Eurytus, <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>As far as indicating Gandalf’s superiority over Saruman goes I do not think it necessary. Because of the “exorcism” scene this is already clear. The audience is already aware that Gandalf is now the stronger. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>No, this does not show he is stronger. This, my dear Eurytus, to compare to a game of football, is 1-1 at half time. Saruman scored a great goal in the first ten minutes by whipping Gandalf’s ar*e in Orthanc, while Gandalf has bundled in a goal on the stroke of half time by exorcising Saurman from Theoden.Removing Saruman’s control over Theoden shows a shift in power but not total control. Gandalf going to orthanc and ORDERING Saruman back and then breaking his staff shows that he is indeed the HEAD of the order of wizards now. And <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Then surely the answer is to not go and see it and instead wait for the EE. Problem solved. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Jackson is not stupid. He knows people will go see the movie WHATEVER it’s reported he’s done to it. They will then also add to his wallet by buying the sexed up EE version. He can do whatever he likes unfortunately. We would still go to see it. As Galadriel says to Celeborn: <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>If our folk had been exiled long and far from Lothlórien, who of the Galadhrim, even Celeborn the Wise, would pass nigh and would not wish to look upon their ancient home, though it had become an abode of dragons?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Jackson knows we feel the same about his films, unfortunately.[ November 15, 2003: Message edited by: Essex ]
