<BR> Re: Are the movies a good or bad thing?</b><br><br> Yes, they will rock, no matter how many small and not-so-small discrepancies there are, have faith that they will fit, and they will not be doing anything so blatantly stupid as a big-game hunter shipping a Balrog to LA or New York where it gets loose and plays Godzilla/King Kong. Take courage. I think a little bit of this discussion is just the human tendency to look on the negative side. (But who am I, Freud? Excuse me while I get off my high horse...)<br> <br> I have a deep sense of nostalgia about Happy Meals, but only in those boxes. Bags are cheap. <br> <br> Something I've been thinking about lately is how <i> Tolkien</i> felt/would feel about the movies. In his essay, &quot;On Fairy-Stories,&quot; he says that &quot;Drama is naturally hostile to Fantasy.&quot; And someone early in this thread said something about not in his lifetime...? <p><i>The days are fated to be filled with marvels.</i></p>
