If they can actually get Bilbo's name into the title somehow, well, the porn parody pretty much writes itself.

Just as soon as he's done writing letters back to little orphan kids about why they aren't getting jack shit this year, yes.

Ah Shit, where is he. It's just not as much fun when he's not around.

TWO Hobbit films? The Hobbit is ONE book.

The 'book' is originally a six-volume series. Fellowship represented the first two chapters; Two Towers, chapters 3 and 4; and ROTK, chapters 5 and 6. To squeeze more blood from stone, there was a seven-volume set that included some titles written by Christopher Tolkein. [/Jyrki21]

No, it was three books, and as tCl pointed out, 2 volumes in each book
"The Hobbit" was much thinner than any one of the LOTR books
Not sure how he's gonna milk 2 movies out of it
Looks like he wont have the problem he had with LOTR, of what to leave in, what to leave out

Well I would imagine he puts some elements from The Silmirallion in play before he starts the whole hobbit thing.

I've started that book twice and still can't finish it.

The Lord of the Rings is indeed a trilogy. As far as I know, it was never meant to be one book. The Hobbit is one book.
As far as the Silmarillion - I, too, started that one - more than once. It is so complicated that I have decided that when I start it again, I will take notes, as Sr and Jr Tolkien have several different names for each character. And, silly me, I just could not keep track.

If you read the link tCl provided, you'll learn Tolkien originally wrote it as one book, and split it into 3 to appease the publishers
I'm sure 99% of the people who've read it, did so as a trilogy (the same way Jackson did)
