May I ask why I can no longer see the articles I posted unless I get a reply to them? Glitch or a new format?

That mournful note echoes as Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen) and his forces ready for their assault on Sauron's forces, the orcs. Gandalf (Ian McKellen), in a voice sodden with mellow sadness, realizes that Frodo and Sam are on a suicide mission: "There never was much hope. Just a false hope." Sir Ian's eyes move slowly, filled with mystery and pain.

That's not MY Gandalf! While he may have said things like, "Our doom hangs by the merest thread," Gandalf never said nor implied such a thing as losing all hope in the books. While there was any hope at all, however slim, he held out for it.

All I know is that I'm reading that last book, am watching the first two DVDs (extended versions) and have my tickets for Saturday (the only time I can go).

I am driven to repeat my one-line review of the trilogy:

If I see one more albino ectomorph, I'll puke.

Actualy the trilogy wasn't bad, and far more faithful to the books than Hollywood usually does.

Prediction: A "prequel" will be made of The Hobbit, the one starring the young Bilbo Baggins...

BTW, why hasn't Jesse Jackson started to raise hell over the fact that all the good guys are essentially Caucasian, and the only "beings of color" are the Orcs and associated other evil creatures?

I saw ROTK this past weekend and it was the first film I have seen in a LONG time where the audience actually applauded as the final credits were rolling.

The scene where Eowyn slays the Witch King's dragon actually elicited a number of "Oorah!"s from the packed house.
