The elf Legolas and the dwarf Gimli even have a contest to see how many orcs they can slaughter.

I knew he would hate the contest!

It's a topical connection that Peter Jackson, the director of the cinematic version of J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy epic, seems to be inviting. In "The Two Towers," Jackson improvises upon Tolkien's text by introducing an orc suicide bomber at the battle of Helm's Deep.

You made the connection, Mr. Mooney, not me... Not bad though!

I hadn't thought of the "suicide bomber" connection... when I saw it, it seemed more like the Olympic torch runner gone horribly wrong....
