If you liked the LOTR movies, yes.
If Peter Jackson is, in your opinion, worst than George Lucas, no.
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

Peter Jackson is pretty great.  Tolkein-inspired works are booring.

I managed to catch a few episodes of this new Looney Tunes Show on the Youtube.  It's pretty decent.

It's not bad, but it isn't brilliant either.

It's good but in desperate need of an editor.  Could easily cut 45 minutes out of it (and you still end up with a two hour movie)
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

I especially liked the one where Bugs becomes addicted to drugs.

No, really, that happens.  Take that, you smug fuck.

I disagree.  I liked LOTR and found the Hobbit boring.  I understand the commercial need to add content that wasnt in the book to stretch it to two movies but really it felt like a B movie with special effects to try keep the audience attention (but failed).  Also way to long.  I found myself hoping the damn thing would end but it went on and on and on.
