<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Apologies to whoever started the thread. Perhaps it would have been better broken down into two or three, one for each question. Hijacking is rife in the Movies forum.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Sadly, it was I who started the thread, and now I am defending one of the parties that I was initially accusing. I can defend this action somewhat, though, as my initial intent was to provide the arguments of many Tolkien purists in an easily accessible manner, and then leave it open to debate. Since Pandora has attacked Peter Jackson far more than I would have cared to, I felt the need to defend the director, as I am still a fan of the movies despite their admitted flaws and despite New Line's shameless over-advertisment and -merchandising.<p>[ 7:39 PM December 15, 2003: Message edited by: Lord of Angmar ]
