Peter Jackson Is A Murderer. Of Entertainment.

I want to start by saying that there is a couple of blogs that have started over the past couple of weeks that I encourage you to check out. http://talesofabandit.blogspot.com is a dear friend of mine who has remarkable talent, and fantastic ideas. If you are looking for a cynical look at your world, look no further. http://bewareofhooks10.blogspot.com Another dear friend who has great thoughts on pretty much anything. definitely worth your time. Finally, http://rageandfurytheory.blogspot.com is one of my very best friends. He has alot of great critiques of films, and is far better at doing that than i or anyone else am. Plus, he is arguably the funniest person I know. Go check those blogs out, you wont be disappointed. Onward though,  This will probably never reach the ears of Peter Jackson, but if it did, I have a thing or two to say to that jerk. I would start by telling him that he makes great movies, but that he is an asshole. The Lord Of The Rings trilogy were great movies. I love them so much. So when The Hobbit rolled into town, I was comparably excited as a 12 year old girl waiting in line for a Justin Bieber concert. I even went to the midnight showing of it, because that's how awesome I am. My excitement was halted long before the movie was over. You know why? Because one book was made into three movies. There was an insurmountable amount of nothing going on in the movie. Even more than what has been going on over Christmas break. I thought we could have drawn the line after the final Twilight book was split into two movies. But no. Why don't we make three MORE movies about people walking around? As much as I loved the trilogy, can you imagine what would have happened had they split each book into three films? You would have been able to see the grass and plants grow in each film, because that's how much nothing that would be going on. Consequently, that is exactly what happened during The Hobbit. Granted, I would probably watch it again. But there were parts in the movie, where I actually felt my beard grow. A substantial amount, I might add. So many things were drawn out and dramatically unnecessary. So as I was thinking of why Peter Jackson decided to do us all an UN-favor of making one book three movies, it occurred to me. He is just looking for another big paycheck. As if he didn't already make millions upon millions from the trilogy, he is going to do it again with The Hobbit, or so he hopes. The problem is, he is trying to polish a turd here. How many beautiful landscape shots can he have in one film before I start to feel like I am watching Planet Earth? The answer, is not too many more. Nobody wants to pay money to watch nothing. If I wanted to watch nature, I would go on a hike. I go to movies to see illicit romances fabricated from nothing to help me realize what a bunch of dickholes men are,
(Why can't they all be like Ryan Gosling????? Boys need to be more romanticcccc!!!) and peoples heads get cut off by rusty orc swords, and snakes on planes. I think that Mr. Jackson should have thought through his game plan before he dove headfirst into the shallow end here. So Peter, you dunce, do us all a favor and look long and hard at yourself in the mirror, and then stomp on your own toe for the wrong you've committed. You have basically killed the unicorn of the film industry. Dick.
