Something about this discussion of the rights of Mr. Christopher Tolkien and the filming of his father's stories reminds me of the debate in "The Council of Elrond." <P>How ironic that a story created to establish a mythology illustrating and celebrating the need for forgiveness, faith, companionship, and Love has, in the hands of "vox populi" become instead an excuse for condemnation, mistrust, and factionalism. <P>Makes me want to go read the book . . . again.
