Over Rated

Can you stand one final bit of Hobbit news before I stop talking about the subject forever? Well, too bad, I'm going to write about it anyway.

This week Warner Bros. announced the release date for their upcoming and inevitable blu ray Extended Edition of The Hobbit: The Battle Of The Five Armies.

The most interesting thing about this particular Extended Edition? Unlike all of the other Middle-earth releases that were rated PG-13, this one is rated R.

I'm assuming the rating is due to warfare and violence, and not a deleted scene featuring some of that steamy elf-on-dwarf action.

So let's see if I can wrap my head around this. Peter Jackson made a movie based on a children's book, that kids (theoretically) aren't allowed to see. Got it!
