I hate to be always on the attack w/ these movies , but I get so much ammunition ! I bought an Entertainment Weekly , to check out tj epics [my c'puter does poorly w/ the movie sites graphics] and what is on the cover? a pointy -eared sword weilding arwen. but wait there is more.on p.38 we get some viscious looking orcs [look like they were modelled after evil relatives of the Iceman . [more pointy ears, seems PJ has not read HoME re: non-elvish origin} Gandalf looks positively wooden [and arthritic] at the council of elrond[?] the elves? in the background look pretty good [eventhough they seem to be modelled after Qui-Gon PJ is lounging by a hobbit hole door that gandalf would have to crawl through [seriously] and the finale- Elrond looking like he is about to bite Arwen's neck in some transylvanian castle -we also get to glims=pse the hitherto unknown elvish fondness for statuary that JRRT forgot to mention. All in all , I am afraid that while the ambiance of many scenes may be good , PJ is making a movie other than LotR At least though w/ digital technology , he can remove all the pointy Elf ears . lindil Lindil is often found on posting on the New Silmarillion Canon Forum at the Barrowdowns discussion board. 'The dwindling Men of the West would often sit up late into the night, and awaken early before dawn- exchanging lore and wisdom such as they possessed , so that they should not fall back into the mean and low estate of those , who never knew or more sadly still, had indeed rebelled against the Light.'
