I totally respect the journo's opinion. For one, it's probably just another 'armchiar expert' and I love these, I am one. Now understanding their mindset, I have friends who havnt read LOTR and really dont like the movies. It's a new perspective on, do we unknowingly think that the movies are good becuse we have read the books and know the books? Porbably not, the movies were good, but that is one of the things you have to allow for opinions.

What i really hate is when a journo will write an artice with wrong facts, like in the Courier Mail, (Brisbane Aust.) last year a journo called Des Partridge made 14 mistakes in his feature. Now surely one would think you would check this stuff before sending it off to the printing press eh? Well i go thim back at the Australian Premiere of Peter Pan, where i found him and pointed out to him the mistakes... he was an old codger so he didnt abuse me for doing so, but he was embarassed all the same.

My aunt ont he other hand is an entertainment journo and sent me her feature for fact checking before it went to press, now there is a smart journo. I mean this Des Partridge guy could have found someone who would have known about LOTR, even the guy in the mail room.

I guess we will just never suss out these ill learned journos.
