Comments on: Tolkien Vs. New Line Cinema http://writerunboxed.com/2008/02/13/tolkien-vs-new-line-cinema/ About the craft and business of genre fiction Mon, 13 Oct 2008 17:17:21 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.4 by: Michelle http://writerunboxed.com/2008/02/13/tolkien-vs-new-line-cinema/#comment-60074 Wed, 13 Feb 2008 19:16:19 +0000 http://writerunboxed.com/2008/02/13/tolkien-vs-new-line-cinema/#comment-60074 Kathleen, sadly i have not read your books( im into love magic and a break from reality),and am new to the site. I found your comments on Juliets site rather fascinating, and was inspired to read your thoughts, you seem outspoken and colourful in thought. Regarding new line vs tolkien, I have to ask the following.... I have read attonement, a fabulous novel, and a sure "heart string puller" and when i heard of the movie review, I did not wish to see the movie, fear of ruining the book and the writers talent. Similarly I read Eragon, and was sorely disappointed at the movie representation. How do movie themes and writes work together to get it write for those people who do not read? Regarding online, and the advent of the net, for me the beauty of reading is holding a book, not sitting behind a pc to read chapters, yet I guess through the net one can get a feel for the writers style, if it communicates to the reader , and in so doing prompts purchase. Sadly I am just a reader, not a knowledgeable guru as the comments seem to indicate, but I would appreciate your view regardless.
