Reservations
I dunno. I was poking around online when I found this.
Years ago, when Fellowship of the Ring came out, I was pretty eager to see it, just so that I could finally understand what the hell went on in the books. I'd read them in my teen years (oh so long ago) and I have to agree with Jason that J.R.R. Tolkien can't write worth a shit. But when I got out of the movie theater that first movie, I thought to myself, "It would have been better if they'd done a Dragonlance movie instead."
Well, looks like that's exactly what they're doing. Unfortunately, it's going to be animated, so I feel that it's being robbed of something. Like people aren't going to see it as a much better series than Lord of the Rings just because no production company is going to shill out the millions of dollars to make it a live action movie. But they'll make a Transformers movie that is live-action. Can someone explain this to me, please?
Anyway, all in all, I guess I am looking forward to it, but I think they may have wanted to wait a year or two. However, I will have to go to GenCon next year for certain, if anything to get the authors takes on the whole movie adeptation thing. I met them four years ago and still can't get over how kind and open they were. I also can't believe how suddenly I went from Mild-mannered Jon to frothing-at-the-mouth fanboy Jon around them. Next time, I promise to keep my shit together.
Also, I guess I'm gonna have to pick up the new book that's out this month since it's out and I have nothing else to read since I just re-read the War of Souls trilogy.
In other news, I'm broke and it sucks. I'm still waiting to hear word on when I have a check coming my way from the lawyers. If I'm lucky, it'll be sometime this year.
