[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 5770309, member: 9037"] Bad camera ala shaky cam makes movies unwatchable for me because they make me physically ill so I will never agree that it makes for fantastic film making. I wish it would die in a fire. I struggled through the books and I didn't feel anything but relief that it was over. Now the impact those novels have had on the genre has been huge. A lot of fantasy writers wrote LOTR type stories. You can see its influence on DnD. I don't think it would make a difference to the judges even if they had seen this because back in 1961 SF was considered the ghetto of literature. There was a reason Kurt Vonnegut whose novels are SF didn't want them called that. And there are people today who still look down their noses at it. Though happily SF and fantasy are getting more respect today and not consider something that just geeks and nerds read in their parent basement. [/QUOTE]
