In other words - have you ever considered the effect the movie will have on those thousands of moviegoers that have not read the book. After you have seen the movie I think it will be very hard to be able to create your own images of both caracters and landscape. For instance I think that the seminanimated movie for the late seventies (poor though it was) is one of the main reasons that I see Balrogs with wings. <P>None or very few of us have yet seen the new movie - but i judge that it will, wether we like it or not, have tremendous effect even on those of us who have pretty "rock steady" images in our heads. <P>Im only writhing because I truly feel sorry for those who haven't read the books before seeing the movie. <P>They will never have the oppotunity to let their fear see the hroa of the caracters before their eyes do
