And if you didn't, then catch up man (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6167972.stm)!

The level headed fellows at Uncyclopedia are reporting a rather amusing (NSFW: Language) twist to this story (http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/UnNews:Adam_Sandler_to_direct_The_Hobbit), which I thought you might appreciate :D

Bloody hell peter Jackson lost some weight! They're making a big mistake in my eyes, he 'made' those films.

Oof, harsh words. Forget the original book, and they're fantastic films.

Even with the book they're fantastic films but no big fan of the books were ever going to be 100% happy with them if they didn't get to direct the films themselves.

In fact, I'll direct the hobbit :p

I disagree, I read the books several times when I was younger (damn that makes me sound older than I actually am) and I thought that the translation to film by Jackson was bloody good... Not 100% right but pretty damn close, and he managed to engage the interest of a lot of people who wouldn't have a clue about it...

I'd be happy for Jackson to direct the Hobbit, he knows what he's doing :)
