"Why do you ask about him? "
I read, probably on TORN, that Christopher Lee reads LOTR once a year, so you'd think he loves the book and would be upset if the movie misrepresented it somehow.
"and who are we to argue? "
That's true - anyway it's a great and fun obsession IMHO. I do get some weird looks around here, though.
Well, I've got key dents on my forehead, so I guess I'd better go to bed... have a sunset before I leave:

Yes, I have also read that Christopher Lee is a great fan of the book... I am sure it has his stamp of approval!
Why do you worry so much? (is it the shield-boarding?) ... Didn't PJ give us a great first film? The trailer takes my breath away... It is gonna be one terrific movie!
