Forgive me if I was overreacting, but if its not OK for us to sneer at each other, why should it be OK to sneer at Peter Jackson? I doubt he needs my defense, whether he wanted the money or not, he's still sitting around somewhere, counting it ; that being said, I think it's only fair to stick up for someone who isn't there to defend himself. True, I don't know him, don't know if I'd like him in person, but I did appreciate his hard work. I am sorry that you didn't, but there is no film out there that can please everybody. I know it must be aggravating to be completely dissatisfied with a film adaptation of a beloved book (I know the feeling).
