LOTR movies
Dec. 20th, 2003 11:38 amSo, all the lists I'm on are discussing ROTK, and I won't see the cursed movie before January! It's not fair! I want to participate (and most likely to bitch about the movie). I feel so left out! *pouts*
Okay, I know I'll probably hate it. Reading all the spoilers I also know why I'm gonna hate it. It's like with fanfiction. No matter how well a story is written, if it changes the main plot of The Books and causes excessive OOC-ness by the main characters, I would hate it. Period.
And I'm afraid that for me the movies belong to the category of well-"written" but still godawful fanfic.

I apologize by the Edhellond crowd for having to read this repeatedly. I'm afraid I'll rant about this topic a lot more in the future, especially after having seen that third movie.
But again, this is my personal rambling place, so what the heck? I need to rant, and it's better to litter my own LJ with it than on any of the lists I'm on and offend people who liked the movies. They have a right to like them. Just as I have a right to hate them.
