[Darkside]

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> I think deep down all of us realize/fear that the movies will be seen as *truth* by the people who don't bother to read the book, who are (let's face it) probably most of the people who see the movies. For most people it then becomes a replacement for the book and drowns out the voice of the original. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Thanks Lily! I think that is one of the main things that "angers" me the most about these films. I don't want the masses to assume that what they are seeing is what Tolkien wrote. The movies fall far short of the grandness of his story.
