Yes. I'm very curious as to why the two posts were removed. Certainly, I didn't sense any kind of threat in the "orc filth" line.
I thought it was funny and quite germane to the topic.

Is that Orson Wells doing the voice over? Gotta love those rich tones.

Now, is this the movie that has Genn Yarborough singing? Because as I recall, that turned me right off.

Not quite, for we are of about an age, I'm thinking.
I discovered Tolkien back in 1970, I believe. The Fellowship was checked out of the library, so I started with the Two towers.
