J.R.R. Tolkien -- enemy of progress ?

[Manwe Sulimo]

And comparing George Lucas to Tolkien to me is like comparing Teletubbies to Templars.

I pity you. I really do.

Now i'm not saying that Lucas is as good as Tolkien, it's just sorta like comparing....I don't know....

Damn. Can't think of a good analogy that would be universally accepted. Let's just say, while Star Wars isn't the best, it's pretty good in itself.

As for the columnist, I think he's on crack (ha! how about that for political correctness!). Not just because of this article, but because of other ones he's written...don't even ask.
