<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> This is just another journalist with no taste and a p.c. agenda. Ignore him <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Nah, we have to put up arguments to all his complaints to show how much we know and how much he doesn't. Man, we're arrogant little buggers, huh? <P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> That won't deter the eager conscripts, who faithfully have worn their Elvish decoder rings since last Christmas, from charging into this three-hour conflict. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>hmmph... I'll have you know that my ring was pure plastic gold! Decoder rings. Sheesh, this guy doesn't mind making enemies, does he?<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Meanwhile, Frodo seems to be suffering some kind of visual indigestion from bearing the ring toward Mordor, and becomes lethargic and depressed as he and Samwise (Sean Astin) realize they are going in circles in the mountains. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Duh! It's called the influence of the ring! Yeah, this guy's never read the books. Or even tried to.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> The Gollum even talks like Yoda, advising the boys as he leads them out of the wilderness: ``My shadows you must be.''<BR> <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>He says, "Swift and quick as shadows we must be." for crying out loud. And isn't it not so much Gollum being Yoda but Yoda copying Gollum? Gollum did talk that way in the books, it wasn't some made up whim.<P>I know my arguments are kind of pathetic and not up to usual standards, but I'm in a rush.
