Music & Movies

I was really happy with the LOTR movie. Tolkien may have been a master, but he didn't know how to milk certain dramatic aspects of the situation. Fantasy works best when we see a little of the bad guy's side of the equation, and I think expanding the involvement of Saruman was a wise move on the part of the filmakers. Ditto such things as the inclusion of the death of Boromir as an onscreen rather than offscreen thing like it is in the book, and Aragorn and Frodo's conversation on the hill before he leaves. Most of the changes and extras actually enhanced the movie rather than detracting from it, and while it did not remain true to the letter of the lore it was true to the spirit of the lore.

...plus love interests, and women in general were added...

anybody heard the news lately that they found water on mars. it was in yesterdays science times.

Sure, I'd love a sandwich, Gir.
