Touche!Yet another thought taken directly from my somewhat disorganised mind. I began quivering with fear the other day at the thought that Mr. Jackson's team was one of several who might have attempted the adaptation of this magnificent trilogy. Thank God for Pete! He is truely amazing to have cared enough to stay as true to the feel as he did with this project. We're talking, for every changed scene or tiny little additive, there is an entire string of word-for-word lines straight from the pages of the books! For some reason, that in itself is enough to give me great respect for him.
