Why does the salary of executives at Warner Brothers bear any relevance to this at all? I get that you don't like the idea of Tauriel on principle and the choice - whoever made the choice - to promote the elves when promoting this film has been off-putting for you. Doesn't make a lot of sense to me to reject something out of hand before you've seen it, but that's up to you. You were putting your case very clearly until this post, and then I thought - what? Now, I don't know what executives at Warner Brothers are paid. I don't care, to be honest - it's nothing to do with me. I presume they earn it, whatever it is, and if they don't, then that's Warner Brothers' problem, not mine. I don't know who is making the decisions about promoting the films, or whether they've read Tolkien (or, perhaps more pertinently in this case, whether they've dicussed the film with Peter Jackson or someone close to him). I'm not sure how you do. But when you toss that into the conversation, I can't help but wonder how far your attitude to the film is coloured by a general dislike of Warner Brothers. Which seems to me to be doing an injustice to Peter Jackson and his film. Besides which, it isn't very logical. Just because someone may have a high salary doesn't mean they can't read a book, or understand a film when they see it...... [BTW - in case you're wondering, I'm not a)employed by WB or b) a highly paid executive. Or a highly paid anything, for that matter.... I just like the grounds on which the discussion is based to be made clear.]
