Yeah, I really wanted to like that part, but "ghey" was all that came to mind. I'm noticing that they get better as they go along.

Frankly, I was not overly impressed with the Hobbit. I liked it, and I think it was good, but I don't really understand how it became this HUGE classic...ah well. Maybe after I get through the whole thing it will feel more like it should.
