The second film would be called The Hobbit: My Dinner with Gandalf. In which Bilbo Baggins and Gandalf discuss a variety of topics ranging from the best way of wrestling a dwarf to the correct pronunciation of Lothlórien, over the course of two hours shot in one long take.

Brilliant! A two-hour long dinner is a mission Bilbo would definitely support.

Great one, Teddy. With Wallace Shawn as Bilbo and Andre Gregory as Gandalf.

6,3: Montages are shortcuts, no? My solutions: -No montages. Show everything. -Musical numbers (just like the book, but with dance choreography). -Describe every meal in detail (like the book). -Extensive use of Arial and/or 3D-pandering establishing shots. -1st Movie is just a Silmarillion history lesson. -3rd Movie is just a series of false endings.

Perfect casting. I believe Wallace Shawn is part hobbit.

Oh please, oh please, can movies 1 and 2 be Silmarillion history lessons? Please?

This is simple. We all know that they shot it at 48fps. When they edited it together they accidentally played it at 24fps and it took 8 hours so they chopped it into three. They should have played it back at its native 48 frames per second and then it would have been a manageable 4 hours and fill up two movies.
