Of course when you take the three together that want it darker than the book it totals 59%.

Isn't that just like a pollster, to cause one of the camps to split their vote and thereby reduce its voice. Perhaps this will be enough to persuade PJ to produce three versions of TH--one for cinematic release, one for subsequent DVD release, and one finally for the extended YouTube release where viewers can c&p their own preferences.

I just hope that, unlike that old movie Jurassic Park, that the director/producer/writer picks some audience for a target and sticks with it. If we are to have a darker, more adult movie, then great. Or a more whimsical kid flick - that's okay too. But I hope that whomever doesn't try for both as to me that would, as you say, just murder the book.

Or could go Monty Python and the Arkenstone "let us not go to Rivendell - it is a silly place!" - and Smaug could be repalced by a rabbit .....

Excuse me , I was disappointed to find this poll wasn't anything to do with if Gandalf the Grey should uncloak
after all statistics are usually like lamposts to drunks - more for support than illumination...
