<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> No disrespect, but had the films been made in the way that you suggest, they would have been the biggest flops of all time. There are simply not enough people out there who would be willing to sit through six 3 hour films that (even with the necessary omissions) followed the books in every detail.<P> <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>I respectfully disagree. If they had done six 3 hour films, my friends and I would have gone to see them more than just one time. I think that there are many more "books first" Tolkien fans out there than people realize. I also think that movie goers aren't quite as stupid as Hollywood thinks. (I am crossing my fingers when I type that)
