Jackson Purists Deplore Tolkien Changes

[Elladan and Elrohir]

I'm glad that other Downers share my concerns about the drastic changes Tolkien made to Jackson's movies. That's why I posted this article to begin with. We need to raise awareness that there is such a thing as a "Jackson purist."

Tolkien appears to be getting too big for his breeches, to borrow the colloquialism. He's taken Jackson's work, enlarged it, changed some of the most enjoyable details, used language that is now approaching archaic, enlarged almost all of the major characters, and destroyed Legolas' hottiness.

I think all copies of Tolkien's book should in the future have the following posted on the title page:

"WARNING: The following work is very loosely based on Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings movie trilogy, produced by New Line Cinema. Readers should take caution and understand that this is only Tolkien's interpretation of Jackson's work."
