The infectious popularity of ‘The Hobbit’ has proved that the love of the good, the true and the beautiful still resonates with millions of people worldwide. J.R.R. Tolkien’s legacy of dwarves, elves, hobbits and men grappling with fantastic forces of darkness has proved to be such a draw, we at CatholicViral want to know why it should end?
EyeoftheTiber.com ran a spoof article recently claiming that Peter Jackson would produce a70-part television series based on “The Silmarillion”.
