Yes, Saucepan Man, you were one of those select few! <P>But that's cool because your posts are always extremely thoughtful and well laid out.<P>Point taken about Pulp Fiction. And yes, I do agree that it would be box office suicide (if not suicide then at least dropping an iron on your foot) to structure the film that way. However, I will maintain this one point. I did not like the way that the Merry and Pippin scenes (and to a lesser extent the Frodo and Sam scenes) were treated secondary to the Rohan scenes. Especially the parts in Helm's Deep where we switched over to the Ents for a few seconds and then returned.<P>I'd have much preferred some longer scenes, which would have added to the richness of the story. The Ents storyline was poorly received in the press when the film was released, and I believe that it was because of the poor ration of time they were granted.
