This is in response to Aftiel of the Twilight's post saying that the story of the Lord of the Rings is better in movie form than in book form.<P>Nonsense and blasphemy! A story so richly detailed, so consistent and well founded, and so full of wonderful and intricate characters and dialogue, is impossible to convey in movie form. Anyone who thinks LOTR in movie form is better than LOTR books is seriously misguided and completely lacking in imagination. <P>Only bad books, plays, and dialogue heavy books can entertain the hope of becoming greater when done in movie form, and the Lord of the Rings isn't any of those.<P>I have no leniency for such ignorance and therefore will not waste anymore of my time addressing such a preposterous position.
