Let's just say that before the movies I hated Sam. I couldn't stand him! Funny my cousin Audrey felt the same way. Any way I think I envisioned most of the characters like people around me. I also had a lot of help from the Hildebrandt Brothers and the OLD OLD gross movies. But then again, Merry and Pippin were and still are my favorite characters. Although I think that they seem to wise up more in the movies than they did in the book, but of course this could just be my own misconception. I also loved Tom Bombadil, and Goldberry, I was greatly disappointed in not seeing them in the movies.

Treebeared was totally different than what I imagined!!!!! I mean he was huge. I thought he would be more of a stump. Don't know why just did. And I thought he would sound more like a wood wend, and such.... ga! I am digging myself into a whole here.

I can't do too much grumbling about PJ and how he wrote the script and how he wrote the characters. I took a script writing class this summer, and I realized how hard it is to describe people and things just the same way as in books. But the whole Yrich come out of goo thing just ****ed me off. I guess he had to keep the PG 13 rating somehow and not show the real X rated stuff.... that and I don't think that I don't think people would have understood seeing a baby orc....

Back on Topic (at least for my post... Bla...) I can't understand what he did to the Wizards. I did not like the wizard fight, as far as we know they didn't routinely use "Magic" in the same since as we understand it today. Yes, they had powers that were allotted to them from Iluvitar but they didn't use them all the time... It seems that in the movies VS the Books the Wizards were using more magic in the movies. Although, you have to admit that Sauramon was using some sort of persuasion in his voice even in the book.

Now that I have shoved my foot halfway down my throat I think I shall leave it like that.(for the time being)
