I say - join the film and LOVE the book!! The book of JRR must be better than the film, that could not tell the HOLE story and could not describe the FULL characters of the fellowship the ring. Forgive him!!!

Hi Giladrial, Really. it would be too much hassle to tell you what happens to Frodo, You'll just have to take some time and read the books! Trust me, you'll be glad you did.

I agree CBG. The books are quite more important than the movie.
(I finally get how to work that placement thing.)

I have a friend who keeps asking me that! It's just not the same if someone tells you what happens. You have to read the books. It's way better that way!

Hmmm...
Grrr... I just typed a long, complicated reply, and it didn't make it through, so now I get to type it all over again. Anyway, I must seem like Mr. Disagreeable, mumbling dissent all over the place (and maybe this is why nobody's replied to any of my posts here...)
Still, I think I'm going to be the voice of dissent here as well. In principle, I agree with what you're saying. Off topic discussion is a problem, first, because it wastes time (you spend time reading something you aren't looking for) and second, because it wastes space (a lot is unnecessarily repeated). For these reasons, posts that are explicitly off-topic should be closed or deleted. However, I find that with regards to the book vs. movie, there has to be some flexibility. Because the movie is adapted from the book, and because they share essentially the same plot, characters, and much dialogue and exposition, many things about the movie are definitely "on topic" about the book, and vice versa. You cannot expect these two subjects to always be mutually exclusive. I might sound like I'm being picky, but this has bothered me in several threads I've read tonight. The most extreme case was a thread dealing with "inspiring quotes" from the book and movie. The administration first chastized people for leaving quotes from the movie (some which are very similar with lines of dialogue from the book), suggested a parallel thread be opened in the movie forum to deal with movie quotes, and ultimately threatened to close the thread. I think this is both counterproductive and overreactive. I say above that wasted space is a problem of off-topic discussion, but think of how much space is wasted by having two seperate threads in two separate forums to deal with one topic, that is, inspiring quotes. I also say that wasted time is a problem, yet think of how much time is wasted when someone has to go to two different forums to read up on one subject. I think a much more reasonable expectation is to say that any thread in the Books forum must say something relevant to the books, regardless of whether the movie is involved or not. This will save time, save space, and it will be a lot less confusing to someone who wants to post an ambiguous subject relevant to both the movie and book. Dissentingly yours, Connor (Rhûnboy) PS. Edited, because my HTML code was bunk! :P Last edited by Rhûnboy : 09-15-2002 at 03:21 AM. |

Yeah, I agree with you. Peter Jackson did a great job making the movie, but it's still no book, and will never be.

The book is an endless well of discussion topics, and can easily be discussed independant of the movie.
The movie is adapted from the book, so it's inevitable that in the discussion of the movie, it will be compared to the book, or quotes from the book will be added etc. Because of this, I think any thread that mentions the movie should be in the movie forum.

I'm with you guys... but I know it's easy to go massively off-topic! I've sure done that a few times... but we just have to try to keep 'em seperate!

I would suggest introducing yourself in the newbie thread in the General Messages forum, and then just explore the board a little. After you've read some of the threads, you'll get the hang of it. Also, refer to the Frequently Asked Questions. There's a lot of helpful info there.

ya, one more peice of advise. I have been here only for a while my self.
But yes, I have had enough of my threads closed down. SO DONT POST NE RUBBUSH. Azalea and the others will shut them down immediately. If u want proof. goto LORD OF THE RINGS: BOOK and look for Iluventmoot, or azalea-not so good---- or goto Middle Earth and look for : SEXy Shelob, all closed down. So i hope u get the message.

Well, I guess that when you name your threads to funny names like "Sexy Shelob", "azela, not so good moderator", and "Iluventmoot" and keep posting the threads in the wrong places, then you have to count on that the threads are being closed
