I love how you paint a false picture of every detractor's intent and then try to tear down the intent you created as if you are accomplishing something.

My jokes never evoke that kind of response.<P>Right...so in the spirit of not generalizing all the FOTR detractors, I'll put my attention on your argument. Here is an example:<P>"In fact, many of our comments were directed at actor's abilities, and improper characterizations in the film itself, not discrepancies with the book."<P>Sounds reasonable, fair, objective and completely in keeping with defending ones' position.<P>And then there is this beauty:<BR>"People who thought the movie stunk!"<P>Nice thread opener. Doesn't even sound like the same person wrote them, but alas, same author. Now you take the morale high ground when your words have drawn a response reflective in tone to the thread title. Always nice to have that option. You're not such a bad painter yourself, Rhudladion. Here's to a good chuckle.
