Yeah! J.R.R. Tolkien sold out for money! These last 2 movies don’t even approach the greatness of LOTR. Instead of a story and moral lessons all we have is ADHD action!

You know, I don’t know HOW well JRRT did...

But I know his friendship with C.S. Lewis informed them both (read http://www.christianitytoday.com/ch/news/2003/aug29.html?start=1). I also understand they were contemporaries with other writing legends and went to salons where they would practice debates on a wide variety of subjects.

What a golden age that was!
