This morning, Nickelodeon interiewed Peter Jackson, the director of cult film Lord Of The Rings. Here is a transcript of the interview.
Presenter: Hello Pete.
Jackson: Hello.
Presenter: What made you make this film?
Jackson: Well, there's a real lack of "magic" films in the market at the moment, and I thought it was about time that something was done about it.
Presenter: Was it difficult to stay faithful to the book? Was there a lot of pressure to keep it faithful to the book?
Jackson: I don't think you can actually stay faithful to the book. Obviously, it depends on what your definition of faithful is, because everybody would have a different sense. I think we were faithful in many different ways. I think we were faithful to the tone of the book and the spirit of the book. I think we were faithful to the main sort of plot of the book. What we couldn't do was we couldn't include all of the detail and all of the secondary events and secondary characters that Tolkein put in his book. We had to stick to the main storyline which was Frodo and the ring, his journey with the ring, what the ring does to him and how it affects the people and we sort of focused on that as being the the thing, the engine that drove the movie if you like. So, if there were events in the book or characters in the book that weren't strictly related to the "Frodo and the ring" story we tended to leave them out.

Yes, I was unfortunate enough to be subjected to hours and hours of Nickelodeon this morning, thanks to my little 13 year old sister! I liked it at her age, but I've grown way out of that tripe now - not that I don't mind the occasional Saved By The Bell episode here and there or anything that isn't a cartoon!
Cult? Excuse me?
I had a gut feeling that it was a mistake putting that down - I just thought that it might spice this dysmal post up. "Cult" is the wrong word, "popular" is the word I was looking for. I was bored, so I posted something - sue me!
