Just a comment on the Chicane Cartoon in your last Thursday’s edition.
The Hobbit Trilogy and John Key have surely darkened Sir Peter Jackson’s Name.
A bunch of Ugly stuff went on to get the Movies made here and the result was disappointing
To the Art-form and to Tourism.
Full marks to Sir Peter for Building the 2nd Hobbiton Set to last, and Sir Richard for upgrading the Weta Cave
But they did little service to the country with the Scenic Locations this last time around.
They recycled some from the LotR Films or butchered others so badly with editing & computers as to make them useless.
They also avoided accessible or Iconic New Zealand Landmarks that could have done with the exposure.
More computer generation meant less work for Real Craftsmen, Writers and Artisans.
And less real scenery meant Less future tourism jobs, even the music score was weak compared to LotR.
I have to say, our light-weight leaders should have negotiated for “windfalls” instead of Crushing the Actors Union, and looting our Coffers.
However, Sirs Peter and Richard at least need never work again.
