I once won a stupid kewpie prize at a fair that was an image of The Beatles' Rubber Soul album cover laminated to some cheapass particle board. Upon getting it home, I took a compass & marked a circle on the front of it, then divided the perimiter into twelfths, drilled a hole through the center & carved out the back to attach a clock mechanism. My Beatles Rubber Soul clock still hangs in my bathroom.
The greatest thing about Jackson's LOTR trilogy is the amount of respect he & everyone else involved had for Tolkien's original text. When you look at other books-made-film, you see that this is indeed a rarity. Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy comes to mind here. That film would have sucked a whole lot less if those involved had given a pair of fetid dingo's kidneys about Douglas' original writings.
