Squeaky-Clean Role-Playing and Other Whatnot discussion

I wonder if I don't change the title to "Tolkien's Works Chat" or "LotR Universe Chat."

Also, should I make seperate chats for each Tolkien series? It might be more convenient for then to stay combined.

What do you guys think?

I'm working on reading The Hobbit right now. I'm well over a hundred pages in, and it's phenomenal so far. I like the movies well enough, but they're a bit over-the-top with the violence and gore, in my opinion. It's a little much. It's funny, too, everyone wasn't so angst-y in the book. Nor were the dwarves such absolutely rude dinner guests at Bilbo's house—don't get me wrong, they were not the best in the book, but I don't think they were so bad as in the movie. Ah, well.

I love the casting, though, and the animation! They got extremely talented actors and crew. And the music is very well done, too, I think. The animation gives it a sort of surreal feeling, in some places, but it's a good kind.
