LOTR is not exactly a sequel. The whole thing was filmed at the same time, more-or-less. It's just chopped into 3 parts for release.

Can't wait for December 17. A high, holy day for Aerodynamics engineers and aviators and Return of The King!

PS: If you haven't seen Master and Commander yet, go immediately. It might be one of the most manly movies ever filmed.

I don't know...HATED the first Lord of the Rings..wouldn't go to another if you paid me. I know there are many devotees here, but I hated it. And it's not a girl thing, because I LOVED Master and Commander.
