I do not think 'insulted' would be the right word, unless the movies were terrible and extremely unfaithful to the text. He may have had some misgivings, and may not have wished to see the movies himself lest someone else's interpretation of Middle-earth get muddled with his own, but I do not think it is easy to get insulted by hundreds of people devoting years of their lives to create an epic film trilogy in your honor (albeit with a motive of personal gain in their minds as well).<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Just this morning I asked myself if Tolkien would be insulted by the making of the 3 LOTR movies.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>It would probably have been much more of an affront to the Professor if they had tried to do it all in <I>one</I> live action <I>Lord of the Rings</I> film.
