Jackson Watch
According to Publisher's Weekly and other sources, Peter Jackson has announced that he will not direct a cinematic version of The Hobbit. Disappointing, sure, but as the PW writer observed in an earlier essay, maybe it's not a bad thing for part of the Tolkien canon to remain free of the thundering hoi-polloi and their tacky movie tie-in merchandise.

The impression I got from the Yahoo! story is that a cinematic version will be made, though Jackson won't be directing. So we can still look forward to a Bilbo Happy Meal.
