People have a right to change their minds based on new information, and their reasons should be their own, not subject to a speculative "reality check" [In reply to] Can't Post

Having said that, most people around here seem to be the same. There's a group supporting most of the changes, a group not supporting most of them and then a group squarely in the middle. I don't pay enough attention to specific members to notice when they change their minds, and even if they have I will trust that they had good reasons to do so until I'm shown specific evidence to the contrary.

        Speculation is just that... Buchanicus Send a private message to Buchanicus Aug 18 2012, 8:46pm
            Not if a change is made. Lots of minor changes are just fine. AinurOlorin Send a private message to AinurOlorin Aug 18 2012, 9:08pm
                They are both changes. But I wouldn't object to either on that basis. Lacrimae Rerum Send a private message to Lacrimae Rerum Aug 18 2012, 9:28pm
                    I absolutely cannot. I can picture a situation where it would do a fantastic job of AinurOlorin Send a private message to AinurOlorin Aug 19 2012, 5:08am
                        Well an adaptation Lacrimae Rerum Send a private message to Lacrimae Rerum Aug 19 2012, 9:50am
                            And, at some point Lacrimae, it ceases to be a direct adaptation and becomes instead AinurOlorin Send a private message to AinurOlorin Aug 19 2012, 5:38pm
                                I am not aware of any definition of that point Lacrimae Rerum Send a private message to Lacrimae Rerum Aug 19 2012, 6:34pm
                                    Agreed Shelob'sAppetite Send a private message to Shelob'sAppetite Aug 19 2012, 6:49pm
                                    Not only does the distinction exist (hard as it may be to pinpoint, admittedly) AinurOlorin Send a private message to AinurOlorin Aug 19 2012, 7:01pm
                                        I expect nothing of the sort! Lacrimae Rerum Send a private message to Lacrimae Rerum Aug 19 2012, 7:11pm

                        The context is that of the post-LOTR reader Lacrimae Rerum Send a private message to Lacrimae Rerum Aug 20 2012, 12:32pm
                            wel if they want an abstract adaptation maybe PJ should have hired Sinister71 Send a private message to Sinister71 Aug 20 2012, 3:20pm
                                Would you really place Tim Burton and Michael Bay on the same level? Flagg Send a private message to Flagg Aug 20 2012, 3:49pm
                                    I am inclined to agree with you on this. AinurOlorin Send a private message to AinurOlorin Aug 20 2012, 9:22pm

                                        I think PJ is a far better director than Bay Shelob'sAppetite Send a private message to Shelob'sAppetite Aug 20 2012, 4:10pm
                                            I must disagree Spaldron Send a private message to Spaldron Aug 20 2012, 4:20pm
                                                Still Shelob'sAppetite Send a private message to Shelob'sAppetite Aug 20 2012, 5:46pm

                                        So your telling me Bay isn't a multi million dollar making director? Sinister71 Send a private message to Sinister71 Aug 21 2012, 1:20am
                        Can you see any bird crap? Spaldron Send a private message to Spaldron Aug 21 2012, 2:43pm

        When the new information is nothing more than a confirmation of things one claims to have been AinurOlorin Send a private message to AinurOlorin Aug 19 2012, 6:36pm
            It sounds like a lot of the invented material Escapist Send a private message to Escapist Aug 19 2012, 6:43pm

    1) There's no point in complaining about things we can't change. 2) Most of us are determined to *enjoy* these films when they are finished. Oin K Send a private message to Oin K Aug 22 2012, 9:25pm
