Why all the anger?

[Elentári]

Ok, I first read Lord of the Rings when I was in year 6...about 11 I think, and The Fellowship came out when I was in year 9...so it looks like I'm a lot younger than some of the people on here...oh well, it's a great site, and there are great discussions on here.<BR>Then I read it again before I saw the Fellowship, and I thought that it was really quite brilliant...I was glad they left out Tom Bombadil, for me he was too...otherworldy, I guess, for him to be fairly portrayed.<BR>Then I read it another three times before the Two Towers came out, and I was distracted by the changes I couldn't concentrate on the film...my memory of it was slightly hazy. But then I decided that I should just forget about the books while I'm watching the film because they are completely different. So I did that the next two times and enjoyed it. But Faramir, frankly, is annoying. I was disappointed that they left out the 'Boromir's body in the boat' experience, but there is a rumour that it's in the Extended version, so I'm hoping it is...<BR>So why did I get annoyed? Well, I guess I was just thinking 'this is completely wrong! What the hell is happening here???' Especially when Aragorn was dragged off the cliff, and Faramir...I won't start.<BR>Oh, and someone made a comment about proper fans not being those rabid fangirls of Orli etc etc....well I love Orli, and I love the books, and I think the films are great. So what does that make me?
