Love stories are nice. Quit being such a smudge!

I don't want to be on any elf-bash list! Methinks she doth protest too much...
To: JenB; HairOfTheDog
Historically inaccurate. Well of course Jen, it's Hollywood. Do you really think a documentary would be up for best picture?
We take entertainment for what it's worth. And if sometimes a movie can dredge up some emotion without having to make us think too much, we're okay with that...
On the other hand, I can't quite believe I'm defending Titanic...

I love many elves...
To: HairOfTheDog
Yes, but not love stories with diCapitated.

Quit being such a smudge! Jen must be in one of her "Elfier than thou" moods...
To: JenB
He is attractive enough! - smudge.

Elves passing through the Shire from the Extended cut! Why are they headed east? Aren't those white ship thingies supposed to be the other direction? These elves are just as dangerous with a map as a 2nd Lieutanant.

...can't really explain myself... Must not comment. Must not comment...
To: ksen
Isn't that the old Threadkiller hangout Tramlaw?LOL!
My brother calls it Mallwart...
To: ksen
Why are they headed east? Maybe Frodo and Sam are watching from the north...?
To: JenB
Were you here for the grand Titanic bash the other day? Lots o' fun!
To: HairOfTheDog
He is attractive enough!You're joking, right? PLEASE tell me you're joking!!
To: nate4one
Why can't movies just follow books as they were written?Because we'd still be sitting through this one if it did. ;^)
Seriously, I think because the formats are so different that every little detail can't be followed. PJ has done the best I've seen with retaining everything that needed to be retained. FoTR the movie was extremely faithful to the spirit of FoTR the book.

Well, I will say that they appear to be going east... BUT is that only because our brains are assuming Frodo and Sam are looking North instead of looking South? Do we always think we are are looking north in films? Have to think about that. What if we are from New Zealand? Is West on the left or the right in our heads?
To: HairOfTheDog; ksen
Is West on the left or the right in our heads? Ouch. My brain hurts...(maybe it was turning around)
To: ksen; nate4one
FoTR the movie was extremely faithful to the spirit of FoTR the book.Actually, as much as I like the movie, I have to (partially) disagree. Some things were changed that there was NO reason to change - i.e. GIMLI suggesting they go through Moria (and the left out his being unsure about Balin and co.), while Gandalf was afraid to go, and Frodo solving the riddle of the door. I can live with Arwen's glorified role, but how come Frodo didn't get to stand up to the Riders? For that matter, how come EVERY TIME he had to fight, he dropped his sword and backed away? He was the wimpiest of the hobbits in the movie!
(I know they'll probably change him in the next movies, but gee whiz!)
To: HairOfTheDog
He is attractive enough! He looks good blue.....in blue.....nevermind I'll just say blue suits him best.
