Gandalf's words

[elengil]

Now hold on JUST ONE MINUTE.

You cant insist on your way while denying me my right to an opinion all in the same breath!!!

Tolkien wrote the books. If someone wants to do a movie of HIS books, that is a good enough rteason to stay true to the original wording. That IS a valid opinion, whatever you say.

NOT liking the original doesnt give you the right to change it at will. My view of staying true to what was already there isnt "petty". I stated my OPINION that there were some dialogue changes that seemed pointless. You can say that you dont think they were, but you dont have the right to call my opinion "petty"

I NEVER said I hated movie. I said I didnt like that line, but never said I hated the it!

I gave AMPLE reasons for my not liking the word change in that particular point. I felt it did NOT convey the sense of hopelessness that they felt at that moment. I've also stated that because the debate from the book over their course didnt happen in the movie it probably wouldnt have carried the same effect, but that is STILL my views on the situation.

I dont know that I FORCED my view on anyone, or felt that everyone needed to necessarily agree with me. IN fact when I posted I was the one who was attacked for not agreeing apparently with others.

I think you'd better do a little mirror looking before you start accusing me of pettyness.
