<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> If someone came along and told you that Tolkien sucked and Dickens was better, would it really be much different? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>So we would not be able to discuss that either? Without it being called jabbering I mean?I actually found some new perspectives here Iarwain, believe it or not. No, not from your post, from the others actually discussing the merits of the movie, not whether one should or should not enjoy it. We also are not discussing Tolkien's validity here but the films, and if someone felt obliged to "cherish (these films) deep within" then they can share this or read another thread.feeling invalidated, Tar
