PJ even makes action scenes       out of episodes not meant to be action. The worst offense has to be where       Saruman spins Gandalf around on a magical centrifuge. That kind of action       might belong in a James Bond movie (_Moonraker_), but not in an enchanted       Medieval world like Middle Earth. When I first saw it I knew I had been       betrayed.              Never, in the field of human entertainment, was so much invested by so many       for such a silly result.              > And, to PJ, all that stuff between Action Sequences is just filler.
