and in the third (this really ticked me off) pj took out The Scouring of the Shire just because he didnt like that section of the book!
He didn't take it out because he didn't like it; he took it out because it would have created yet another ending (and a long one at that) for the movie. It would have been another subplot that was just too much for the non-book-fan crowd. Plus it would have made the movies too long than would have been sensible. I personally wouldn't have minded, but he was catering to a larger audience than just bookfans.

How could anyone not like the scouring of the Shire? Hobbits coming home and kicking butt? Sounds most triumphant to me!
