Sorry Birdland - not trying to ruin it for you, just couldn't help but think of another innocent-entering-scary-bar scene in a trilogy . Though did you ever see the Bakshi LOTR? Remember how when Frodo starts singing "There is an inn" etc, musical accompaniment just suddenly starts up without any visible source? Aliens on saxophones would have been *almost* preferable.<P>Maril - you're right, Bag End was something that was almost exactly the same both before and after - it was absolutely wonderful they way did that (the interiors were perfect as well). The only thing I hadn't pictured was the gold edging around the door and windows, but it is a nice shorthand explanation for how the legend of Bilbo's vast wealth arose, if nothing else.
