That's a precious story about your little guy, if you don't mind me jumping into this conversation.I've only been five times, but one of my sisters has been 8 or 9 times! Of course, she's still being homeschooled so has more free time than I do off at college.
I'm lucky - my Dad was a huge Tolkien fan and so I always had someone to talk to, though I don't suppose my comments, as an 11-year-old, really were that intuitive. Now both my little sisters love LotR, and all my friends are obsessed too! I tell you, it's a great time to be a fan. You think Mr. HobbitholeBoy will give tours if you ask him nicely? - JenB 1/29/02
Oh man...that gets me every time. And then that brief moment when we see their faces as they're carried off...they KNOW there's nothing they can do, and that Boromir is giving his life for them.Pardon me while I join the tear-fest. Ai! Poignant stuff! - RosieCotton 1/29/02

ROTFL - Thank you John!!
Thanks for the smiles... My fellowship has split up and gone off hunting orcs, Soldiers are preparing for war and I am desperately worried about Frodo and Sam... I must get back to my reading.

Just saw the movie again yesterday, for the 6th time! And we're just taking off from Rivendell...my 3rd reading since the movie came out.
Thanks for the ping, ecurbh!

Wait a second there! I'm probably going again tonight, the boys are going to Tiger Cubs with their dad and I can go alone.
