And I could run around calling people "Groveller" and do horrible genetic experiments with Uruk-hai and Ur-Viles, and all sorts of nasty stuff. It'd be awesome. I might even break the Arch of Time! Goody!

You know, I'd buy one of those myself and one for my wife.Myste wrote:I just want the Genuine Replica WhiteGold™ Ring with "Hellfire and Bloody Damnation" etched on it in the language of the Old Lords.
And when she asks me what the symbols mean I'd tell her it was a beautiful and romantic marriage saying written in Old English.
(Hey, before you bash me remember she's got one too!)

I think you all take this whole movie situation way too seriously. Movies are an entirely different medium than books thats the beauty of it. If in the worst case the movies if ever made turn out bad well then so what we will still have ten perfectly crafted books we can revisit. And if it turns out good then we'll have a terrific movie of our favourite book. It can't be stopped, a movie will be made and there is already a lot of interest in a movie being made. I for one have faith at least that if there is a movie made it will be made by competent people who understadn the material. A TC movie wouldn't have to follow the typical Hollywood movie format. There are hundreds of movies made in Hollywood and outside of it that are very unique adn interesting.

Sorry.

Nope. Don't trust Sci-Fi (oh so many reasons). If you doubt me, talk to LeGuin. Showtime, maybe.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”
