Oops...I realized it actually was complaining when I was looking it up in regards to Lush's thread. That's why I didn't say it wasn't complaining. Yeah, I was wrong, I was hoping no one would notice but oh well.<P>Sorry if I was a little harsh. I actually meant it at the time, but now what I mean is that if you don't like complaining, then don't complain about it. Sounds wierd, but thats what I meant.<P>We will give it a second chance, I'm sure. I thought that it was a good movie, but there are things about it that make me very angry and disapointed. People often critcize and complain because they can't accept something. We can accept the good parts about it so we don't really talk about it. With the bad parts and the changed parts, we're still in denial. But think about it, its only been about three days. We will give it time, but right now it hasn't been long enough for some of us, so just try to be patient. As for complaining, its discussing how we felt, and in turn, its using this thread kind of like an outlet for our anger and frustraion. Right now things are really tense. It will calm down over time. But there are some, actually a lot, of things I think that we will never get over. To name a few, faramir, the elves at helms deep, and Gimli the comedian.<P>Sorry for being so harsh and sorry for being offensive. I'd like for everything to be happy here. We necessarily aren't really mad at each other, we're actually mad at the way the movie turned out. I just get so angry sometimes. <P>Oh yeah, Lhunbelethiel, PJ's vision doesn't threaten mine. It actually threaten's the views of people who are being introduced to LotR through the movies. I just feel sorry for the people who will have trouble reading LotR because of conflicting changes between the books and the movies. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> This was Peter jackson's vision and he owed us nothing. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Actually he does. He owes us what he promised, and we still haven't gotten it. He said that he would follow the book as closely as he could. He didn't. He made a lot of unnecessary changes. It was even foreshadowed in FotR. Like with Arwen. That wasn't necessary at all. About leaving out the barrow downs, the old forest, and tom bombadil, I could see that. It doesn't necessarily relate to Frodo, or the ring, but niether did Arwens adapted role. Oh well, what's done is done. I just hope, no, pray that RotK will fare better.<p>[ December 21, 2002: Message edited by: MLD-Grounds-Keeper-Willie ]
