  • Interesting.  I barely remember the books, but it seems like they weren't nearly as cliched as Sci-Fi's version of Earthsea.

  • Your favorite band sucks, and you have terrible taste in movies.

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Given they pretty much encapsulated an entire damn season into a two part miniseries, I think it was pretty damn good.</div>

<div style='font: 14pt "Sans Serif"; text-align: justify; padding: 0% 15% 0% 15%; '>I'm very disappointed with how it turned out. I was very excited when I heard about the project as Earthsea was one of the series that got me into fantasy (and really, pleasure reading in general). But when I read Le Guin's comments, I didn't even bother recording it.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt georgia; text-align: left; '>What the hell is going on with Sci-Fi lately anyway? Besides Earthsea, theyve been producing crap like Anaconda vs Boa (not to say Earthsea wasnt crappy, but at least it was "fantasy")</div>
