yuck

Dr. Douglass showed a clip from The Fellowship of the Ring in class today. I was reminded of what a terrible travesty that film was. It makes me sick. Poorly cast, melodramatic, just plain goofy, arbitrarily divergent from the book, inexplicably intentionally divergent from the book, character butchering, and soul destroying are a few of the descriptors that come quickly to mind. What a waste. What a horrible, horrible, devastating waste.
