"The Hobbit" to never, ever fuckin' get made

Following its setbacks involving changing directors, copyright disputes and several producers falling victim to an ancient Egyptian curse, Peter Jackson's perpetually unlucky adaptation of The Hobbit has hit another snag, specifically an admonition by the Screen Actor's Guild not to accept work on the non-union film.Jackson has responded by threatening to move production to Eastern Europe, where presumably werewolves will keep away the union reps. I've got to be honest, this is starting to look like one of those movies where it could turn out to be a masterpiece and it still wouldn't have been worth all the delays. I do love Jackson's idea of Neil Blomkamp directing, though.
