I can't stand people like this. I really lose my temper.
Thank God they kept their grubby PC-Police hands off Tolkien's works this time around, and at least we got a decent film adaption ONCE before they changed it all so everything can be politically correct.
Note: I have no problem with adaptions that go to extremes, including changing the ethnicity of characters. Akira Kurasawa's "King Lear in Ancient Japan" (Ran) was brilliant. The difference was, Shakespeare has been adapted to death by then, so such a new change was refreshing and fascinating. The difference is, changing LOTR for it's first live action film adaption would have been nothing but pandering to the politically correct hordes.
Forget people like Ophrah Winfrey and Colin Powell - 50 Cent is the salvation of American - nay, world - youth!
Some NY Councilmen (I think...or some official in NY) said something similar to this in the last month or so: Every rap singer and artist is ten times better, more important, and more inspiring that Colin Powell, Condi Rice, and others in the Federal Gov't.
Uh-huh.
Ow. My head hurts.
Anyway.... I seriously doubt this guy read the books. I don't see how he could have, because he comes across as someone who has NO IDEA what he is talking about. How pathetic.
I think J.R.R. Tolkien wouldn't have minded including people of skin color as heros in these films if he were alive today.
Wait nevermind, this definitely proves that this guy has NO IDEA what he is talking about. Case closed.
You know what really pisses me off?
You know damn well people like this guy will/would be screaming bloody murder and outrage to the high heavens at the top of their lungs if anyone even touched say, AliBaba and the Forty Thieves like they're suggesting with LOTR.
