One Ding-a-ling to rule them all...

Peter Jackson will surely burn in hell for his sacrilege. I don't need to put in the particulars here; many hundreds of others have pointed out Jackson's screw-ups. It's not that he diddled with the plot, but that he added things that made no sense. He spent time on story lines that were not in the book, and left out things that would not have taken up any more time, and would have made a better story (by sticking to the book!). Now, I'm not one of those who slavishly worships St. Tolkien....there were better writers out there...check out "THE KING OF ELFLAND'S DAUGHTER" by Lord Dunsany sometime...but no one, and I mean NO ONE could tell a story like ol' J.R.R...and that goes especially for Peter Jackson.
