An alternative name for Galadriel's husband Celeborn that Tolkien came up with is 'Teleporno.'(

I feel like posting that has somehow cancelled out all the sex I've ever had...(

I went to see a late night showing of Fellowship when it came out.I was with a female friend, and she was definitely in the minority. There were two Tolkien nerds behind us who had clearly paid to be upset about how unfaithful it was to the book. I asked them to pipe down a bit at the start when Galadriel's voice-over mentioned "the creature Gollum" ["The CREATURE?!?" one of them exclaimed, incredulously].
At the end, as the credits said "based on..." one of them yelled "based LOOSELY on the book by JRR Tolkien!"
tl;dr: even if all your sex has been cancelled out, it's still more than they ever had.

Heh, they sound as bad as the Dr Who nerds.There are things I think PJ got wrong with the films, but on the whole they're pretty good.

Yeah, the Two Towers lost it a bit for an hour or two but otherwise they were decent adaptations.Not including the Hobbit films, which were... unnecessary.

I have deliberately avoided seeing those.I understand the source material feels thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread.

I reckon there's a passable movie there if you combine them, but as it stands they're bloated and the embellishments are tone-deafJ R R Rowling

There are apparently some fan edits that do a decent job of this.(

There haven't been as many school shootings in the news here recently, i genuinely wonder if that's just because it's not such shocking news any more. (
