Not perfect, but better Derlin, that's what we're aiming for. And if you don't complain, then good for you. And sometimes I'm not even glad he made the movies. Sometimes I think that it would be better if he just left it alone rather than show <I>his</I> image of LotR. He pretty much butchered it. As someone said (sorry, I can't remember who) when we were saying PJ dropped the ball, "I think PJ dropped the ball and shattered it, then he tried to superglue it together and add a cheap coat of paint and call it TTT." I don't think that taht was teh exact quote but its thebest I can do, sorry. Anyways, I think that this was too kind. Its more like PJ diliberately smashed the ball. He really changed it, too much and a lot of it was unnecessary. So I'm not really that grateful for the movies, well at least for TTT. But we should be glad he's even making the movie? Well yes, but if he promises us that he'd follow the book as closely as possible, and only make necessary changes, and only leave out parts that don't relate to Frodo or the quest for the ring, and he doesn't keep them, then I'm not very grateful at all. Not only is it his responsibility to do this, but it's his promise. He didn't live up to his responsibility or his word. That's why I'm not grateful. We didn't get what we were promised. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> This is only his interpretation of LOTR. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>That's not what he promised us. He said he wasn't going to do that. He said he'd follow the book as closely as possible and not make any unnecessary changes. So, should we be happy with what we got? A lot of us, including me, say no.
