Breaking the Hobbit?

  (Man, get used to seeing that headline everywhere if the film doesn't meet expectations.) Am I the only one who has seriously downgraded his interest in seeing Peter Jackson's The Hobbit?

Help a brother out?

It won't be until next November, so no rush. However, one of the B-Master roundtable subjects for next year (we're set through May of 2014, actually) is French B-Movies. I've only done Zombie Lake that I can think of, and a short, dazed piece on Oasis of the Zombies back in the days where…
