I'm not saying this is wrong, just that we should acknowledge that we've already overstepped the bounds the original author placed on his own work. It has therefore been changed by the interpretation of others. Perhaps "secondary" is the wrong term, but I think it's analogous to printing a painter's rough sketches. Constable, for example, was one of England's most famous romantic painters. However, his field sketches turned out to be far more influential than his finished works: they inspired the Impressionists to change completely how they painted landcapes. And yes, the Sil would probably be more secondary than UT. What do you think? cheers d. Last edited by Dunadan : 01-20-2003 at 01:09 PM. |

BB and PJ in a tree doing what the shouldnt be k..i..s..s..i..N..g seriously PJ why dont you just get a room or as im sure your phycatrist of the police call it a shrine to PJ. Seriously i have a gay mate whos looks just like him...want his number?
Im a born again purist semi. I think some things are better in the book (the majority) and i think some things are better in the film but most things are translated well so theres a middle ground of the same as.

hmph, defy catagories! well...I guess im a cross between a bombadillite and BOP's disliking the movies just b/c they werent good! *shrugs*
Most of my friends are born again purists. Or...there should be a small group for ppl that went to see the movies b/c of the hot elf guy, liked them for the hot elf guy, then the whole born again part. Thats most of my friends. ~Celebréiel

What is this? You refer to the Apostates as Children of Light? Traitors!!!
And DUH! Of COURSE LotR is real! It happened 7000 years ago! That's, Like, SO obvious!

Sheesh, BB, say something NICE for once instead of bashing Tolkien fans and praising that plump dolt PJ.

Well I think one can enjoy both the bookks, which are a lot of work to read. And the movies , / One just s toremember that if Jackson had done a full rendition of the books, no toying with the books at all the movies would each run 9 hours in length. So his adaptations are lovely.and I enjoy them

The Separatist Purist - Those of the beings who truly love the Lord of the Rings, but also enjoy the movies made by Jackson; these particular Purists are able to separate the trilogy told by Jackson's spurting blood and twisted characters from the epic Lord of the Rings tale told by the wise founder, Professor J. R. R. Tolkien.
This is me. Wow thank you for finding the name of my true path.

in the wheel of time The Children of the Light are a psychotic gruop of purits who supposedly walk in the light but everyone hates *ducks below hail of masonry*
I think i'm a fair weather purist but also a separaist purist, i used to b indecisive but know im not so sure

Well, Children of the Light reminds me of Children of the Corn.

azalea: Actually, a friend of a friend of mine got a copy of TTT from her dad, who got in Quwait (or however you spell it)!!! Maybe Draken has found a similar copy. Have you? Huh, buddy?
