Thanks Diamond. You're right, there are some excellent and thoughtful posts on that thread. I am with Mr Platypus, in the main - I think the whole obsession with 'character development' is a bit childish and Movie-Making 101.<BR>Tolkien broke every rule in publishing with LOTR, but he proved the 'how to write a bestselling book' experts wrong, didn't he. I wish PJ had done the same to the Blockbuster Rulebook. The films are great, yes, but they could have been *really* great.
