<BR><br><br> I must confess that I am still mystified by the 'ultra-purist' stance. To Tolkien himself, the tales of M-E were a constant work-in-progress. He wrote different versions of the tales, some more detailed, some more compressed, some with this detail in, another version with that detail left out or altered. <br> <br> Do you mean you don't recognize it as in you refuse to acknowledge its existence or validity? <br> <br> It's just a movie. <br> <p></p>
