Heh, great post, ronlaw. There are times when I almost feel like saying that as well. But, I know the original trilogy, and certainly the original Star Wars were far better movies on their own than PT. I'm willing to argue for that fact.

I agree. But it would have worked a lot better if it had just been kept that way. The Hobbit told the lie, and the lie was revealed in LOTR. It makes less sense when he went back to The Hobbit and changed it so that Gollum doesn't openly bargain the ring. Now we have Bilbo's story telling the truth, yet he admits the non-existant lie in LOTR.

Hmm, yeah, though I do believe the original form of the book is still available if you look for it. I'm not sure about this though.
