[The Barrow-Wight]

<BR> Film Limitations</b><br><br> Imagine the difficulty PJ has had just to bring the films to the current version. He's had to force 1000+ pages into 6-7 hours while pleasing a fickle audience, demanding actors, and profit minded productions companies and banks, not to mention the limitiations placed on everything PJ does by money, time and the currently techonological state of the filming industry. <br> <br> I bet that if PJ could, he would make the movies EXACT to the books. But he can't (see above for a short list of reasons why if you still doubt me). Without PJ there wouldn't be a movie at all, and we'd have to stick with that awful Bakshi mess as our only theatrical monument to The Lord of the Rings.. <p>The Barrow-Wight (RKittle)<br> I usually haunt <a href="http://www.barrowdowns.com">The Barrow-Downs</a> and The Barrow-Downs <a href="http://www.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi">Middle-Earth Discussion Board</a>.</p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://www.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_profile&u=00000002>RKittle</A>&nbsp; at: 4/18/01 11:22:39 am<br></i>
