Putting in my own two cents here; PJ won the 'Best Director' Oscar, which GL didn't. So that's what the Academy thinks...

Yes I do, he's charismatic and funny while at the same time, withdrawn and introverted. His sexuality and mental issues just add to his persona (in a positive way)

Cheesy....We all tend to agree that bookshops and libraries shouldn't jam Sci Fi and Fantasy together, they're completely apposite ends of the story tree (though there has been a few successful morphs, HeMan comes to mind) so how can you compare two very different directors, with completely different ways of telling a story. Gorge Lucas has been round a lot longer than PJ, and has had a lot of experience, but you cannot deny than PJ and long with his wife Fran and co script writer Phillipa Boynes make a good team. It all comes down to personal preference, personally I prefer PJ, the first 3 SW were OK but the last 3 didn't do it for me at all.

Actually, I agree that the last 4 Star wars films are too SFX based (even though one is animated), and george lucas has also ruined Indiana Jones (Aliens?!). You win.
But the Star Wars films are better than the LOTR Trilogy.
I have been to a few pantomimes, and seen 4 school productions, but thats it.
Next agrees that casting someone who can't act or sing as the main character in a school play, just because she is ginger is stupid.
Because this is what happened when my primary school did 'Annie'.
I have nothing against ginger people, but the fact they casted her because she was ginger was just dumb IMO.

Well, Surivan, saying which films are better is just a matter of opinion. I personally prefer the LotR films, since I feel they have a deeper plot and storyline than Star Wars, as well as having that sense of visual and audial masterpiece that Star Wars had for it's time but doesn't now. Anyway, they are still both great films.
If she was cast solely for her hair colour, I suppose that might have been a bit biased, but I'm sure she has some level of acting ability!
Next sometimes spends long periods of time in the woods or other natural places.

She couldn't act for her life though.
I cycle through a wood thing to get to school, and spend a lot of time on fields playing rugby, so yeah.

In one of eight apartments in a single building; in a complex that has A through M similar buildings that are hidden away amongst the Red Cedar, Vine Maple, and Douglas Fir trees, and I'm one-half mile from the main drag, so it is mostly quiet, except for the occasional emergency vehicle.
Oops, wrong question, I forgot I had to back up a page to read all of today's posts and then forgot to come back here.
No, I used to drive; then I started taking a cab to work; now I am riding in a wheel chair taxi, but am trying to get signed up to the county's transit access program, which will come to my door and be much less expensive.
Can you see a tree via your living room window?

I can, the neighbours across have one next to their drive, I don't know it's name, but it hangs over on the pavement. Quite a few are along the road, different ones too.

Getting prescriptions for Grandpa and groceries and cooking dinner. The dogs and rabbits would say otherwise, I'm sure.

I tried it with my original Kindle and it worked; though it was very time consuming: each website screen took four Kindle pages. I tried with my newer Kindle2, just now and it took me 15 minutes to log in and vote for P-T in the top 100: We now have 88 votes, up from the 87 when I voted today on my PC. I imagine the iPad might be faster, while the iPhone might be even slower due to the smaller screen size.

Cheesy, what I meant by the above question is what Tolkien would have thought about the films if he had lived to see them, not how he would have made them. So:

Person Below, answer the question the person above asked.
IMHO JRR Tolkien would have thought PJ and company took too much license and departed from the story too much. He would have specifically complained about Arwen taking Glorfindel's part in FotR; about the Elven warriors at Helm's Deep in TTT; and about the portrayal of Faramir in RotK.

I think It would most likely be in 2013. I wish they would stop arguing this way and that and start shooting. There are so many people out there who want to view it.

Yes, absolutely! Though it would have to be a smaller role or perhaps just an extra, as I'm not that good at remembering lines.

I'm actually travelling there for three weeks this December, and I'm so excited! Hopefully they will have started shooting the Hobbit by then, so I can go to Matamata (the Shire).
