[QUOTE="sabrinathecat, post: 6230196, member: 89838"] No, it means that you recognize it and understand the significance of the concept, and the value of it within the art. I think the book deserves a good movie adaptation. The important word being "Good". One that is honest and faithful to the source material. All of it. In this regard, the existing movie failed. Disney has no problem with firing people for expressing ideas (like the founder of Pixar), why should they worry about firing one director, or telling him he's wrong. They have all the $$$. They can do what they want. Disney Corp is a giant monster within the industry: nearly a monolith. No one is going to stand up to them and say "no" or not be willing to work for them if they tease with a job offer and some $. At this point, I have to ask: Are you deliberately baiting? The sentence clearly says that it was the CHANGES OF STAFF in both Marketing (pfft) and PRODUCTION that were to blame, not the marketing campaign. (Granted, the marketing (what little I saw of it) did not do a good job--$$$/=quality) All fantasy novels are about farmers going on quests to rescue princesses with their magical mcguffin powers? And you say you've read some of the 80s/90s D&D books? Are you sure? Those two statements show that one view or the other is not correct. And the Fantasy genre has evolved since the 1930s.
