Oh my Lord. To read that made me sick. PJ is the man. Boorman should be slain (if he is not dead already). Sorry to be so blunt, but wow! Tolkien would of rolled over in his grave and perhaps haunted Boorman the rest of his life!

I think those changes would work if the director was prepared to just have a laugh with the film, and turn it into a completely unserious, camp, kung-fu comedy. The lower the budget the better.

That way they could even fit in the tra-la-lallies.

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!

This was NOT a mental picture that I needed to have in my brain!

That sums it up pretty well...

Bringing together Lord of the Rings and the guy who made Zardoz would be like bringing together matter and anti-matter.

Whoa...if Boorman filmed the the Lord of the Rings...well... I will say that we might not have much of a movies thread here, would we?
