Celebringnar has just left Hobbiton.

<BR><br><br> It's a very old understanding that 'the book' is always better than 'the film'. Directing any film requires a certain amount of artistic freestyle. However when dealing with biblical films... the story is adhered to vehimently(last temptation???-a bit of an exception). As such I think that this should also occur when dealing with the second most read book on the planet. Refering to Bakshi once more, there occur a lot of faux-pas which irritate me considerably... not least the fact that Galadriel mispronounces her husband, Celeborn's name!!! Taking all this into consideration I have to agree with Galadriel2 and Burrahobbit and the other devout fans throughout the world. Leave Arwen as Arwen, not someone else who doesn't exist. I wonder what the Professor would think...? Or CT for that matter? <p></p>
