Tolkien: The Hobbit
#4
DM: I never was that interested in the Silmarillion, maybe because of the length of it. After I read all the Norse myth stuff, I took a look at his Sigrid and Gudrun, but I need to brush up on the Volsungsaga before I read it, because you have to know what's going on in order to decipher some of the poetry, which I think is a stylistic choice he takes from the Norse and Anglo-Saxon kenning poems. That said, the little bit I read was really good.

Cranefly: LotR is worth it. Very far superior to the Hobbit. I re-read it a couple of years ago and enjoyed it. And I've only seen a few minutes of the the BttF movies. There are a couple of big movies from the 80s that I didn't see, but I can't think of them right now.

I did see Jaws 3-D in the theater with the Yeti's younger brother. There was a scene in the trailer where Lou Gossett yells 'Here it comes!' just before the shark breaks a huge window. It was the best part of the trailer. Sadly it did not appear the film.
