I was a fan of Peter Jackson's before LOTR - I actually first saw 'The Frighteners' which I think is an undervalued gem (albeit, set in the U.S but filmed in NZ) and then went back and watched the back catalogue. Heavenly Creatures is amazing.

I do like LOTR though - I loved the books and I think that is about as good an adapatation as is possible from Hollywood. I think there is a different feel about that trilogy though that is very un-hollywood. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about The Hobbit Trilogy which feels like it is all green screen.
the best thing is the Wellington and surrounding scenery...otherwise, yeah, its a yawn.

I bought a 2nd hand copy of The Dark tower for 50p, i read the hell out of it and then later on found out it was a 2nd print and quite rare. From that moment it has prime place on my book shelf.
I was devasted to come home one day to find our 8 month old puppy had created confetti with it! Out of all my books this was the one he had chosen to destroy. In fact the only thing ever apart from his toys and footballs! Sods law eh? Xx
