...worse habit than just about any other campus epidemic I can think of right now. Much worse than using “and by X you mean Y” jokes on a regular basis. Possibly more damaging than having a “novelty” ring tone (Justin Timberlake songs don’t count) which goes off in the middle of lecture, and then answering it. Much more heinous than deliberately avoiding the well-meaning pamphleteers outside the Science Center by taking the long route round to the side entrance. It is a crime worse than...

Indeed, longtime Jackson admirers kept waiting for the Ring cycle to spin off into Dead Alive delirium. That didn't happen. The old films could be anarchic; the trilogy had to be conservative. Jackson's duty, as he saw it, was to make a faithful translation of Middle-earth--a kind of transmedial cloning. His triumph was to oversee a production as mammoth...
