Tolkien estate apparently did not like the movies. So we must needs wait for the copyright expiration before we can expect the movie of Berenice and Lúthien, the woman who entered Sauron’s tower full of werewolves and vampires. So , what’s that, 1973+70 years? 90 years? More!? Ask yourself: do you want copyright to be extended? Fuck that shit.
@kensanata I am surprised anyone liked the movies
@kara I could spend hours looking at Jackson’s pictures. It’s a different beast, of course. But if a movie is just like the books, it wasn’t worth the effort. So I’m not opposed to different interpretations and I enjoy the variations. I played on the Elendor MUSH for a while and that was also very unlike the books. The point is not whether anybody likes it but whether we need permission in the first place. And I hate the begging and paying for permission.
