Wow! Reading the Silmarillion first and getting hooked is pretty impressive. I've tried to read it a few times and just can't get into it. I'm a HUGE LOTR fan. I read the books the first ime in the early '80's and have reread them around a dozen times or so.
So even being a fan, I still couldn't get into the Silmarillion.

Also, it has a dragon in it. I hope it's not just a knock-off of those things the Nazgűl rode, but something unique and really cool

I doubt it will be a cheap knock off. I'd bet my life they will do an excellent job of developing Smaug.
I remember looking at a book about the movies before they came out and seeing some of the characters and thinking "Boy, that is exactly what I pictured in my mind's eye when reading the book!" I think Peter Jackson will stay true to his vision.
I'm already starting to vibrate about the movie.
