I was going to do a countdown...something like "Here comes the nagging naysayers of negativity in 3...2...1..." OR " Here comes Debby downer in....5...4...3...2..."

But you beat me to it. Welcome to the thread. I'm sure there will be plenty glass half-empty/down on life types to follow you. Seems like there always are. Always seems like there is someone who wants to let everyone else know they think something sucks. So far...you are it. :-)

LOL. You'll really hate the Daily News now...

Cinema-goers have complained of feeling sick and dizzy after watching early screenings of The Hobbit. Peter Jackson's eagerly awaited new film is the first to be shot using high-speed 3D cameras that capture twice the normal number of frames per second. But some viewers said the filming techniques made them feel nauseous and even caused migraines. etc.

Call me a downer, I guess.

I loved the original novel. I love the Rankin-Bass cartoon. I even enjoyed the BBC radio-play—as hard as it was to understand at times. (The second half of the play is very powerful. Sobering, even.)

I think there are some fines scenes in the new one, but no one knows how to go on, and on...and on... the way Peter Jackson does.
