My comment towards you was pertaining to your remark on Boromir from book to film.

Or perhaps self- appointed? And how did you determine that a "small majority" agreed with the Jackson films and me? Please show me the stats on this as many here would find them most illuminating.

Yeah, right, because your posts did not hint at anything doubting your belief in JRRT's work... (extreme sarcasm)
It is obvious that there are, here at least, few people who agree with your book bashing movie thumping opinions.

Touching. Funny enough, I happen to love the films. In fact, they are my favorite movies of all time. I am just not about to defend them over the books, and the things/characters/events wrongly portrayed in the films deserve talking and complaining about. Again, keep your apples and your cinderblocks. You can use me as an example to prove your relentless point if you wish, I care not.
It's also rather funny how my post toward you was concerning your skewed opinions of Boromir, and not so much on your flawless movie talk.
