Trump and Netanyahu's 2-state vision: Gaza war's end, Abraham Accords expansion

DH and I have never seen these. Never read the books either. So do we watch the Hobbit series first and then Lord of the Rings?

Yeah for chronological order, watch the hobbit series 1st.

The movies are long i think but interesting

If you can, probably watch The Hobbit first but not completely necessary.

The movies are long

Watched the first one. That was enough Frodo for me.

I'm easily entertained but didn't think much of those movies, and especially of "precious".

I’m a big fan of both the books and movies. I prefer reading the books first.

Agree, I don’t get it.

Fool of a Took!!!

It's from Lord of the Rings. Gandalf is a bit grumpy when one of the hobbits does something he thought was a great idea, but really ended up making a bit of a mess of it. Gandalf loves the hobbits dearly, and said that rather than whacking the errant hobbit into next week. In this case the hobbit in question lobbed a pebble down a mine shaft and awoke a deathly creature that nearly kills Gandalf.

And then at the end of the second book Pippin "borrowed" the Palantir and got burned. Hmmm... Palantir. I'm guessing Peter Thiel also read LOTR, but maybe was rooting for Sauron?

I still need to watch the extended version of Return of the King, but I think I'm going to skip most of the Frodo scenes.
