The Hobbit. The book is much better than the three films.1 -
I have to admit I haven't re-read Lord of the Rings since I was 12, so can't comment at that beyond a vague recollection of the structure needing a bit of work: "and now we're going to cut to a storyline we haven't revisited since half way through the LAST book, so you've probably forgotten how these characters got here in the first place" is a really unhelpful approach when each book is the size of a brick and you're having to wait for the person ahead of you in the library queue to finish before you can read it. Even though (I'm reliably informed by some of my friends) the films cut some stuff out, the way the various storylines were weaved together worked well.AddicksAddict said:

In total agreement about The Hobbit films though. So much damn padding, you could quite easily have just had two films and not lost any of the original plot.0 -
And the films didn't win the International Fantasy Award, nor have they been consistently voted the most loved books in various countries around the world.smudge7946 said:

The book is massive. It would take weeks to read it, whereas with the film you're done in 3 hours and can get on with your life.AddicksAddict said:

You can be done with one of the films in three hours, but better to take more than that and watch the extended edition.smudge7946 said:

But what you're basically saying is, you'd rather have a 30s wank than a whole evening of passionate love making?0 -

Love Actually has one of the funniest scenes ever committed to celluloid.

Stuck Exodus on record... only caught bits of it before. Ta Beds keep em coming.1

Drat, I forget to set The Madness of King George to record. In addition to Beds' choices tomorrow, there's About Time (the Richard Curtis time travel romcom) on Film 4 at 6:30pm, and The Outlaw Josey Wales (Clint Eastwood civil war era western) on ITV4 at 9pm. And now I'm off to watch Bruce Willis and Samuel L Jackson chew some scenery.0

I hated About time . A horrible sickly sweet Richard Curtis film and I recommended The Outlaw Josey Wales two days ago .aliwibble said:Drat, I forget to set The Madness of King George to record.
