Oh, but eyes in the dark and an enchanted river can't be compared with the same sequence of half-rotten, snarling Orcs running after our heroes for the umpteenth time! And Jackson's Elves would never be able to even *appear* merry, dead and bloodless clones (or shopping window puppets) as they are.
Yes, I'm very angry about the Mirkwood sequence, too. That's perhaps the creepiest part of the whole book, and it went completely under in the general doom and gloom of the whole film.
Happy 2014 to you, too! I got your card - thanks. It made me feel ashamed as I've forgotten to send you one. But I was so focused on those who actually *did* ask for one a few posts before that I forgot the rest of mankind. So sorry. Will do better next time. Give the girls my love.
