YOU'RE RIGHT! JACKSON GOD DID NOT BLESS ME WITH CROPS! He must not love me then!! May Jackson God curse himself! I'm not making human sacrifices to such an awful God!

How about a nail clipping then, hmm? Would you sacrifice that for one tiny spoiler pic and text, eh?

No need for human sacrifice.......what you need is a goat and a virgin (sex optional).

You kill the goat and *ahem* with the virgin.........not the other way around (very important that)

Although by the look of PJ your more likely to please him by sacrificing a packet of razor blades and a can of slim-fast

*getting personal*

Character development in a movie is much different than character development in a book. Jackson communicates a great deal about his characters with brief glances, gestures, and plot points as well as with dialogue. If PJ had really done a horrible job of capturing the characters as you claim, then there is no way in the world that these movies would have captured the imagination of so many people. No matter how great a plot, if moviegoers don't care about the characters, it doesn't matter.

IMHO, Jackson's Gandalf, Aragorn, Frodo, Sam, Legolas, and Boromir are some of the most amazing characters ever seen on film and the others aren't far behind.

No way! He makes Frodo seem like a big baby, rather than the brave, devoted character he is in the books! Frodo is able to bear his Nazgul wound and the Ring with strength! He isn't weak to them! I think PJ did a poor job on Frodo in the movies.

But, that's just my opinion.

If Frodo were "visably braver" as you are suggesting, the movies would have felt much less real, IMHO. To me, Elijah Wood does a fantastic job of showing his struggles with fear and doubt. The fact that he continues to quell those fears & doubts and keep going, shows real courage rather than the typical fantasy hero kind. Is it exactly like Tolkien wrote? no. But the type of bravery that Tolkien wrote wouldn't have worked on the big screen. Using his own approach, Jackson made Frodo "work" and that is no small feat.

My goodness, all I was just doing was saying I liked the book Frodo better. Don't take things so seriously, BB. PJ ain't perfect, y'know...

Oh well...the movie Legolas still rules, though...

Apparently you haven't tried to find a virgin lately...

Maybe a virgin goat would be the ticket.

The 'Moot 'tis strange but stranger still are the many boxes of lint stacked over there in the corner.

squinteyedsoutherner · 01-13-2003, 09:16 PM

OK, now that's really weird.

Sminty_Smeagol · 01-13-2003, 09:34 PM

I am a virgin goat! Can I kill myself and appease the JGod?

Coney · 01-13-2003, 09:48 PM

Ah well, .............. that would be an ecumenical issue.

This thread has officially gone to hell. So if PJ is God, then who is Satan?
