<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Yep, that?s right he went half-insane. More hyperbole.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>You obviously saw a different movie from me; the part in question was laughable. Gandalf acts totally out of character for him and in fact does something that no sensible person would. Half-insane just about covers it.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Watch the extended edition. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>How about Jackson just produces a complete film instead of a trailer for the DVD for a change? I don't remember being offered a discount because some of the film was missing (eg Galadriel's gifts).<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Saruman is referred to as Aruman many times during Bakshi?s version. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>I meant "God knows what Bakshi was thinking here" not you.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> And Native American or not, wearing a mini-skirt whilst trudging around wild heathlands and forests is more than a little stupid.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>The Scots will be upset to hear that.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Again the look of the Balrog is nothing to do with technical issues. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>In animation complex drawings equals time equals money.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> I would say running probably was the best tactic in the circumstances don?t you? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>And carrying a bright light?<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> And the whole point of the charge/pike scene was that they knew the sun would blind the Uruk?s and cause them to lose their focus. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Given that they were charging straight onto pikes the orcs could simply have looked the other way: the Riders were commiting suicide.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> I felt that was clear enough. As did pretty much the rest of the cinema going population I think. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>It raised a few giggles in the cinema I was in. Whether that was because of the ridiculous slope they charged down or the risible tactics I don't know.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Right he should have dumped it and missed out on the critic?s acclaim, over $1 billion of movie receipts, Oscar nominations and wins <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Oh, we're back to the old bean-counter argument.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Though I thought this was a discussion forum <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Are you going to discuss something then or just shout "No" again? I've tried to initialise some dialog about how particular scenes were handled, or could have been handled, or were handled by other people. You ignored all of them and just ranted on and on and on and on and on and on about how fantastic is is that Jackson made all that money and how everything he did is justified because it got bums on seats.<P>Tell you what: forget the whole thing. Just go away and be happy in your own little accountant-world that you are right and I'm wrong. I will not be responding to any further posts from you on this topic.<P>Now, are there any adults here that want to discuss, for example, the "Bug-eye" scene?
