Or was it the Hobbit that had the whole genealogy of the Shire? Of course you're right that the same stuff that made my eyes cross is part of what made the world feel so complete to others.Vivi Andrewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00502615009474830083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8195180142213029080.post-23354796039578022292012-06-29T22:20:21.932-07:002012-06-29T22:20:21.932-07:00My pet peeve is when they rearrange the order of e...My pet peeve is when they rearrange the order of events in the movie. I can understand leaving parts out, but it really bothers me when they think scene 10 should actually be scene 7 and scene 8 should be scene 12.<br /><br />I too enjoyed the Lord of the Rings movies better than the books, simply because the author seemed to have a tendency to write in every little mundane event that happened and took forever to get to the point in any scene. I can understand why die-hard fans would be disappointed in the movies though, because they do leave a massive amount out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
