Topic	Will we ever see a trilogy as epic as LotR again in our lifetimes?
Glob 03/06/24 3:22:01 AM #20:	Link_of_time posted... I'm not sure where you got lost, but I'll see what I can do. My mentioning of Dunes short existence is in response to your statement "LotR everybody has seen them". I'm sure a year after its release many still hadn't seen Fellowship. Of course many ppl have seen LotR, as the movies have been around for 20yrs, like how everyone has seen Star Wars. Both LotR and Star Wars were huge cultural events at the time as well. As well as making a shedload of money and having loads of spin off material, Return of the King won 11 Oscars, something which only one ever film had ever done. Yes, some people might have seen it later but a huge amount saw it around release and it was being referenced in TV shows and movies. My noting Dunes success was just putting a feather in it's cap. What it did was an achievement. It didn't have anything to do with LotR. Im sure you can see how posting that in this particular topic might come across as if you think it will be as big as LotR? The last part was explaining its current fanfare and bringing back some reality. Do I think Dune will be LotR? No. But if we're being honest, LotR isn't even LotR. How is LotR not LotR? <cite>Glob posted [p:979213699] in Will we ev...
