maybe Tolkien never wrote a plan for the book and just wrote what came to his mind.... xTx  |

no he had a plan, it's just that when he messed up, in stead of fixing just what was wrong he rewrote the whole thing again, that's why it took him 12 years to write LotR

If Tolkien saw what PJ had done to his books, he would have PJ's head on his mantel piece
he would be horrified, he never wanted them to turn into a movie

he actually sold the movie (well cartoon rights) when he was alive, but got furious when they decided in the movie that they wanted the main characters to ride around on eagles the whole movie (yes this is true, ecourage you all to read the Humphrey Carter Biolography of Tolkien (it's the only authorized edition))

lol That is so messed up! Well, then he wouldn't hate PJ's version too much because PJ has a reason for his changes. Well, most of them anyway.

Tolkien is a perfectionist, he would have wanted everything perfect or not at all (that's why it took him so long to write the book, he restarted it each time he messed up.)

and if I made to many I would probably lose my deterimation and give up
We are lucky Tolkien didn't do that, I couldn't imagine a world without LotR
