Don't take offense, nPiLL (I hope I spelled that right... but if not, I'll edit and spell it right that time... EDIT: I called you NPhill! hehe!). The discrepancies between the movie and the book (and the gaping holes that a person can drive a truck through) is a sore subject on this board (and I'm sure elsewhere in Tolkien fandom). Stuff more in-depth can be found on corresponding threads, like the Two Towers official Thread in the Movies section. And it *is* a fabulous idea for a thread... it's just that the topic can fall under other already-established threads. That's why Estelyn might close it.<P>Yet until then, the biggest difference between the TT book and the TT movie is the elf army. Never happened. Period. It would be like saying the Chinese came and helped out America during the Revolutionary War. (If someone can find a better analogy, go right ahead. That's the best I could think of)<P>-'Vana<p>[ March 05, 2003: Message edited by: DaughterofVana ]
