It doesn't bother me in the least that "nobody in the film industry with any power or influence" cares about making art.
Where did you get that from? I hope you are not going to say it came from me. I said its a business first and art second. To say that nobody in the film industry with any power or influence does not care abotu making art is NOT what I said.
I notice that you use quotes around parts of the phrase and then make the rest up to suit your purposes. Is that fair?

It does bother me that in their tinsel hypocrisy they pretend to; and that bounders like Peter Jackson feel compelled to spin a line of BS about how 'faithful' they are being yadda yadda yadda. A little honesty would be appreciated here: they did it to make a fast buck.
If they made it to make a fast buck they certainly took quite a convoluted, complex and highly risky road to get there. And with a film property that up until that time was box office poison and thought my many to be unfilmable by its own author. Fast buck indeed!!!!

And besides..... making a buck ... is that not the decision JRRT himself made when he sold the film rights?
