Don't worry. I loved the TTT movie inspite of everything I've been reading on the Barrow-downs.<P>I understand as well the difficulty PJ had to go through to bring the books into a watchable form.<P>Still, you have to admit about the unfair treatment of the sons of Denethor. I mean, they took pains to redeem Boromir (complete with romping with Merry and Pippin), then portrayed Faramir as some grim bad guy (he was supposed not even to want to take the ring)?<P>I see it as too much wasted screen time, having to show the 'conflict' (? ) in Faramir about the ring. If the TTT Ext ver comes out, I wish (though I doubt that will ever happen) that the entire 'Nasty Faramir' episode be deleted and leave only those scenes which show him to be a noble soul, worthy of being Gandalf's protegé.<P>And there is precedent. PJ deleted the theatrical scene of the entrance to Lothlorien and replaced it with a more accurate version. It will be no trouble. Plus, deleting all those scenes frees up more screen time to portray the Entmoot and all the others.<P> I guess I can hope, if nothing else.
