Afaranafawen: Another reason why PJ took out Bombadil is time constraints. That's basically what it boils down to. He simply didn't have enough time to introduce Bombadil properly (you have to admit, the guy would take quite a bit of explaining/backround/whatever to make sure he came off right!), & he probably would've come of as some singing Jar-Jar Binks. I was quite unhappy with it myself untill I read everyone's replys on my old thread 'Should Tom Bombadil have been in the movies?". Those replys helped me a lot, & it's probably worth the searching for them (about 7 or 8 pages back?) if you want to read them...
