Damn, Windsor, that's harsh. I liked 'em all. Got the DVDs of
the extended versions to prove it -- except for ROTK, of course,
but that's just a matter of time. And I've read The Hobbit and
the trilogy two or three times. Jackson may not have improved on
the story, but I don't think it hurt it much either.
And while we're talking about the Oscars -- I thought Bill Murray
should've gotten the best actor award. But, although I don't
agree with some of his off-screen activities, Sean Penn is
probably the greatest talent in the biz today, so that award for
him wasn't really undeserved.
Just one ignorant redneck's opinion. :-)
