Most of the posts seem to be about LeGuin's reaction to the ethnic bleaching of her work, but what about the complete bastardization of her story? Earthsea is a classic because it is provactive, intelligent, and insightful story telling. Frankly I'm surprised that the sci-fi channel, which one would hope would be a bastion of smart entertainment, gave the thumbs up to the bullshit hollywoodization of a classic sci-fi/fantasy story. That seems like a formula for disaster rather than success. I mean, if it's mindless entertainment people want, they'll watch pro wrestling or nascar instead of science fiction. LeGuin's term 'McMagic' is particularly apt.
