Sauron 666 has just left Hobbiton.

If someone produces something that is praiseworthy then I will praise it. I will not praise something because i am supposed to or because i'm obligated to some sort of gratitude. Overall I was happy with FOTR, i can't say the same for TTT. I understand that literature and movies are two completely different mediums, the former is one of the greatest art forms, the latter is unfortunately most of the time nothing but generic 'entertainement' mass produced for the sheeplike masses. I know the average literature reader is more intelligent than the average moviegoer, I just wish that someone could produce intelligent, mind blowing movies like Stanley Kubrick had done that actually make you think of things other than 'whoa cool effect'. I realize that making a movie out of LOTR word for word is unpractical and that some changes are necessary. However i expect these changes to make sense. Vist the encyclopedia of Arda and their movie guide for TTT and you'll see what the problems are with the changes made.
