<BR> Re: New Zealand</b><br><br> after reading over the older postings on this topic, I must say that I admireBilboFrodo's 6/1 <br> post that he won't see it as it wil only interfere w/ his impressions of the book.Of course he can always change his mind if every one of his friends tell him it's the best thing since say - Unfinished Tales: ] . I think honouring one's relationship to the books <br> esp. after sooooo many bad movie adaptations make's a certain sense.<br> Star Wars {forgive my mentioning it here to those whom it might offend} was lucky in that it preceded all of the many, many books that have since come out and the deep impressions caused by the movie allow one to read the later books w/ far greater sense of realism than the writings or plot often deserves! so - even though I will prob. go see it . I would be very unlikely to want tosee it so much that it alters my relationship w/ the books.{assuming they don't do an incredible A- or better job}. <p></p><i>Edited by <A HREF=http://www.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_profile&u=00000076>lindil</A> at: 7/23/00 7:22:26 am<br></i>
