Movie Morons? I beg your pardon! This is your "nice"!
 I think you need a massage or something.

Thanks for the heads up, jd. I don't watch the major networks at all, so I would have missed this. I might give it a shot.

(covering face in shame)
How could I ever have shilled for this bozo? Like a REAL fan of the books would ever find it necessary to re-write Tolkien....

By the way - Bropous used to be like you - but he saw the error of his ways and joined the enlightened side.

What do you know, I didn't watch the ABC thing, nor will I see return of the King at the first midnight showing.
BB, wrong as usual. I will be seeing Return of the King. I will still be very disgusted when I walk out of the theatre. Too bad BB won't read the books so he could be at least as well-versed with the books as folks like jd are with the film. What a limited, small-minded crowd-follower BB is. The masses bought it, it HAS to be good, right? [snicker]

I like how Arwen and Aragorns love plays a far greater role in the story than Frodo - as is demonstrated by what was shown on primetime.

I would recommend seeing it - just to see how much jackson put into the special effects and the prop - but screwed up on the story and directing.

On a side note, I enjoyed the special tonight. I still am a big fan of the movies and a big fan of the books. I do take offense to the way you guys deem those who enjoy the movies. I am just able to take aspects from each and like them, regardless of changes or whatnot. Hell my favorite book is RotK and I know there will be changes and ommissions, but I am sure in the end I will still like the movie...

Sinome maruvan ar Hildinyar tenn' Ambar-metta!' - And those were the words that Elendil spoke when he came up out of the Sea on the wings of the wind: 'Out of the Great Sea to Middle-earth I am come. In this place will I abide, and my heirs, unto the ending of the world.' 'Then Tuor arrayed himself in the hauberk, and set the helm upon his head, and he girt himself with the sword; black were sheath and belt with clasps of silver. Thus armed he went forth from Turgon's hall, and stood upon the high terraces of Taras in the red light of the sun. None were there to see him, as he gazed westward, gleaming in silver and gold, and he knew not that in that hour he appeared as one of the Mighty of the West, and fit to be father of the kings of the Kings of Men beyond the Sea, as it was indeed his doom to be; but in the taking of those arms a change came upon Tuor son of Huor, and his heart grew great within him. And as he stepped down from the doors the swans did him reverence, and plucking each a great feather from their wings they proffered them to him, laying their long necks upon the stone before his feet; and he took the seven feathers and set them in the crest of his helm, and straightway the swans arose and flew north in the sunset, and Tuor saw them no more.' -Of Tuor and his Coming to Gondolin "Oh.
