Movies before books? Books before movies?

[Poll #1155065]

(This comes from a discussion that aveleh and I are having, because I haven't seen/read The Princess Bride, but I have both the movie and the book on hand, but started reading the book first).

Yes they are! None other than Peter Jackson himself!

And, in a very Peter Jackson-esque move, they are going to make two (not one, BUT TWO!) films out of The Hobbit. :))

Serves two purposes, imo: to fit lots more content in (although I do remember the Hobbit was about half or three-fourths the length of any of the Trilogy?), and to sell more. :)

Oh! Thanks for the information. Yeah, the Hobbit was about three-fourths the length of any of the Trilogy. OTOH, I vaguely remember that it had less of the sweeping descriptions of landscape?

Yes, I believe it did have less of those (which take up a huge part of LotR). XD

More riddles though! Haha!
