Tar Palantir: <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> PJ did NOT exclude the Cleansing of Isengard as your first post intimated, so the original comment was misleading. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Ah. Sorry to further confuse. I nor H. (I am quite certain) had any intention of intimating that the Cleansing of Isengard was discluded from the movie. Clearly, it is there.Lush: It's always great to get your pov on things. Colorful analogies galore. Please, however, do allow us with a slightly more muted sense of humor (at times) to express seriously held opinions, whether we like Jackson or Scott or Spielberg (who's aliens are really elves in disguise, didja ever notice?).Gryphon Hall: Considering how long it took for me to answer your PM, I wasn't in doubt. I found your analogy to the Battle of Gettysburg particularly revealing. Tolkien meant his history to be appreciated as real (although feigned) history.
