I can't get over how much this statement points the finger back at the individual who typed it. This thread is seriously done.

I'm sure you're the only one who didn't understand the reasoning behind that.
oh i understood the reasoning, however i was saying using such an extreme example doesnt help you.

Just like "Four legs good, two legs bad" I'll wager.
i dont think anyone understood the relevence of that statement. i know what your saying but what does that have to do with changing perception.

But they're both adaptations of the same book. Saying I can't compare them is like saying I can't compare Street Fighter II to Street Fighter III.
your right you can compare them however you cant say one is better then the other because they were done in different times. it would be like comparing the modern version of Antigone to the sophocles version they were done in different times and with different mind one is not nessarily better then the other. But the bottem line as i said before is that bakshi's version wasnt complete. so we don't know how good/bad of a adaption it could have been.

Considering that the extended versions of the PJ films run for something like nine hours altogether, I think I could've put up with some extra material. I still don't think that estimate is correct, however.
ok so how long would your versions be. how much time would you need to put the entire trilogy on film unedited, and uncut.

Of course not. That's why the theatrical versions were severely shortened.
exactly that is why certain changes had to be made to the movie, to make it flow. to bring tolkiens expansive books into and intensive storyline. i be the first one to say that i wasnt please with the amount he added liv tyler into the mix, and how he used elves at helms deep rather then the rangers, but if PJ had used all of the characters that were suposed to be used he would have had to use alot of screen time to explain them. the changes that he made were his and they had reason behind them.

I'm sure they wouldn't like it if I made an 80s-style version of Yu-Gi-Oh.
I'm sure they would care if you make an 80s version of Yu Gi Oh, however no one would watch it so... you'd never see that happen.
