That's very good, Mark 12_30! <P>I like the fact that the reason you gave for incorporating the scene with Saruman in the EE was because of Frodo's character developement. It sounds like a much better reason than: "Tolkien had it in there so you had better add it!" I like that you substantiate your statements with the letters of Tolkien, with examples of how the movies changed his character (the Ford and the Ringwraith bit have always disappointed me), and your polite and understanding tone. <P>But I do have a few questions with this sentence:<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> This would require that you bring back only six actors, Christopher Lee, Brad Dourif and the four hobbits, and reassemble their costumes <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> <P>Shouldn't there be a colon after "actors" instead of a comma because you are listing them? Or maybe in parenthesis? Of course, I do have a strange addiction to parenthesis and colons...<P>Those are just my opinions....feel free to disregard them.
