The LOTR series is a real success.
- tsotha 14y agoHow does that make Tolkein lucky? According to the LOTR producers the trilogy didn't make any money, so they don't owe the family anything.
- mitchi 14y agokeep on reading, they got their money in the end. Besides, their books were making piles of bacon
- mynameishere 14y agoStephen King didn't like Kubrick's "The Shining", one of the best book adaptations ever. People just like to complain sometimes.
- exodust 14y agoKing recently announced a sequel to the Shining, 36 years after the original. Danny is grown up and working in a care centre. All seems well, but then something from Stephen King's brain knocks at the door! I never liked the LOTR movies for the reasons described. Certain scenes are spectacular, and Gollum is cool, but that's about it for me. For a great Peter Jackson movie that suits his epic action style, try King Kong.
- enneff 14y agoI wish PKD could have lived to see Blade Runner, (the original) Total Recall, and A Scanner Darkly. He would have loved them.
- mitchi 14y agoI think too. It's funny you mention PKD because he sold Paycheck $200 and another only $2500 http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/11.12/philip.html http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/11.12/philip.html
- nikcub 14y agoPKD did see an early cut of Blade Runner, and commented that it was 'exactly as i'd imagined it', which was ironic since neither Scott nor the art and set design guys had actually read Androids. edit: Wikipedia says "given an opportunity to see some of the special effects sequences", but i'm certain that Scott says in the documentary that he showed him a complete early cut of the film
