We need a thread about all the things Peter jackson has done that we love! There are many. (for me) All the long years from 72 to 02, Tolkien talk was "lean pickings". I love the interest PJ's movies have stirred up. The visual images in these movies have "fleshed out" the quick going over I often gave them, as I hurriedly gobbled words while reading (no matter how many times I read LoTR, I rush to get to certain parts) . The Shire, the birthday party, Gandalf's fireworks, Aragorn's look, Sam's attitude concerning Frodo, the beautiful sight of Eowyn striding out of the Golden Hall with the breeze billowing her dress, Gandalf and the Balrog falling and fighting....I could go on and on. I love the visual images of these movies. (If they had just made the winged Nazgul a LITTLE scarrier! )
