Who cares what the Academy thinks!

Rating: 10/10 (16 January 2002)

As far as I am concerned, the last thing on my mind is whether or not the American Academy recognises LOTR as a "great" film. Let them keep their mediocre 'Star Wars','Titanic' and 'Pearl Harbour' - they are welcome to them.
For all Tolkien fans, this is our Precious, not theirs; a lasting testimony to the great man's ambivalence to Disney-like dumbing down in all of its manifestations. 10 out of 10 Mr. Jackson for bringing the greatest dream ever written to the big screen.
