Hi Olivant and Sonny_Black,

I am afraid I am one of the new additions to the board.In my defense I saw the first 2 movies at least once a year in the past 15 years and 3 times over one week this summer (that is why I am here) plus I read the book over the summer several times. (My parents are fans what can I say)
But I have to say one of the reasons I registered to this board was that people seemed to be very intelligent and extremely civilized. Truly a quality difference from many other sites on the net.
Please allow newbies(me included) to make mistakes, for whatever reason(!!). For one I am enjoying the movie more/ read the book again after these conversations. It is very interesting to see other people's viewpoint! Thank you for all your inputs.
