Inaugural purist thread

[Eldorion]

The Scouring of the Shire should have been included.

[Ringdrotten]

I'll have you Purists for this!

[Gandalf's Beard]

The Scouring of the Shire should have been included.

It would have been anticlimactic.

(Isn't this great? It wasn't worth rehashing old arguments on the last forum as we'd already had them. I guess we'll have to get them going again so newbies can have a crack at them. ).

Well now that GB split out the Scouring stuff, what do we do here?

Perhaps I shall defend the honor of the 'moderate' purist position against Petty and Odo. (Where is Odo, anyway?)

[Gandalf's Beard]

Ooops, I thought my last post would start the new thread.

I just figured the Scouring is a topic unto itself. These threads should probably just be a place to heckle each other.

GB

[Eldorion]

Sounds good. And yes, the innaugural threads are shaping up to be rather silly.

[Gandalf's Beard]

I expect Odo will be along soon enough (and Biffo and Wisey and Mirabella etc ).

I think I'm going to like you having old arguments again - I get to join in!!

[Eldorion]

Yes, I hope the entire Banks clan shows up. I suspect that Planet Tolkien might not like having so many different aspects of the same personality around, but I love it.

We should bring back the Faramir debate then, that was my first ever disagreement with GB! A portent of things to come.

[Gandalf's Beard]

Hey Kafria. Why don't you copy and paste your post onto the Scouring of the Shire thread. Then you can delete it here. (save me some Mod time ).

Indeed, the adaptation of Faramir makes a nice discussion

I can't believe you ever got away with saying that, Ringo!

[Lancebloke]

I quite like these kind of threads... arguing is one of my favourite things to do.

Maybe someone should set an agenda! My agenda item would be 'Army of the Dead: Green, Mean and waste of a Scene?'

I have plenty more to offer up.

Re the scouring - should have been included on the DVDs/Blu Rays as an extra, would have given the films far too much to cover otherwise.

Re Faramir - he was an idiot in the films and it made the plot make no sense.

Either that, or put it in the film in the first place and do the right thing by Tolkien (and people who prefer Great stories Greatly filmed).

Re Faramir - he was an idiot in the films and it made the plot make no sense.

Yes - yes ---- and yes! "Idiot" is the word!
