Fathers and Sons? You have to dig for that? In which of the Tolkien books is patrimony difficult to find? I don't see how Boyens is going to do much of a job with the Denethor theme, since that was... |

Claptrap. The article I mean. Once again I am awed by the capacity of the human brain to function as a veritable dustbin, sweeping up unrelated bits and shaping them - like so many bits of clay -... |

Hi Diamond, thanks for the clipping. That does make sense why the editing would be a rough road this time. I was feeling more charitable this weekend as I realized that The Two Towers is really the... |

Agreed, Swin. Although I always thought that petition was tongue-in-cheek humor. If you read it (and I have) it's clearly not serious.<P>Not to steer the topic into dangerous waters or any such thing... |

I'd say that I agree with a few people here. Elijah definitely looks the part, and he has the charisma to carry the role Frodo. I was happy with his Frodo in the Fellowship of the Ring, everything I... |

Lush, I couldn't agree with you more. If Tolkien were alive to micro-manage Peter Jackson's movie, it would not improve matters. It is quite obvious that Rowling in the Harry Potter films even... |

I would be mildly surprised at a single nomination for The Two Towers, and wouldn't complain if it didn't win anything. <P>The Fellowship of the Ring was an incredible movie. <P>It had emotional... |
