More on 'Be Grateful'
Lothengriol

I wanted to compliment Curious George. He really is right: Peter Jackson really did well on TTT. It's a hard book to adapt (sometimes it's hard to PICTURE it being adapted!) to a movie, and I think Mr. Jackson did a marvelous job. He's got everyone to worry about, and he wants everyone to be happy. Some changes I severely disagree with, but am willing to forgive because I have total faith that it will end neatly (and I understand why he made those changes and know that I have ought not complain--we should all be thankful that someone who cares as much about the story as PJ took on the job and NOT someone who would take over and ruin the story *coughGeorgeLucascough*). For doing his best and better than anyone anticipated, we need to stand behind the movie (and hope the extended DVD clears things up a bit). I am totally satisfied...except...WHY oh, WHY does Arwen have to show up SO MANY TIMES??
