"My thanks to you and your associate for sharing that with us, even if I did find the information it imparts dreadfully depressing."Your welcome Squatter, I am afraid I am of a similar mind to yourself...ArathorofBarahir: first off it is a 'she' and I find your manner of expressing disagreement deplorable. Please seriously consider rephrasing your remarks. I was about to send my friend the links to the threads wherein I included her link, but I would be ashamed to do so now.Saying that someone was 'trying hard to not like the movie because it differs from the books' is understandable critique [if erroneus imo] but to call them a 'complete and total retard' [or some such] I take as not only far out of line, but also pointed at me, because I had exactly the same sorts of responses myself when watching TTT . I posted as much on the Downs also, as did many others. So are all people here who critique PJ for his 'adaptations' to be labeled complete and total retards by you everytime we post on this subject? Anyway, I would strongly suggest that you post your reaction just as you would if the critic [jennifer I believe] was a board member. 'Nough said I hope...and I hope I have cause to be able to edit most of this post soon myself.[ 7:13 PM December 10, 2003: Message edited by: lindil ]
