: On the other hand, just because JRRT said that LotR should have been longer, or that it was incomplete, does not mean that he wanted somebody else to finish it. Imagine what kind of cry would be raised if some schmoe put arms onto the Venus de Milo. snip : I I do not, however, see why we should wait for the movie to come out. PJ's decision is an idea. I don't think there's any reason we shouldn't question ideas until they're actualized. I am not saying that we shouldn't discuss it, but I think the manner in which the discussions have taken place (to date) have been in an air of panic and fright. It seems to me that someone walks in the room and yells "FIRE" and then one campe scampers to put it out while the other looks around saying "Where?". I would prefer an air of, "I heard this recently on the rumor list, what are the thoughts?" Rather then, "I refuse to see the movie NOW!" It is very disheartening, and it wears. I will continue to defend PJ until the movie is actually relreased and can stand or fall on its own, especially in light of the fact that people will continue to post their "FIRE" statements. By the way, the trailer has been viewed already by a select group, and everyone who was there seemed very enthused. -RobRoy
