O' Mighty Tolkien!, who can stand in thy counsels?

Have you been reading the backcover of The Silmarillion again? :-)


I realize that everyone has no doubt seen the previews on the web, but, alas, I
had not.  I was saving myself for the cinema experience.  Finally, it came...

Ah, a man of virtue.


I saw the first preview for LOFR last night (and I fortunately didn't have to
again sit through Meet Joe Black to see it), and I think that we are in for
something great.  Star Wars Episode II?  Hah!  But a mere footnote in 2002 to
The Two Towers.

Most likely, it'll be two towers of cash.


For those Tolkien fans amongst us, the preview started with the ring spinning in
a red background as the One Ring poem was recited.  Then we saw an Orc host
marching over a hill.  Incredible.  Cut to Gandalf and the Hobbits, cut to
Galadriel speaking to Frodo, brief milli-second shot of a dark-haired beauty
reclining (Could it be Eowyn?),

Arwen most likely, Eowyn is blonde. Remember the scene with the Witch-King
in front of Minas Tirith with her helm falling. Just nit-picking :)
