[Iris Alantiel]

I'm not feeling the post-RotK blues just yet . . . I guess, sure, it's kind of sad that there'll be no more movies, but at the same time, I know I'll always have the books, and they just get better every time I read them - they're never the same, because I always end up seeing them from a different angle or noticing something new each time through. Also, it's kind of a nice satisfying feeling to see the trilogy finally concluded. If there's going to be any post-RotK blues for me, it will probably come when I realize I won't be seeing any more LotR movies in theatres again. <P>Actually (and perhaps this is kind of nuts) I thought it was more depressing to realize that I was never going to be *in* the Lord of the Rings movies. That was something I would have loved to do, just to be somewhere in the movie as an extra, just to say I was part of it. I would have loved being a Random Woman of Rohan. Or perhaps I'd make a pretty good Random Hobbit - I'm pretty short as it is.
