Oh yeah, I got bit by the bug early and am enthusiastically looking forward to some enterprising young director buying the rights to "The Silmarillion"...LOL!! Got the "FOTR" cassette and am making do so far, but I'd be willing to pay extra to get them to sell me the whole trilogy now!! Can't wait to see the Ents...I musta read the LOTR 3-4 times before I caught onto the significance of the Ents. Remember when Gandalf says to Frodo in the caves of Moria, "There are other forces at work in this World than the forces of Evil"? And that was interspersed with Saruman yankin' all those trees outta the ground to fire his Engines of War?! Well, it was the Ents who became aroused and totally destroyed Orthanc!!
The Ents are the Sheeple!! The Sheeple must become aroused this Autumn...MUD
BTW...I was quite disappointed in the Balrog in the movie, but I thought Sauron was credible...can y'all imagine how cool it would be to have Morgoth depicted on the big screen?!
