I Knew There Was a Reason Not to Look Forward to the Next Hobbit Film

Hat Tip: Geekosystem

After watching the first film installation of the Hobbit, I really was not looking forward to the second movie.  The only reason for two movies was the inclusion of a great deal of extraneous material.

The Hobbit runs about 300 pages in book form.

The books in the Lord of the Rings trilogy each run 450-500 pages.

Given the difference, creating two movies out of the Hobbit requires adding the equivalent of 700 additional pages.  Additional material in the movie industry is referred to as "padding", and the producers of the Hobbit films have literally created an entire movie's worth of it.

All that padding results in problems, and there's nothing more enjoyable than poking fun of those problems.  Someone did that in video form and posted it to YouTube.

The video lasts almost 15 minutes.
