the big screen but was never going to top LOTR.

Many novels are optioned and turned into screenplays, especially ones that do well but languish and most are never made. It happens all the time.

Ive heard that Pi is supposed to be quite good. Yet to see Cloud Atlas too.
