Letter to PJ - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I think you guys (and everyone, for that matter) are forgetting that PJ can't make these perfect. Even if he could, why should he?<P>This is only his interpretation of LOTR. Some things are different... so what? Maybe he felt that some parts weren't needed, and he came up with other parts to help the story flow along.<P>Y'know the whole Elrond/Arwen deal? I think that was totally unneeded, but do I whine and complain? No. Be glad that these are even being made into a movie. These movies have brought in thousands upon thousands of new Tolkienatics, and without PJ, LOTR wouldnt be as popular today as it was, say, 10 years ago.
