He made every detail as authentic as possible, eg. making everything from scratch with who made it and what purpose it served in mind.  If you disagree with PJ and say his interpretation is cheap, you also disgree with his team of scriptwriters, tolkien experts and others who all have a very solid grip of the material.  So was everyone involved just a big idiot and you know how it's done?They are definately forging ahead, having an attention to detail and depth and generally doing things never done before (at least on this scale).  I don't see your point here, unless your point is that it wasn't groundbreaking enough.what.  So are you now saying PJ was faithful to the book and thus committed artistic suicide, or is this just some tangent about industry-saavy you are?  I disagree if you think PJ has none of his own spin in the movie (as well as the other writers).I agree this might spawn off some ill-conceived movies that ruin otherwise good books.  Hopefully though in the inevitable onslaught of fantasy adaptations, one or two of them will do a decent job.  And no offense but from the sound of it, you'll never be satisifed with a movie adaptation of a book.  Sometimes you have to accept that it will only be so good.Too late, I already am.</blockquote>
