The Scouring of the Shire

[Gorwingel]

I was kind of dissapointed that they had to leave out so many parts that I absolutely loved in the books (including the Scouring). But some of the parts just had to go. I think maybe we would understand if we worked as a screenwriter, it is a hard job, taking such an immense peace of work and having to change it in such a way that everyone (including people who have never read the book) would understand. I wish they could just follow the storyline of the book, but then the entire story would probably be over 24 hours long (though it would be a spectacular film) and without theaters having intermissions that would be a really long time to have to wait for the bathroom. <P>The scouring would be cool though. Getting to see the hobbits kick some butt on screen would be very cool, and getting to see Saurman die the way he did in the book would be even better
