if you haven't already caught this bit of Hobbity news, there has come to light a particularly noisome little film adaptation from the 1960's.
"We were well into the Hobbit screenplay when The Lord of The Rings came out in paperback editions. Having assumed there was only The Hobbit to contend with, and following Snyder's wish, we had taken some liberties with the story that a few years later would be grounds for burning at the stake."
This makes the Rankin-Bass version look like gold. Actually, I hold that the Rankin-Bass version does have its redeeming qualities. Of which this thing has none at all, unless it be the biggest, baddest crossbow EVER.
