MatthewM... your opinion is your opinion and your right to have it. But I do think you are grossly misrepresenting what Essex said. Here is how you paraphrased his point

Quote:

You say that it was only after you saw PJ's overly childish Boromir that you started clinging those traits onto book Boromir. Your argument falls dead.

Essex never said that Jackson showed Boromir to be childish. Just the opposite. Essex was very clearly stating that he liked the portrayal of Boromir in the Jackson films and sees him as carrying childish grudges in the books. He is not the first or only person to express such an opinion about the character of Boromir.

He never used the phrase that you attribute to him saying that Jackson showed Boromir to be childish.

I am not taking issue with your overall opinion on Boromir right now - just trying to set the record straight.

You see, people have their own opinions. Opinions are opinions, you don't have to agree with everyone. You don't have to disagree with them either.

As my dad said "Opinions are like buttholes, everyones got them, and sometimes there stinky"
