HEAR! HEAR! Davem! Those were my thoughts (or pretty close to them ) after my first, and only, viewing of TTT. I stayed that angry for a couple of weeks. Then I calmed down and became very sad. Sad that such an abomination has Tolkien's name attached to it. Now, after reading your post, I am all worked up again. Thanks! <P>I don't think anyone is out to convert the "likers of the films" into the "non-likers". But can you imagine a host of infuriated Tolkien (book) fans marching up to Jackson and his cronies and demanding a proper rendition of LotR? That would be a sight to behold!<p>[ January 26, 2003: Message edited by: Darkside ]
