[QUOTE="aarondhgraham, post: 2534545, member: 13337"] I'm gonna shake his hand and say,,, "Nice job on King Kong!" Then I'm gonna slap him to his knees and say,,, "And that's for what you did to the Lord of the Rings!" <RANT> I've read those books at least once every two years since 1970,,, He took some of the most beautiful literature ever penned,,, And turned it into a video game action travesty. I have never seen any movie adaptation that was true to the original book,,, So I don't go into them with any great expectations,,, But what Peter Jackson did to "The Trilogy",,, Was nothing short of literary butchery. The only thing that Paul Verhoeven got correct in Starship Troopers,,, Was the connection of military (or some type) of service,,, Being tied to you being a "citizen" who could vote. I mean,,, Mobile Infantry wore powered armor suits. </RANT> Aarond . [/QUOTE]
