But Baby-K, I will admit that when I first came here, I was like you. I was rather shocked and really put off my the elitist attitude of the Entmoot book people and their condescending attitude about the movie. So my initial approach was to give them a dose of their own medicine. But I swear, I would rather read an annoying - but interesting - anti-Jackson post than to read the type of drivel coming from blowhards like bropous who spends half a page telling us how boring this thread is. Oops...I promised myself I was gonna start toning it down a bit. Well, it would be helpful if somebody would please post something on-topic to get us back on a real discussion track. I'm too braindead tonight to do it myself. So who's game? Weak Frodo? Xenarwen? jokester Gimili anyone? Please anything but another bropous post!!!! |

I read in TORN today that Ghan-Buri-Ghan will not be making an appearance in ROTK. I'm curious what the rest of you think of this decision.
It may just be me, but I never felt comfortable with Ghan and his crew in the book. They didn't seem to "fit" into the Middle-Earth universe. I thought even Tom Bombadil was a much better representative of Middle-Earth than Ghan-Buri-Ghan. Considering the massive amount of the story that needs to be covered in ROTK, I view Jackson's decision to exclude him as a wise one. Agree? Disagree? |

Disagree. Majorly, majorly, MAJORLY disagree. That -insert rude adjective- BASTARD. (Note: I don't think he is literally a bastard, but the usual nouns just don't suffice in this incident). Woses just flat out RULE. They are awesome. And I have no idea why you say they don't fit into Tolkien's world.
My gosh, PJ must be writing this movie specifically for me. He's managed to kill off my three FAVOURITE characters. (excluding Gandalf, and possibly Galadriel). Ruinel, I just may take you up on the offer of Orc-killing. I know one with a beard and glasses who'm I just feel like ripping apart with my bare hands right now. -not a happy moth-

It figures. Take out the one thing I was looking forwards to in RoTK - I already know everything else (Shelob, Mt. Doom, etc) will be crap. PJ seems to be a big fan of misrepresenting Middle Earth - how are the woses not part of ME??

What? No woses? Fne!
Well I guess it was to be expected. With throwing Shelob into the third movie something else had to be thrown out if you still want a decent lenght of film. Wish he had skipped the whole thing in Osgiliath in the second movie instead. Fne, I'm really starting to fear that ROTK will be mayorly simplified.

Thanks Ruinel. I'll pass on the potato salad, though. Hmm...I'll take Glamdring. Should glow blinkin' pink for PJ.

I won't miss the wild men. Tom Bombadil...Yes, missed! Ghan...no. That's just one of the parts I always speed through.

The scene with Shelob is far better than the Scouring. That is when Sam gets his balls. And it is also when he first has physical contact with The Ring. He has an inner struggle against temptation and makes the decision to take the Ring to it's end. Sam's love for and loyalty towards Frodo is really apparent. (Get your minds out of the gutter!) It is, however, very sad that the Scouring is not present. How do you know this? Tom B. grated on my friggin' nerves! It is the only thing Tolkien wrote that I just didn't click with. |

It has been known for some time that Jackson will not be filming the Scouring of the Shire.

Disagree. Mainly because he will use the time that could have been spent on the Woses on another one of his ideas to improve to story.
