Honestly, I agree with the author of the TORn article. Complaining about it does make LotR fans sound like a bunch of whiny babies. Just because we don't agree with a cut he's made, doesn't mean that we have the right to ask him to edit it. It's HIS movie, not OURS. He is the one who's putting some years of his life into its creation, NOT us. Therefore, he should be the only one to have the right to say what should be in the movie and what shouldn't. We just have to deal with it.<P>Besides, if Chris Lee, who is the actor who would be most affected by the cut, isn't going all ballistic on PJ, why should we? I think he has a greater right to overreact than we do. He's being calm and professional about it, and relegating the job of the director/editor to the director/editor, PJ. So should we.<p>[ November 13, 2003: Message edited by: Finwe ]
