Sounds awful
To quote Marvin the Paranoid Android in The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, it 'Sounds awful'.

"Awful" to you and me, dollar signs to PJ! He's still the April Fool in my book.

I'm still trying to figure out if The Hobbit: Battle of Five Armies was an April Fool's hoax.

Oh, yes, it's all fun and games now, but this thread is going to read very differently in a year or two, when it actually comes true

Yes. Following the advice of Gandalf, we should not jest about serious matters. Evil never sleeps.

What are you talking about? I can't wait for the history of the wereworms to come out.

I want a three hour movie of Elrond doing his taxes - pausing occasionally to sigh at the futility of it all and mutter to himself.

Elrond doesn't pay taxes. He founded Imladris as a non-profit home for "refugees" from those in Eriador displaced by Sauron's war. Housing the Heir of Isildur later was completely under the table.

A registered charity then? Accepting hobbits for volunteering positions?

How sad is it that turning Elrond into a tax-dodging slum lord would still be less offensive than much of The Hobbit trilogy?
