With sauron afraid of anduril when it's far away, why would he actually confront it himself? Not that logical.

Heh. You sure you read the books, BB? Cause I don't think that line was in them.

-snicker- Better than the book, maybe, but NEVER than the movie.

You are obviously someone who is able to effectively argue her points without flaming, etc. Just keep doing it like that and everything will be fine. Others here have mastered the fine art of roundabout flaming, where they post something that is ambiguous enough that I have no solid reason to edit/ reprimand. |

I'd just like to say that, for the record, I haven't flamed BB yet.
Oh, no. If it ever comes to that, I'm going to start recruiting people from the VNBoards and reduce him to a pure carbon cinder. That said... Breathalizer has consistently demonstrated a poor understanding of Tolkien and Middle Earth, and an equally poor understading of the laws of storytelling and narrative. He has defended the capricious, arrogant, and completely unjustified changes to Tolkien's work. When confronted, he has repeatedly dodged behind unjustified assertions that the changes were 'nescessary for making a film' even though they clearly are not. He has continually behaved in an insulting, arrogant manner, and repeatedly made offensive comments about the large majority of people here who disagree with him. I remember quite clearly one of the first conversations I had with Afro Elf. It's notable to say that, although I consider him a friend, I was at that time more harsh in argument with him than I have yet been with BB. In any case, I said (in edited form): Quote:

*reads Sween's opening post*
No, he wouldn't do that, would he? *remembers Arwen's MOVIE line : "you'll face the same enemy, you poor little weak man running from your heritage who needs a buff she-elf to stiffen his spine, and you'll defeat him"* OH....MY.....GOODNESS..... *sigh* Quote:

But seriously, it is perverse logic to say that PJ made the story popular, when it was Tolkien that made the movies poplular. Was anyone breathlessly awaiting PJ's next release before LotR? Are you on the edge of your seat for his remake of King Kong? This will be the work of his life and he owes a great deal of thanks to JRRT and his loyal armies of purists for spreading the buzz and buying tickets, DVDs, etcetera. Otherwise his work would go largely unnoticed.

heheh yah. I think maybe mAragorn (movie Aragorn) is running from something besides his heritage. "No, really, Galadriel. I want her to go to Valinor."

Thank you Azalea
