That's me too. I finally caught on with Elijah Wood being British and Ian McKellen being from Alabama...

I didn't think it was all that funny. Especially in comparisan to that pointlesswasteoftime article 50 Reasons why LOTR Sucks.

I don't want to see a cross-dressing Saruman! The nerve

Sauron- The big baddie, the top nasty man, the epitome of evil... Who should've been cast in this role? A bald-headed Mike Myers.

And yes, Dr. Evil would have been perfect. Saruman could even be mini me
====================================

So let's see. If Sauron is Dr. Evil, then a meeting of Sauron with
the nazgul would be:
The Witch King of Angmar---Number Two (cries when Sauron berates him
for missing the Ring in Eriador)
2nd nazgul---Scott Evil
3rdnazgul---Frau Farbissina
etc.

By the way, would that make Gandalf Basil Exposition?

You mean McKellen's not from God's Country? I was nearly fooled. Suggest replacing Sauron with Michael Jackson next time around, if they're going to try to frighten anyone the substitution would work much better than giant eyeball, in my opinion.

<------I would prefer Hayden over Pierce for Aragorn...

But would any of us mind seeing Ashton!Gandalf uncloaked?

Huh. I see some sense in this casting. It would definitely sell.

I totally agree with Elijah's Brit accent being perfect. Don't you just love how he pronounced 'Mordor'? Mohwdoh, he said. Now that's excellent Elvish.
