Exactly 24 hours before TTT! (6:30pm)
My favorite character in the book was Gollum (an extraordinary complex and endearing character) followed by Sam (the Sam from TTT and ROTK, not the Sam from FOTR). And my favorite character in the movie was Aragorn. Viggo's airhead comments won't succeed in spoiling my Viggo-Aragorn, so I know I'll just have to enjoy the 2nd movie even more than the first one.
