Let's just calm down now. If people didn't put up with Hollywood mediocrity, they would be forced to make better movies. And Jackson doesn't despise Tolkien, that's absurd.
Yeah, but Hollywood mediocrity has never been this powerful before. They have an infinite supply of royal flushes up their sleeves; the next five years at the movies will be as predictable as an algebra problem. Superman vs Batman: Dawn Of Justice will easily become the highest grossing film of next year in spite of being equivalent to watching newsreel footage of WWII atrocities. You thought the Rick Berman era of Star Trek was a low point? Star Trek 3 will make you pine for even the blandest episodes of Voyager and Enterprise. And it's even more absurd that you are saying Jackson doesn't hate Tolkien when he doesn't like the themes of the books? And by the end of this year alone we will all wish we were at home watching the Phantom Menace rather than The Force Awakens.
TWO OUT OF SEVEN PEOPLE, TWO OUT OF SEVEN!
