I enjoy PJ’s work on bringing The Professor’s epic to life.

Can you imagine the howls of rage if Tim Burton tried this? Or Emmerich? They don’t have the faithful vision to Tolkien that PJ has shown.

Thank you, Professor Tolkien, for leaving us a world to explore. And thank you, Peter, for giving it color and movement.

[Tolkien]

You’re welcome.

I first read Tolkien in 1965. I re-read the four books again in ‘67. I had always been if the belief that they could never be successfully translated into a cinematic experience.

I couldn’t be happier being wrong.

(Now if someone could just do an equivalent job on “Dune.”)
