All I'm saying is be grateful that Peter Jackson didn't make the Balrog wear bunny slipper-like footwear. In Ralph Bakshi's version, the Balrog's feet looked like they were encased in bunny slippers. We should be grateful that we have a director of Peter's calibre, and not someone like Ralph Bakshi. I think we should take a couple of minute to calm down and be grateful to Peter for taking years out of his life to give us this epic. I don't think any one of us could have done it, ergo, we don't have the right to bash Peter for the choices that he made.
