Boromir and Alatar - Good points, and I enjoyed our discussions on various points you noted above. I like to take the opposite of the Devil's advocate point (don't know if there's a term for this?) wherever possible to defend the movies. Now there are times when I might not totally agree with the thing I'm defending (shock, horror) - but I do this to assist in stopping the threads becoming Bashing - Bashing to me is a thread saying how bad a particular bit of the moives (or all of them) are with no 'plus' points or arguments against this - If we have other people coming back with answers to these 'negative' views, then we have intelligent debate.
but, as I said in the thread itself, to call a thread 'What are your most hated parts of the movies' is not helping itself against being called Bashing!!!!!!
