Hey, find a newborn baby and ask him to eat crap, and see if he agrees that it's crap. If the newborn baby decides he likes eating crap, that must mean the baby is right and that my perception of food has changed, right?
No offense man, but the "your perception has changed" is the biggest hunk of complete bull I've ever heard. I watch the old and new Star Wars movies back to back--there is a huge and definite difference in terms of storytelling style. I play the old Zeldas and the new Zeldas back to back. There are HUGE differences in the gameplay. The games didn't just re-write themselves magically to fit my "perceptions."

and MAN i am a lotr king, i worship those book and i find it offensive when you say that they were butchered. sure they weren't as good as the books but you cant make those books directly into movies its impossible, you'd get a 30 hour movie.
And what, exactly, do you base this on? Ralph Bakshi did an LOTR movie that was more-or-less an accurate adaptation. Granted, his only covers up to the Battle of Helm's Deep (he ran out of money before he could finish it) but it told the story (and told it well, in my opinion) in about the same length of time it takes to watch Peter Jackson's first LOTR movie.
Secondly, most of the reason the books are so long is because of Tolkien's detailed descriptions, and because of dialogue. In a visual medium, the length of both would be drastically reduced--after all, it's much quicker to SHOW people a vivid landscape than it is to tell them about it, and generally when you hear people actually talking, it's much faster than reading them on a page.
There is, simply put, no basis for the "it would've been a 30 hour movie" claim.

you really need to get out more too, the entertainment industry is not butchering your childhood, they are remaking in way so that it is liked by the kids today.
That's why many of these revivals are abysmal failures, right?
Besides that, "butchering my childhood" and "making the shows I like so they appeal to kids of today" are pretty much the same thing, just one is saying it in a sugar-coated way.
