   deviated from the books more than the first one did, and generated   
   correspondingly more frustration.)  This is obviously a matter of   
   personal taste, so it is important to be polite to those whose reaction   
   was different than yours.  In the end, Peter Jackson's own words are as   
   good a description as any: "Sure, it's not really THE LORD OF THE RINGS   
   ... but it could still be a pretty damn cool movie."   
      
      Discussing the movies on the newsgroups is certainly allowed: the   
   rec.arts.books.tolkien charter explains that "The group would be open   
   to discussion about art works which are based on Tolkien's works (e.g.   
   graphic depictions of scenes from his worlds, musical settings of his   
   ballads and poetry)."  There has been a mild effort to limit movie-only   
   discussions to alt.fan.tolkien, so that those who prefer to avoid movie   
   talk can stay in r.a.b.t, but this is less important now that   
   movie-related discussion has died down somewhat.

   4. Where can I find out about music related to Middle-earth?   
      
      Many musicians have been inspired by Tolkien's books, enough that   
   this FAQ could not hope to list them. Instead, we refer you to the   
   Tolkien Music List by Chris Seeman, at   
      
                        http://www.tolkien-music.com/   
      
   The list is organized alphabetically by artist, and the lyrics for each   
   song can be found by clicking on its title.  The artist/title list is   
   all on one page, which makes it possible to search for a title, but be   
   aware that the page is very large and may take some time to load.
