Because after spending 3 years on the Internet hearing about all the hypothetical homsexual pairings from the Lord of the Rings movies, I can deal with just about anything

On the less-silly side, I'd take issue with Fell's desire not to see the Hobbit.  My favorite part of the movie trilogy was the first section of Fellowship, the parts where they showed the shire.  I loved Jackson's interpretation of hobbits, and enjoyed the kind of pastoral hobbity fun.  

The Hobbit movie would have a lot more of this, I believe.  It would be focused less on 'the world is going to end' and more on 'these are fun characters on an adventure.'  After LOTR's intensity, I would find this refreshing.

I second the motion for hot female elves in scanty outfits......

Scantily clad elves are fine.  I don't want to see any scantily clad hobbit chicks, though.  Maybe they can replace the goblins in the misty mountains with a clan of amazons in the misty mountains.  Or, perhaps, Castle Anthrax.
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier.
