The Hobbit Conundrum

Rex: So what did you think of the Extended Edition of "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey."
Gray: I thought the movie adaptation flowed better with the additional scenes.
Rex: As a Strategy Dalek, I found the commentary interesting. The filmmakers constantly spoke about how much they enjoyed each single aspect of J.R.R. Tolkien's novel. Then they explained why they felt compelled to change nearly every single aspect of J.R.R. Tolkien's novel.
Gray: Yes, it's truly magical how many people love J.R.R. Tolkien's novel. But then, the process of making movies is an entirely different form of magic.
