That is horrid. If I had had the sheer luck of Christopher...having goddam Tolkien for my father, hearing his bedtime stories and being in his wonderful presence for so long I would sure as hell want and give full support to the books' story being developed into quality production like the Peter Jackson movies and such. Because really, they don't dishonor the literature or make us less antsy to read the trilogy or "The Hobbit". If anything, we return radiant from the movie theater to reread our favorite chapters. Shame on Christopher!
