Are the movies a good or bad thing?

[the Lorien wanderer]

<BR> Re: Are the movies a good or bad thing?</b><br><br> Durelen...what I'm worried about is not people's ideas clashing with mine. What I'm worried about is that all those who see the LOTR movie will then have a fixed image of Middle earth. Then, when they read the book, they won't be able to see Fangorn and Gandalf and Lorien the way you and I have. <br> And it won't stay confined to the movie. Remember the tacky little Gandalfs with McDonald happy meals? <p>Not all those who wander are lost.</p>
