Saucepan, your point<BR> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> If that puts you off a scene, there can't be much in these films that you like. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>No, there's a lot a like, even with the amazing amount of changes, mainly small, that Jackson has done. It's incredible how good the films are, especially after repeat viewings.<P>My only bone of contention are the scriptwriters not using enough of the text as they can. Over the past two years I've been writing a document explaining where the script and the books tie up word for word. I realise, seeing as there is no narrator, some things are impossible to show. (One of the first grating ones was not showing the length of time between Bilbo going away and Frodo leaving. That would have added to the emotion of Frodo meeting up with Bilbo again. But how to show 17 years have passed in the hobbits' looks (except Bilbo) would have been hard).<P>I've pretty much finished the doc for the FOTR comparisons between book and script, but I'm not that web inclined so have 'no where' to put it (don't have a web page and use my work's internet connection!!) any ideas where I could put it on the WWW?
