[b]The Hobbit[/b]
Am I the only one that thought it made perfect sense for them to film The Hobbit right after Return of the King? I mean, they had the actors, the sets, New Zealand, and Gollum all right there. Peter Jackson could have said, "I know I said we were only going to make three, but how do you kids feel about making just one more?"

It reminds me of what General Patton said after World War II was over, "Hey, now that we've beaten German, let's go conquer Russia. We already have our tanks over here, and it will save us from having to put up with them later."

We don't need another Patton movie to show how badass he was; George C. Scott and Francis Ford Coppola said it all, especially in the scene when Patton slapped the coward.
