Seeing the film was similar to seeing an old friend who has aged rather poorly. You can see the structure of their face and how they looked when you knew them before but there is a layer of something alien shrouding them and distorting the picture.
I shall continue to create my own pictures; but I confess to have been affected by the images I saw on the screen.

My sentiments exactly... although my images were never that visual, I had rather clear idea how the scene should sound, what impact it should have... kind of hard to explain, but even harder to keep the movie out of it. My images have grown with me (first read LotR when I was like 9, the first movie came out when I was 17 I think) and it's really sad when instead of them Elijah or someone else pops up in my head reading a passage. :/
