Before I left on the plane to take me back home over the holidays I bought the issue at the Minneapolis airport. I didn't even read it until the long drive to my doctor wednesday. <P>I made a thread about how in this article it says <P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> The director readily admits that of his three films, Two Towers departs most from Tolkien's work. "We were aware that we were making films for the hard-core Tolkien fan base as well as everyone else," says Jackson, who co-wrote the script with Philippa Boyens and Fran Walsh. "In the beginning, it was a difficult tightrope to walk, but then we sort of abandoned thinking about it. If we make a good film, we'll be forgiven, whatever the crimes we commit to the book." <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>ahhhh.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Arwen, the beautiful elf played by Liv Tyler, doesn't appear in the book. But in the film, Jackson has love scenes between her and Aragorn—a romance based on an appendix that Tolkien later wrote about their doomed relationship. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>yet again....AHHHH<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Last September Boyens and Walsh composed a monologue for Sam, the hopeful hobbit played by Sean Astin, in which he urges Frodo to stick with his mission. "There is good in the world, and it's worth fighting for," says Sam. The writers first thought it was too corny. "Doesn't that sound like something George Bush would say?" <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Hahahaha.<P><BR>I liked it. I can't find it though, I think my dad stole it.....
