here's my two cents...and seeing that everyone else have made their points so eloquently and many shar my views, my two cents will be small. anyway, i think the movies were a good idea because so many people who knew nothing of LOTR of Tolkien now know that they exist and will become curious about them...curious enough to maybe pick up a copy. and even though PJ's vision may not be many Tolkienists ideals, doesnt mean the movie isn't gonna be good. i personally, feel that PJ is doing a great job of making these movies from what i've seen so far, because most of what i've seen comes freakishly close to what i envisioned. granted this will not be the case for all Tolkienists, but not all fans will choke on their popcorn. im looking forward to the 19th...i've already picked out the perfect spot outside the movie theater for my tent...lembas anyone?
