*Makamu jumps up at the words of tar-alcarin* Judge lindil, I refuse to accept that insult to my fannish honour. I for one would love to see Glorfindel and Ioreth in the movies and Eru above knows Mrs. Tyler had a hard time convincing me that she is the right actor for Arwen. Yes, I may have a certain preference regarding a certain member of the fellowship based on his looks, but I am certainly not one of the ignorant fans of a certain Elf prince. But to return back to the matter of this trial, I would like to accuse Mr. Peter Jackson of wilfully changing the temptation scene of Galadriel, despite the fact that the original book scene would have been, as I judge, just as easy to film. Furthermore, I would like to speak positively of the rendering of the location of Edoras on screen, though I do not totally agree with the obvious similarities between Rohiric culture and the culture of the Vikings. I also would like to speak positively of the various artistic and linguistic means that brought the wealth of cultures in Middle-earth, at least in part, on the big screen. I quite liked the scene with the Lay of Lethian in the extended version of the FOTR film. Thank you for allowing me to use the court's precious time. *she sits back down*
