are you kidding

Why are you back, BB?


i hope that i can say i know a few things about making movies (or god help you all when i start making REAL ones.)

while i know that it is impossible to turn a movie page for page onto the screen, there are some sacred things that are appalling to behold when altered.
Take the movie holes for example, BB. they turned that book straight into a movie. it was an awesome movie...... if you'd read the book.
Why am i acting like im on your side, BB?
I am trying to show you, [edited] , that i understand that movies made from books have to be changed to make them appeal to the general public. (who's average reading level is that of a first grader)

but like i said. some changes are completely unacceptable.
Sauron and aragorn should not fight. that's end of story. no one cares when something sacred is sacrificed for the masses' pleasure.
will it create drama and action and be exciting? of course it will that's why he is putting it in there.
burning down a church is also excitng and full of drama. but you don't cheer when your local temple/mosque etc is up in flames. (at least i hope not)

good lord, this thread makes me sick. really. it's bad enough, but your presence here makes me physically ill.
