[color=#000000ost_uid0]I haven't read the books in years, but I think Peter Jackson did all right. Relatively speaking. So where [iost_uid0]was[/iost_uid0] Tom in the movies, anyway? :S

I'm not saying that a movie "based" on a book will always be horrible ([iost_uid0]Willie Wonka[/iost_uid0] was enjoyable, and it didn't even have the same title as the book), I'm saying that feature-length movies (Rikki-tikki-tavi does not count ) always mess around with the plot, characters, and anything else the people in charge can think of. Or close to always. Enough to get me ticked off at them. Something like that.[/colorost_uid0]
