[QUOTE="Kai Lord, post: 1589778, member: 3570"] What a silly thing to say. I'm not saying you're silly, probably a great guy, but the sentiment of your post is just stupid. :D Some people prefer the medium of films to books for the purpose of telling a story. God knows I do. A triumph in literature is one person's vision expertly transcribed to the page. A triumph in film is one or more people's visions expressed through many different art forms; photography, writing, music, acting, editing, animation, etc. There aren't any constraints in telling a story with a novel, but there are all kinds on film (budget, special effects technology, shooting schedule, conflicting creative ideas, and so on.) Seeing the LOTR brought to life on film in the manner it was was every bit as amazing as Tolkien's original works. Your elitist attitude may keep you warm at night, but it certainly doesn't add any validity to your opinions. You're welcome to think so of course. ;) [/QUOTE]
