My search fu is weak: can someone point me to the article Ursula Le Guin wrote about her unfortunate experience with the Scifi Channel surrounding the production of the miniseries Earthsea? Thanks.

And just for fun, here’s her response to the Studio Ghibli version, which was directed by Hayao Miyazaki’s son.

Wow. That’s sad, that she was assured Hayao would be working on it, but he didn’t. A bit of a slap in the face that the reason she was given for that was that he was retiring, only to find that he’s worked on subsequent films.

Earthsea was on Space a couple weeks ago, so I taped it and attempted to watch it. I gave up after 15 minutes because I had only the faintest idea of what was going on and why. Truly a piss-poor production.
