<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> I read somewhere Peter Jackson Talking about the cutting of Tom Bombadil and he said that this particular part of the book had no real impact on the rest of the story and deviated too much from the ring. Would it really have been worth it to sit another hour or so for something that had no relevance to the main story? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>You don't really think anyone could have played Tom Bombadil, do you? (I'm not being nasty, i'm really not!) We've had complaints about the casting not looking right, but i honestly don't believe that any version of Bombadil would have looked anything like what any of us imagine. Or sounded like, come to think of it.
