New here ... been dying to say ...

[Lord of Angmar]

I think a new forum should be created with the sole purpose of *****ing about Peter Jackson's movie. I created a new thread the other day on the topic of parts of PJ's movies that people did not like, and there are many more on the site. This is just another duplicate thread, and many of the things you are arguing here are pointless.<P>As for the sausages "mystery"; since I'm sure wanderers in Middle Earth did not often find a place to refrigerate their food, I would imagine they salted the meat to preserve it.<P>How Gandalf gets his staff again is inexplicable; a theory is that a new one was made for him (as well as, I suppose, his hat), in Rivendell.<P>The Eagle mystery has been discussed time and again, and the simple fact is that the Eagles probably would not have agreed to a task of such danger, nor would it have made a good book plot .<P>When was Frodo thrown forwards and backwards? Do you mean in the skirmish in Moria, or when he rode Arwen's horse, or is there something else specifically that I am missing?<P>I think the Boromir situation is pretty self-explanatory. What would Frodo have done, rescued Gandalf from the grip of the Balrog? He would have put himself in the clear path of orkish archers, risked the bridge crumbling and risked the entire point of the quest.<P>On a lighter note, I shall suggest the "Whining about PJ" forum to the BD administration . <P>Cheers!<BR>-Angmar<p>[ August 22, 2003: Message edited by: Lord of Angmar ]
