A young woman in the back of the room shifts in her seat.She listens to each statement with an open mind, but now she realizes is the time to open her mouth.She stands.
"Your Honor I request permission to speak."
Judge-"Permission granted.Proceed."
"It has been brought to my attention that Mr. Jackson has been made to appear in court so the members of the Barrow-Downs can review his version of the Lord of the Rings, and to see if he is worthy of making the Hobbit into a film.Am I correct?"
Judge-"It appears that way.Please continue."
"I was first introduced tho the Lord of the Rings a year ago through Mr. Jackson's Films.I must admit that I had no interest in them until I was dragged to the theater."
(Shocked murmers are heard around the room.)
"After seeing the movies I rushed out to the stores and bought the books,I even went and bought the Hobbit and the Silm.I must say I was very confused when reading the books,(Except the Hobbit.It is my favorite.) and I regret to admit I put them down for a while do to lack of understanding and sheer boredom."
(Gasps are heard around the room.One person passes out at the mention of boredom.)
"I joined this website and began to understand the books more.I started to read them again though I skipped through many of the songs and poems.I am now rereading them and I have found with the help of the members of this website another one of Mr. Jackson's shortcommings.The leaving out of a Mr. Tom Bombadil and the Barrow-Downs."
(Mr. Jackson shifts uncomfortly and mumbles something about why did she have to bring that one up.)
"I must make it known that Tom Bombadil really confused me with his songs of nonsense, but what of the Barrow-Downs and Frodo and Sam's adventure there?I must also say I can hardly imagine an actor who could correctly portray Mr. Bombadil,but there is no harm in an honest attempt.I am leaving this subject alone for it has stirred up many a controversy already.Anyone who is brave enough to open this can of worms I tip my hat to you.
I personally believe the verdict cannot be reached until the members of the jury review Mr. Jackson's version of the third and final chapter which comes out most places Wednesday December 17th.In my opinion, if all goes well Wednesday Mr. Jackson should undoubtedly make the Hobbit."
(Room is filled with talking and shouting, the judge has trouble bringing everyone to order.)
Judge-"Did you honestly have to bring up Tom Bombadil? I may never bring the room back to order now.Please be seated!"
