    A new Lord of the Rings sequel was announced and it's being spearheaded
    by none other than Stephen Colbert. Who thought this was a good idea?

    Not a sequel. It's a movie based on some of the bits Peter Jackson left
    out, so more of a midquel. :-).

    Peter Jackson thinks it's a good idea ... then again, he thinks his
    LotR / Hobbit movies are good "adaptations", despite making silly
    changes and leaving stuff out.

    He's clearly delusional.
    But I do credit him with the greatness of his depiction of The Shire.
    IOW, he got at least /one/ thing right.
