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.

Comparing what is bound to be a soulless piece of crap with historical film footage of educational value?

 I only made that comparison in the first place because Zack Snyder put facist undertones in Man Of Steel. I didn't resort to Godwin's law out of a whim.

*sigh* Now I'm forced to use a meme from the Nolan Batman films, and I hate referencing those movies.

Films are an art and therefore film maker should be first and foremost an artist. A true artist follows his/her vision with disregard to popularity and people's tastes. A film maker who makes stuff in a way so that people will like it is not an artist but a salesman or an attention whore.

So, seeing as Lucas cut down on Jar Jar's screentime with each prequel as a result of negative public opinion on the character, does that make him an artist or a salesman?

But to stay on topic, didn't Peter Jackson do to the Hobbit what Orci and Kurtzman did to Star Trek, turning thought provoking works into mindless action schlock? Is anyone afraid that Jackson could spend the rest of his life butchering the rest of Tolkien's work in the same vein?

If someone butchers something you love, you butcher them right back -- through art!
