Can you quit debating? The admins have spoken. If BB is ever an admin, he can question the other admins' decisions. As of now, he will have to be content with the board rules as they are.

Silmarillion Movie
I can't see it being made into a movie, but I can see a Japanese style cartoon being made out of it. Yeah, probably a good one made by the same guy who did Cowboy Bebop or the Animatrix guys. They could probably do it some justice. Live action just isn't possible, no one would live long enough to finish it.
Oh and by the way, Peter Jackson has better casting skills than you do. I am quite sure you put Pamala Anderson on there for a reason.

As for Pamela Anderson - I think it doesn't matter who he cast - the point I was making was that Jackson would some how use his overdone slow motion and turn the Luthien and Beren scene into a look-a-like of the intro to Bay Watch.

O dear. I don't think I'm going to picture that.

The cast
I think that someone should come up with a cast,*coughjerseymancough* Then we all can criticize it.

This is my DVD Collection. This is what makes me an authority on what I like and what can be done in movies. Some movies I like less than others though of course. Some I hardly ever watch. Some I can watch over and over and over again.

As it stands it bears a resemblance (I'm sure unintentional) to the standard professional athlete's response to criticism the gist of which frequently is: "You never played the game, so you can't criticise what I do." Surely it is possible to point out weaknesses of a movie, to suggest ways you think it could be improved, etc. without submitting a script. I don't believe Roger Ebert, for one, has ever written a script or directed a movie. And bear in mind criticism can be both positive and negative. Therefore, to criticise PJ doesn't necessarily make you a detractor (although, granted, it could).

Tremendous thought was given to each and every scene (much more than any one of us have given here). The issues involved were never as black and white as "should we include this scene or not?" It was a giant jigsaw puzzle of conflicting interests in terms of plot, pacing, character development, and story. It's fine to criticize the films but most of PJ's critics here don't understand -- and don't want to understand -- filmmaking. Their view is that if it wasn't exactly like the books, it was wrong, period. |

The problem many seem to have with that jigsaw puzzle is, how pretty the picture is once it is together.

At least we can all agree that there was deviation. I for one wanted to see Glorfindel, since he is my favorite elf in the books. Not to mention the Glorfindel in the Silmarillion. I don't think that the ford scene was a good change, I think that it was a good scene. PJ mentioned something about having female characters playing a larger role because Women Activist groups got after him, IF I heard it correctly. That certainly doesn't totally justify the change, it just shows how the world we live in won't allow things to be exactly the same as it was first written. Some group or another will call you racist or sexist and sue.
