[Quiet Man Cometh]

The "All Things Tolkein" thread in the book forum is a good place to talk about general Tolkein stuff. The movie did come up of course, along with other topics on the stories if you're interested in that. The absence of Tom Bombadil from the movie came up, though I can't recall whether or not that was considered anything significant. As far as it was concerned for Fellowship I don't think it mattered all that much since he doesn't appear anywhere else in the three. Although, I do notice that some of his story was still there, Jackson just gave it to Treebeard instead.
