Jackson Purists Deplore Tolkien Changes

[Fordim Hedgethistle]

Of course the greatest scandal is that this Tolkien person utterly occluded Figwit!

Thanks for that information about the forthcoming material Bb. I look forward to seeing that as it will help me answer some of the more pressing questions that Tolkien simply sidestepped: are there female orcs? why did not the winged Balrog fly out of the chasm? when and how was the highway between Rivendell and Helm's deep constructed (presumably some time after the Fellowship went into Moria and before the Elven army and Elrond arrived in the south with little or no trouble)?

Any news yet on when Jackson's letters are to be published?
