Critics may complain about the allegedly "bloated" treatment of Part 1 of the Hobbit trilogy, but I, for one, am looking forward to intensive, real-time coverage of the preparation and consumption of breakfast, second breakfast, elevenses, luncheon, afternoon tea, dinner, and supper.
Interspersed with that perennial favorite, Tolkien's much admired packing scene, the lovingly re-created meal scenes will doubtless be of great interest to foodies and hungry movie-goers alike; cultural anthropologists and amateur psychologists will be mesmerized by the cross-cultural bonding between Bilbo and Bombur on this subject.
