Agreed. I must admit that being stoned severely complicates the task of getting dressed in a dark closet with a pocket full of change.
I don't even want to think about a 100ft tall stoned lizard....
You don't love me anymore!

You didn't even remember that I'm 400 feet (121.92 meters), not 100.

Size isn't everything. And never mention "meters" to me again. Awful French innovation.
An absolutely fascinating footnote to all this is that the original movie said "50 feet", while the Americanized version gave the correct height of 400.

Very worried that Jackson is going to wrap a cheesecloth across the front of his camera lenses, and "mills and boon" up the journey from The Shire to the Lonely Mountain, like he did with Sam and Frodo in Mordor. (Which was utterly utterly shite).
FUCKERPUNKERSHIT!
Wanna buy some pegs Dave, I've got some pegs here...

Indeed. Talking spiders, dragons and birds are all OK in a book, but on screen ... heaven knows how they'll pull all that off.
As for the three trolls ...

You mean the ones that were "introduced" into the screenplay to try and compensate for the large swathes of the book they left out?
In the book they actually saw the stone trolls. Frodo smote one with a stick, IIRC.
Oh, I forgot that - probably because it actually was in the book. I was thinking of some the extra-strength baddies they encountered in Moria, and elsewhere.
Betcha those trolls will look completely different when they get brought back to life and start arguing how to cook thirteen dwarves and a burrahobbit.
