I just think if he had really read the books he would see that Tolkien was heavily influenced by Christianity, in a beautiful and innovative way.

He’s gonna be real surprised when the announcement is made about alien life.

Forbidding things usually increases their glamour!

Ah True.

A lot of critics just seek out the “bad” in things with no regard for the good, or refuse to look at the big picture of the work as a whole.

Ex: The Balrogs look devilish so this must be an Evil movie - purge your homes of any wicked Blurays my people.
