red has just left Hobbiton.
Sting

Haven't seen the movie yet, but read this review just now and thought it very funny. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>The ent has been a closely-guarded secret by the filmmakers and now we know why: because it is possibly the stupidest-looking fantasy creature ever to appear in a movie. I'm serious. This is Neverending Story stuff. This is almost Labyrinth stuff. With big, googly eyes, the ents (yes, there are many, each more embarassing than the last) always appear against an obvious bluescreen as they shamble through the forest with the hobbits. The effect is so horrendous it's hard to believe it's in the same movie as the battle of Helm's Deep and the digital Gollum. Oh well, every series must have its Jar-Jar, it seems.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>From the same review - the very last line... <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>I ask only that somebody, please, burn all the ents.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
