If I stick around, I will most certainly join the club!<BR>I just joined the Barrow-Downs. I was attracted by the opportunity to discuss the books in depth in The Books forum. However, every single thread seems to contain people complaining about the movie. I am disappointed that rather than simply saying "I prefer to discuss the books than the movie" everyone sems intent on saying "such-and-such a change was completely wrong." I don't think the changes were bad decisions. I was thrown by Faramir at first but I thought the Osgiliath sequence was very effective and have grown to like it very much. I love the movies and the atmosphere here, even on a forum supposedly dedicated to the books only, is overwhelmingly negative.<BR>Has ayone read and een Bridget Jones's Diary? Te book and the movie actually have different plots and the second half of the movie is urecognisible. But its a great book and a great movie. PJ said he was going to bring his personal vision of LOTR to screen. There is no definitive way it should be adapted and there never will be.
