If we agreed on everything, there would be problems <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />. I don't consider either Lord of the Rings as a book or movie "holy writ" per say... it's a book, or it's a movie, but there is nothing "sacred" about it... There are parts of the BOOK(s) I don't like very much. For me it's enough to say "Ya know, that was a darn good movie.". It's not a _perfect_ movie. I've yet to _see_ a perfect movie... because, quite frankly, each person would have to make the movie themselves for it to be "perfect", and even then it would only be perfect to them. And this was, at least untill the flames started raging, a decent discussion of how individuals took the varios adaptations of a good book into a good movie, and what they would have done different had they been in charge. It's a harmless discussion - we weren't in charge, so what's it really matter? Nothing, in the long run, but some people aparently feel so rabidly about the movie that they take any criticism as a near-personal insult. Criticism doesn't mean we think the movie sucked. It's not a repeat of the Dork Tower comic. Most of us have acknowledged that the movie was very good. But we realize that there are always going to be things that people disagree with, and decide to talk about them. I don't see why that offends so many people on a near-personal level, but for some reason, it does.*shrug**goes back to watching Hellsing and lets the flames rage*</blockquote>
