Like casting Eminem as Jim in "Huckleberry Finn."

Earthsea fans out there will be interested in this, which is reportedly Ursula LeGuin's response to the Sci-Fi Channel "Earthsea" movie. It reads like her, so I'm inclined to believe that these are, in fact, her comments.

That was interesting. I taped the miniseries but haven't had a chance to watch it yet. After reading that, maybe I won't bother, but will re-read the books and introduce the kids to them instead.

They're such great books, and it's definitely time to introduce them to the boys, IMO. I forgot to record the miniseries, but I wasn't all that interested anyway, since I had heard it wasn't too faithful to the books.
