This Friday marks the long-awaited/much-bemoaned arrival of Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit. While the movie will undoubtedly be visually delicious, but it remains to be seen if it can capture the delight of Tolkien’s children’s story or recapture the sense of awe that the Lord of the Ring films embued.
Something about Tolkien’s work keeps bringing us back. With four official books, hundreds of thousands of posthumously published notes, and a whole weeks worth of movie, its clear that there is something that draws us to Middle Earth, and will continue to do so for decades to come.
