Spidermanning the Hobbit

Aside from Roger's post, yesterday was a slow news day. Which means checking out the film world and seeing what they're up to. Cinematical has the scoop that Sam Raimi may be considering filming The Hobbit one of these days. I like their take. "I tried to read The Hobbit when I was a kid, but I gave up when I realized I was 100 pages in and still reading about a tea party."

Yeah. But I adored that crazy Rankin & Bass version from 1977. Hans Conried. John Huston. Some guy named Brother Theodore (this is true). How could the Spiderman man top any of that?
