Snarking, heehee! Well, I usually can't resist muttering "Thank you, Captain Obvious" practically any time Legolas opens his mouth. (Poor Orlando! No matter how hard they tried, he still got stuck being a watchdog, mostly.) But there's a difference (to me, at least) between MSTing, which can be done to any film no matter how good, and the kind of mean-spirited ripping I see at TORn. There's a haughtiness about the criticisms there that often admits to no worth for opinions other than their own. I wish there'd been a board for discussion of the films that was positive, and that didn't allow for any bashing of this sort. My enjoyment of the films was often tainted with shock or sadness at how cavalier a lot of those people were towards the feelings of those who see these films as a gift. *sigh* I suppose it was my own fault for continuing to go there...
