Although I do not hate Jackson, I agree with you that JRRT LOTR could have been made into a GREAT movie by staying closer to the book. Others may disagree. So be it. Over all, so far, I still like the movies, but similar to Bakshi's version of LOTR, PJ's version of LOTR could have been so much better. jerseydevil, Good to hear from you again. Sincerely, Anthony

Well, BB, maybe you'll be disappointed, and he won't go THAT far from the books. imdb.com has Wi Kuki Kaa listed as playing Ghan-Buri-Ghan.
WHEEEEEE!!! Maybe PJ ISN'T totally bad.

Actually, I think this is great news. I would be willing to bet you thought that he will be part of the Extended DVD version, not the theatrical release.
I will be curious to see how PJ handles them. |

Somebody please PM me as soon as somebody, anybody in this thread comes up with something new... I've already stopped following this thread out of boredom alone.
I think it would be far more organized if we compared the film and the book on a more organized basis. I should set up a website with transcripts of definitive debates regarding every character, theme and chapter, categorized accordingly for easy reference.

Always trying to shove out Tolkien's characters, huh?
Where's the beer? You were supposed to stop on the way over and buy more beer. *sigh* DAMMIT! |

I did a search on google, but couldn't find a single picture of him.

Sheesh people! He's only saying that because he wants to get you on your horses. And he's doing a fine job at it too. But we all know deep down that BB was sobbing like a baby when he heard Tom Bombadil was cut from the movie.

Surely you're not implying that he -read- the book?
