    Fingers crossed it will be fine. According to the NY Times, there was a $17.5m settlement over Dukes of Hazzard in 2005, and this is going to be much more important to the studios so I imagine that they will be able to come to some resolution.

    Yeah - his attitude reminds me of the folks who complain on how badly the LoTR series translated to film while completely ignoring the extreme amount of detail Tolkien went into and that there has to be a stopping point *at least* a few hours into a movie.

    A lot of them have been very shoddy, but I think that the V for Vendetta reaction was amongst the most puzzling, as very clearly the overall message Alan was going for got conveyed in the final product.
