And, in addition, I can declare the movies to be commercial pap, bad adaptations, and unworthy of the original.
It doesn't bother me in the least that "nobody in the film industry with any power or influence" cares about making art. It does bother me that in their tinsel hypocrisy they pretend to; and that bounders like Peter Jackson feel compelled to spin a line of BS about how 'faithful' they are being yadda yadda yadda. A little honesty would be appreciated here: they did it to make a fast buck.
