I would like to nominate this thread for thread of the month:
Jackson Purists Deplore Tolkien Changes, posted by Elladan and Elrohir
Not only is it nice to see a fresh discussion taking place on the Movies forum; after the usual initial "what is this" reactions by some who weren't sure whether to take it seriously or not, members have been posting in the spirit of the original article. It's highly enjoyable to read, since the posts take a new twist on the movie/book comparisons, are very funny, and have lots of people participating! Now that we're all finished with the ranting that went on immediately after the movies and DVDs were released, everyone can relax and take an amused, laid-back look at the differences one more time.
