All you people have such short attention spans!!! <P>Those obsessed with the films alone are not really interested in Tolkien. Therefore, they would not, should not be considered Tolkien fans in the least. People such as they are interested only in "awesome legolas" and "hot faramir" they don't care about Middle-Earth or anything deeper than the surface scratch that PJ has produced for their consumption. THose of these fans who ultimately refuse to read the books because they're "boring", or "slow", or they're antiqities should be considered (I think) a disgrace to Tolkien fans everywhere (see above for the definition of a Tolkien fan).<P><BR>Iarwain
