Good grief!

The next time anyone complains about how badly PJ messed up The Lord of the Rings, I'll tell them to take a look at what Sci-Fi did to Wizard of Earthsea. At least PJ had some respect for JRRT, in spite of some liberties; but poor Ursula K. LeGuin--they took her lyrical and mystical tale and turned it into a cliche ridden excuse for a video game! UGH!

As much as I gripe about this or that liberty that PJ took, at least I could recognize the story I loved in his film. The only thing last night's travesty had in common with the book, that I could see, was a few names. Why didn't they admit they were making up their own story? Anyone who might have been drawn to watch it by their love of the books would have been far too disgusted to enjoy it.
