Message: <blockquote data-quote="Edena_of_Neith" data-source="post: 310170" data-attributes="member: 2020">For Peter Jackson and his WorksI wish to say this ...  We Gamers stand in long lines at Conventions like Gen Con and Origins (even those who Preregistered, often have to stand in long lines ...)  We wait, hour upon hour, for that special game to start.  And when we play, we patiently wait for our chance to roleplay, our chance to act, our chance to participate in the fun.  Gamers appreciate the value of patience ... and they appreciate the necessity of patience, whether they are playing in a Home Game in the basement, an RPGA Game at an Authorized Event, or a massive board game battle at Origins.  Now, with that having been said ...  Peter Jackson made a good film.  And what he had to say and show, was worth listening to and watching, from beginning to end.  I think it is quite reasonable to assume that if Peter Jackson had more to say and show - and could not say and show because of limits imposed by the realities of the Theater - then that is also worth listening to and watching also.  Thus, I look forward - I look forward very greatly - to the Extended DVD of FOTR.  I have faith in Peter Jackson.  I was a doubter, before the FOTR film ... a skeptic, and I when in and watched that film, and I learned to believe in the magic that Peter Jackson could create.  So, if Peter Jackson wishes to create a 4 hour film of TTT, then by God I will have faith that this man can create something worthy of 4 hours of my time.    And as a Gamer, I appreciate the idea of patience ... and if patience is needed to sit and watch a 4 hour film, then I will exert that patience.  I have sat and played 4 hour games aplenty and to spare ... there is nothing difficult about sitting in a theater for 4 hours!  Especially when the magic of Peter Jackson is filling that theater, and sweeping me up and away in it's story.  So now you know why I signed that petition.  I want Peter Jackson to do it his way, and have his way - be it a 2 hour film or a 5 hour film.  I hope you will sign the petition.  I can hope.  I know that many, if not most of you, enjoyed FOTR.  I know that many of you, if not most, think very highly of Peter Jackson.  Why not have faith in him now?  Help him to show us the story he intended.  Help him to fully actualize the magic he wants to bring to the Silver Screen.  Give him the chance to bring us his epic vision of TTT, and let nothing stand in the way.  I can only make a case, not make demands.  However, I have signed the petition, and I stand with Peter Jackson, and I have faith that if he creates a 4 hour film, it will be worth all the time, money, and effort (and cramping in those theater seats) to go and see that film.  Edena_of_Neith</blockquote>
