Hey Carl don't get me wrong I LOVED the Star Wars Trilogy. Just haven't seen the last one. As far as film goes it's tough to beat. Wonderful story well told. I don't think for a minute that Lord of the Rings would translate as well to film neither would "Stranger in a Strange Land" which is my favorite sci-fi book to date, quite religious in its overtones. But then again I haven't read a good Sci-fi book in a while. Hear the Dune series is great. Sorry Fpeel I stand corrected. The Tolkein books are indeed fantasy. What is so absolutely amazing to me about them is the language created. It was quite an experience when I read these books almost 30 years ago and they stand out to me as among the great works of literature of the 20th Century. Star Wars I agree is a cultural phenomenom and Carl I assure you, it's appeal isn't limited to the Xers. As a matter of fact I was still in my 20's when Star Wars was first released in 1977 and btw what does any of this have to do with music. Oh yeah, I love the Williams score.
Best reviewers
Who are in your opinion the best reviewers out there ? Whether it be from stereophile, TAS or an audio forum, you surely have a few reviewers that you trust and respect. I nominate Robert E. Greene from The Absolute Sound as the best reviewer. He understands live music, knows how to describe what he hears, and appears to be impartial. Your choice ?
