At first I found it amusing to catch all of the little problems, but as they accumulated in the first thread (with my help) I came to the realization that someone may be dropping in here, reading the thread on the movie's problems, and then either A) not go to the movie, or B) go and sit there picking at the nits. The latter would defeat the purpose of going to the movie, unless one goes merely to tear it apart. Since there is no way that this movie will descend into becoming a camp classic, or be seen retroactively to be either unintentionally funny or plain bad, I really feel that it would be a shame if the nitpicking interfered with someone's enjoyment, and sense of wonder, of the film.<P>I still haven't seen the car, but I have seen dust or smoke moving from right to left in the background. I had to look really hard to see it.<P>As for awards, anyone care to place odds?<BR> <P>PS, There are soooo many bad movies released every year. I have gone to only one or two movies a year for the last 5 years or so, because most of them are just so bad I refuse to spend my money on them. And the good ones....are often less than epic in scope, so waiting for the video isn't a problem for me. PJ's movies are, notwithstanding the naysayers, going to be three of the biggest films of all time, and as a significant bonus, will bring <I>millions</I> of people to the books who may never have bothered. Reading LoTR was <I>de rigeur</I> when I was a teen. Then it wasn't. Now it is again. We have PJ to thank for that.<P>Pax,<P>Glenethor
