Tom Bombadil willl just show up like halfway throw and be like "This story is shit, this source material is shit, let's just have a party" and all the goblins and all the hobbits will party down and Sauron will provide the strobe lighting with his giant eye beam. Why? Because he's Tom Fucking Bombadil.
And like Gollum will start the riddle game and Tom's riddle will be:
Q:Whose the baddest mofo in all of Middle-Earth? Whose gets the bitches, who rocks the clocks, who rides the dragons?"
A:Tom Fucking Bombadil

Putting Tom into your movie is like putting a Christopher Walken cameo into your movie. You don't know what you're going to get but your movie will be drastically improved.
