I know he has his critics among you, but as one of his fans, I would like to wish a very happy birthday to Christopher Tolkien who is eighty today. Obviously the chances that he is reading this is nil, but I shall raise a glass in his honour just as soon as I have finished my driving for the day.

Many Happy Returns, CRT - and thanks for HoME :D

You know what, I'll join you! Even if I'm guilty as charged of criticizing him sometimes, I'll admit he's also done some wonderful stuff for us. I thank him for HoME and for editing Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales, and basically sharing his father's work with us.
Maybe someone should send him the movies as a present...his mood may change once he watched them. Just an idea. ;)

A large huzzah and a Happy Birthday to Christopher Tolkien!

Or we could send him an Orlando Bloom poster. Hah. :p

It's a shame he didn't like the movies, although I can see why considering it was a story written for him by his father. I don't think I'd like such a personal thing cheapened and turned into a money-making cult film either.

Happy Birthday Christopher Tolkien, and many happy returns. :)
