I'm still laughing over her description of Alice:

But I am seriously surprised to see a Guardian article which modifies "complexity" with "awesome." That's like, just awesome criticism. ![]()

I quite like this article, though my focus lies elsewhere.
I am more interested in the pop vs. classics discussion. Especially academics are horrible when it comes to this, denouncing a work of art because it has a broad public appeal, yet they have no problem reading it themselves if it is more than 100 years old. . . |

The LotR reference is a classic case of Jackson trumping Tolkien - the image of the Eye is wittily described, yet has nothing whatsoever to do with the book. The latter gets bashed for something that it does not contain, but which is in the movie.
