But Tolkien hated technology. He's all about reading books and telling stories by the fire over a glass of mead. I really don't think that he'd want anything to do with making a movie. <P>And yes, I do think the movie was too blunt; not subtle at all. But that was the ONLY way it could be. Everything was really dumbed down for the non-readers, so that they could still enjoy it and never read the books. No one would want to go and see the actual lord of the rings trilogy, except for us diehard fans.<P>I personally would have loved to see a more subtle movie, but I guess you can't get everything you want... <P>~Airetalathwen
