I liked Rivendell and the Shire, as well. Those were probably the two sets that took the most work to create. The Shire, with the actual reshaping and replanting of the land. And the sheer attention...

I think a huge difference between LotR and HP, one that makes LotR seem much more magical (despite the relative shortage of actual magic) is the setting. HP is based on fictional aspects of a...

Glenethor, I believe Lee sees it as the summit of his career, as well. He's wanted to play Saruman since the 50's.

Mmm...anybody else find it interesting that Aralaithiel thought Aragorn was too arrogant in the movie, while Raefindel thought he needed more confidence? Differences in their conceptions, or just...

He'd have to use a saddle, I mean, he does raise both hands to use a bow while riding. An elf can do that, a human just can't.

Oh, yes. Bombadil moved around so fast you couldn't even see him. Amazing.<P>Seriously, I think that the cast for the whole Fellowship was very well chosen. As for who was best suited for their part,...

For Frodo, I wonder if he was affected more by Baromir's attempt to take the ring. He certainly became much more grim and determined at that point, evidenced by his leaving the fellowship without...

I had The Hobbit read to me, I believe when I was ten. I'd read it once before, but I somehow failed to really catch the magic. Probably never read attentively enough. And I still didn't get too...
