do we also want to put in the sticky the 'rules' - ie

(for example)

- we can compare to the book

- no 'bashing' without reasoning behind it - ie don't just say 'that bit was useless' - explain why

- on the other hand, no 'lovey dovey' towards Jackson and the films - ie don't just say it's the best thing to happen since sliced bread, explain why you think this way

- don't just state the obvious - lilke 'but gandalf NEVER set off fire works before the party - tolkien categorically stated this!' - explain a reason behind why you don't actually like the change from the book - why it does or doesn't work on screen

- remember that these films are ADAPTATIONS of the book

sorry, just my 2 cents worth - don't know if you want to use any of these, Alatar
