You can't be talking about me surely [In reply to] Can't Post

as I noted earlier I am certainly no purist or I wouldn't enjoy the movies to the extent I do, and consider some of the changes Sir PJ made essential to a successful movie series. I find it disturbing that it is the so called purists who tend not to get personal when discussing Tolkien but the same courtesy is rarely extended from others.

How interesting you find Aragorn was not an issue I was commenting on, what I did comment on was the fact that you referred to him as stuck up and the fact that Tolkien wrote otherwise, which I think is very relevant to answering the question in the OP. For this I take it I am labellled a snarky purist, well done to you.

Can someone explain to me this need for every character to be lordly and proper all the time? starlesswinter Send a private message to starlesswinter Nov 8 2012, 7:09am
    This might be moved over to the board for the trilogy, as it seems to be more relevant to those films MatthewJer18 Send a private message to MatthewJer18 Nov 8 2012, 7:14am
