48Because the Beatles doing LoTR would have ended up being about as close as Space Balls is to Star Wars ...– brhansCommented Jul 22, 2015 at 14:02

@brhans, I dunno... I mean it depends how campy they went with. But everyone mentioned there were very talented people. (But I do agree that it could've been disastrous as well.)– YungHummmmaCommented Jul 22, 2015 at 19:17

9These days, with big, high quality CGI movies, it's hard to remember that before Peter Jackson stories like Lord of the Rings was considered unfilmable. Heck, I personally considered it unfilmable when I first read the book. The best you could come up with was something like Willow or Krull– slebetmanCommented Jul 23, 2015 at 2:19

6@Praxis: I meant (big (high quality CGI) movies). not (big high quality (CGI) movies). Yeah, the screenplay these days mostly suck but you have to admit that it's no longer as easy as it used to be to see the CGI-ness on screen.– slebetmanCommented Jul 30, 2015 at 3:03

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Type the name of the science fictional or fantastical work your question is about (Example:
star-wars).For questions not specific to any one work, use concept tags to describe your question (Example:
story-identification).Tagging rules:
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. story-identification), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
