I'm about to binge on The Hobbit movies?
Heard not so good things about these movies so am I wasting my time? If so, what is good rn on NF?

Just think of them as fantasies involving frequent interections with that book by JRR Tolkien. They're not bad as movies, they're only bad as attempts to insert new material into an already excellent classic.
[quote]“Good Morning!" said Bilbo, and he meant it. The sun was shining, and the grass was very green. But Gandalf looked at him from under long bushy eyebrows that stuck out further than the brim of his shady hat.
"What do you mean?" he said. "Do you wish me a good morning, or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not; or that you feel good this morning; or that it is a morning to be good on?"
"All of them at once," said Bilbo. "And a very fine morning for a pipe of tobacco out of doors, into the bargain.
...
"Good morning!" he said at last. "We don't want any adventures here, thank you! You might try over The Hill or across The Water." By this he meant that the conversation was at an end.
"What a lot of things you do use Good morning for!" said Gandalf. "Now you mean that you want to get rid of me, and that it won't be good till I move off.” [/quote]

This was two hours ago so maybe my input is too late? I think they're good films, but some parts do feel a bit padded out, and weren't in the book. Worth watching, for sure. I've never seen the extended cuts if there are any. If you're going to follow-up with The Lord of the Rings, I recommend the extended cuts.

I got halfway through the first one and turned it off. Unwatchable.

I’m binge watching The 4400. It’s not bad. Very imaginative.
