Merry and Pippin smokin weed was also pretty funny I thought. Difficult to write humour into fantasy.

Weed in the book refers to tobacco not drugs.
Its in the original book which is supposed to be a distant past and another location and thats how they referred to tobacco.
The Hobbit is a prequel to Lord of the Rings (Golumn has the ring and Bilbo gets it off of him). I found The Hobbit movie quite disappointing and way way too long - nearly 3 hours of what was really less than 2 hours of plot. Its stretched thin. As I recall the book
the Hobbit was good but nowhere near as good as Lord of the Rings. It was Tolkien's first creation of that whole Shire Universe so its understandable later books would be better. Still its a worthwhile read and a sensible book to use to cash in on Lord of the Rings' success. How you stretch it into a Trilogy may be tough.
