<B>The Thread So Far</B><P>Eurytus, congratulations on inserting a post that had everything to do with other movies and almost nothing to do with LOTR! I wish I had the heart to do that, I could go on about Star Wars <I>ad infinitum</I>.<P>Pandora... <B>best post ever</B>. I heartily agree and I've almost had enough of people who endorse the wholesale slaughter of a great book without admitting that yes the movies did have faults. They may be your favourite films, but don't let that block your mind off completely to criticisms. I'm willing to admit that in some instances the movies are superior to the books, but nevertheless they are not nearly as good as the Hollywood hype machine tells you they are.<P>It looks as though the Pandora/Lord of Angmar argument may now consume this thread. Oh well, it was nice while it lasted! What was the topic again? Apologies to whoever started the thread. Perhaps it would have been better broken down into two or three, one for each question. Hijacking is rife in the Movies forum.
