... and I didn't mean to be pedantic but I thought the distinction was worth pointing out considering Christopher Tolkien's recent remarks about the films, especially his 'action movie' comment. Anyway Simon Tolkien's comments here are interesting, and I agree with him that Peter Jackson tried to get too much in -- in the sense of what was happening anyway. I would have cut more, altered much less, so to speak. I'm not sure I would call this being 'too faithful' however -- I get what Simon Tolkien means here, or what I think he means, as it seems obvious enough to me that what Jackson tried to fit into his films in general hails from the books (aside from invented stuff of course), but I would have chosen different wording.

It's possible there is a cultural context to terms like 'irrationality' ...
