I'm a fan of them, yes, I am.

I have seen the movies, and once I even saw that delightful and achingly sad children's film The Secret of NIMH.

But I'm not a Tolkien nut like some (like my over-amped friend John Harrison – see his article at Storm Moon.)

For me, the Tolkien movies are just a journey with characters I don't really care about.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies

And they're simply not enough to satiate the need I have for more Hobbits.
