Millions of copies of the LOTR DVD have thick black bars at the bottom and top of the screen throughout the film. Didn't anyone catch this? You know what happens at the end, in the extreme foreground and extreme upper sky? Neither do I. Bush league, guys.

Although I haven't seen the DVD to verify this, I suspect you're all wet on this one. Sounds like you do not understand the simple concept of letterboxing. Can you elaborate on this a bit more so I can make sure you've done your homework? First explain letterboxing for me [so I can tell whether you even know what it is and why it is used]. Then let me know whether you think the black bars on the DVD are or are not letterboxing, and why.

Also, I think your article is bogus because it mostly consists of what [in your mind] are "goofs" -- plot holes, continuity problems, etc.; you don't have anything substantive to say about the film. Every movie has goofs if you look closely enough. You mistake nitpicking with artistic criticism, which is an arrogant and lowbrow approach to film reviewing.

Your reply was as funny as the original post!

Dear A.J.Armitage
you clear are mis informed for in the 1940's. The movies were not writ-in by peter jackson. Hopefully your joking, because i would say you living under a rock because you haven't heard of fiction or JRRTolkien. Good job! do some research o and thank your website from protecting you from a more aggressive response. do some research for your own dignity, and self respect.
