To comment on the thread itself: very interesting and entertaining. It seems to me, however, that people get so caught up (myself included) in what they see as 'wrong' about the movies, that they fail to see the good (meaning dead accurate) parts, or even the film as a whole. I have nothing but respect for Peter Jackson and Co.. Remember back to the cartoon versions: The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings (that trailed off at Helm's Deep and featured Boromir of the Horned Helm, Legolas starring as Glorfindel, and Shire seasons changing at a speed capable of causing seizures), and The Return of the King ("Why does he have Nine fingers? Where iiiiissss thaaaat Riiiiing oooooof Dooooooom?"). Think of those and then think of PJ's Lord of the Rings. Even if you disagree with some of his 'artistic license', you have to admit that he did an amazing job.
