saw it last night and laughed my ass off. i loved it, faithfulness to the source material be damned.
actually, i'm glad i didn't read the books again before going in, since the ten years or so between now and the last time i read them made me blissfully ignorant of whatever butchery may (or may not) have been being committed before my very eyes.
last time i re-read a book before i went into a movie was return of the king, and that was one of the worst movie-experiences of my entire life precisely because i was so painfully, excruciatingly aware of what, to me, was an unmitigated massacre of a text i loved so dearly.
but whatever. sam rockwell needs to do more comedy. fuck, he's funny. pardon my french.
