According to The Sydney Morning Herald, there is still some discussion about whether “The Hobbit” should be one long movie (in two parts) or two self-contained movies, though there are no direct quotes on the subject. However, comments regarding the collaboration between Del Toro and Jackson seem very positive: “We’ve had a perfectly beautiful relationship so far where we understand each other’s role - I am the director and he is the producer,” he says. “He’s been incredibly supportive. I think that he understands that with a director comes a point of view. As long as those basics are understood, I think things are going to continue to be perfect.”

On Sep. 2, 1973, John Ronald Reuel Tolkien left this world and the Great Story behind. I thought I would commemorate this day with a FLASHBACK to the last days of his life, which, I hope, I can show were not altogether unpleasant (his last hours notwithstanding).
