I find it rather disappointing and sad that some of you respond to my noble attempts to engage you in an intellectual discussion that could lead to your enlightenment with silly, juvenile name-calling. Examples: BB: Boromir's portrayal in the movie was an improvement from the book. Classic Purist Knee-jerk Response: TROLL!!! BB: Jackson's version of the breaking of the fellowship was inspired because of the way it tied up loose ends and enhanced the plot over Tolkien's approach. Classic Purist Knee-jerk Responses: IDIOT!!! JERK!!! MORON!!! |

stop going round in circles its starting to p*** me off. The only thing that PJ improved about the books and its something he can be very pleased about is there appeal. Having seen the movie i found it a lot easier to get into fellowship than the two towers and return of the king and it also sparked an intrest in reading in me something i had not ever previously done in this PJ can be proud but the book and movie are two very seperate things so dont try and compare them.

posted by BoP Did PJ improve upon Tolkien? No. Did he improve upon parts of Tolkien? Overall, no. Did he mangle Tolkien? Yes. Is BB a twat? Absolutely. and i aslo agree with sween, your a tool. oh and don't forget those huge words that bropous called you, i agree with that too.. oh and when you referred to yourself as one of those knuckledragging mouthbreathers, yea, that was on the money. oh and your the only person who i don't want to share my ivory tower with, you smell like poo. i am thisclose to putting you on my ignore list. which i vowed never to use here. i htink that everyone has a right to voice thier opinion, and if i don't want to read it, then i won't. now i don't like your opinions (if you can call them that) but their so forkin funny that this thread has tunred into something like my favourite television show. well have a good day, im going to go rock in a corner now while mumbling quietly to myself.

The endless baiting (trolling, I guess) is funny but the ferret like reliance on the same verbal tools (tools, heh heh) is a scream. Can anyone say they are "a huge Tolkien fan" and then trash the author's work? Hardly. It's just a desperate cry for attention.

What should be done is constant sticking to your point-the arguments of BB are as shifty as local wardheelers. Very disconcerting. Stick to your points and be firm-trust me, I've just spent an hour revising my flock of essays.

Yay! Both sides are using faulty logic!
Seeing as BB will never admit to the existence of a sigle flaw in the movie, this entire thread has become pointless. All I would like to add is that most of the people I know in real life, all preferred the book more to the movie (including those who saw the movie before reading), but that really doesn't prove anyting, other than that the support of the vast majority really doesn't help win an argument <resists urge to make cracks aboout certain candidates who have won elections in the past>. Btw, Tom Bombadil worked wonderfully in the book, but would have failed if included in the movie.

They are alike. Deluded, living in they own little world, not embarrassed no matter how silly they appear. Yes, "the same stuff" is the only way to say it here. I would have enjoyed a good debate on the subject, but there really hasn't been anything worthy of debate in a while. I think many of the "movie-only" lovers might feel, deep inside, they prefer the movie, but aren't well read enough to understand both arguements. Many might be secretly glad that Frodo's role as protagonist is dimished. Most people who started with the movie and then read the book seem to understand that the book has more to offer intellectually. I've considered taking the pro arguement but this is more fun.

Yeah, PJ might've turned him into an armored warrior with a sword, and Goldberry into a helpless damsel in distress. TB rocks!
Also, PJ's version of the Flight to the Ford made Frodo seem weak, having to be taken by horse with another, right after he gets the wound. Frodo was strong in the book, and endured the wound for many days, and went to Rivendell on horse by himself until he couldn't bear the wound any longer.

This is really getting ridiculous. You know this thread is in the dumper when Anna Nicole Smith gets mentioned as part of a LOTR discussion.
1. I never said the movie was without flaws. 2. I never said the movie is better than the books. 3. What I AM saying it that Jackson added some nice touches that improved the storyline. But some of you have chosen to ignore these statements and continue to portray me as some fanatic who believes the movie is superior to the books. That's hogwash and people who care enough to actually READ this thread know it. The movie is great. The books are great. Each has its unique flaws and limitations. However, the strengths of the two provide true Tolkien lovers with the best of both worlds. |
