I'm not defending what he did, all I'm saying is that there were reasons behind the cutting. I love Tom as much as everyone else who read the books.
I know, I know, no accusations toward you here :jester:

Cutting out one of the most jolly and carefree Tolkien characters? Some fan. A 20 minute scene would've probably been fine, especially since he felt the need to "flesh out" the Hobbit "trilogy" with a bunch of nonsense that isn't even in Tolkien (Tauriel, white orc, etc).
If Tom had been included, the 1st LOTR movie wouldn't have sold as many tickets and the trilogy might not have been finished.  Many people aren't LOTR fans, so the movies have to appeal to everyone.  A 20 minute scene of Tom would've bogged the film down and confused many.  A film has to make $, let's not forget.

"That Old Black Magic", Funny! :laugh1::laugh1:

But sadly "Now imagine trying to turn LOTR and The Hobbit into musicals......" has been done:


Save us! Oh the humanity, Dwarfdom and Elfdom!

Are you talking about an audio dramatization of LOTR (i.e. an audio book)?  I heard some of these were made in the 70s/80s but never listened to them.  I would listen if you have links.
I see that Youtube has pulled down much original Tolkien stuff. I will have to upload content to Dropbox in the next few days and provide links. :cowboy:

I sent this to my sister, who is a big LOTR fan and musical fan, and her reply was "Clearly they put a lot of work into this and I'm usually a fan of musicals, but that is one adaptation that should never have occurred."
