They are cousins (first and second cousins), but Frodo called Bilbo his uncle. Probably because Bilbo was so much older than Frodo - they were "once removed either way", you remember.

Just got back from the movie; got to see the TT trailer! WOW!!!

And we have to wait until December???

...............sigh..............

This time I was a total basket case during Boromir's death scene with Aragorn. "I would have followed you......my brother.......my captain................my king................".............My goodness. Pass the kleenex.

So many of the little things stood out more clearly this time, mainly due to the discussions I've read here on the thread; I found myself "looking for" things that I had missed before. And I found myself appreciating some of the acting even more than before; for instance the scene between Ian McKellan and Christopher Lee, when Gandalf first discovers that Saruman has gone over to the dark side, and the ensuing battle between the two, is really quite wonderful.

Oh, what a good movie. What a good STORY.
