[Glenethor]

You are, unfortunately, probably right. As I've said numerous times, I really feel sad for the people who loathe Jackson's FoTR. Really, I do. I am not being sarcastic, ironic, gloating, or anything else when I say that. I haven't been as emotionally moved by a film in a long, long, time. Maybe, never. What shines through for me is the heart and soul of everyone. I think everyone knew they would never do anything as important in their lives, so they put everything they had into it.<P>I am ambivalent about Saruman's expanded role, but Christopher Lee must've said 'give me more to work with.'<P>And the scene where he is controlling the weather on Cahadhras...he is only substituted for Sauron..."His arm has grown long if he can fling all this snow so far south!" "His arm has grown long." So, it wasn't as if weather control was a novel concept introduced by Jackson.<P>Pax,<P>Glenethor
