I am too! My hubby is a HUGE fan and he's kind of brought me along. I read the books so long ago, I barely remember them but the movies kind of bring it all back for me.

Gandalf is my favorite. He f-in rocks.

I can't wait. I would really like to go on the 17th when it opens, but I have my final class that day.

I'll have to go on Thursday. Only 9 more days!!!

As one who's read The Hobbit six times and The Lord of the Rings five times (by the way, according to Christopher Tolkien, his father wrote LOTR as a single novel, modeled after Celtic sagas, but the shmucks at the publishing house broke it up into three books so they could make more money), I can honestly say, "GET A LIFE:!: "

Seriously, Julie and I could not afford to do the marathon with the extended versions in the theater, so we're going to host extended edition parties next Thursday and Friday evenings, then a group of us are going to see Return of the King on Saturday...no kids

When J.R.R Tolkien wrote Lord Of The Rings 50 years ago, paper was SO expensive that it would not have sold at all if they brought it out as a 1 time novel.
I know it sounds silly now but that's the way it was.
Guess times sure DO change ey?

You never liked fairy tales when you were a little kid..?

I am going to see it on the 17th in an IMAX theater.

That was how I first saw 'Two Towers' and it was WELL worth it!!

But don't worry, no spoilers from me!

T, I think you just have to find that 'zen' part of yourself and let it take you some place new. Not always easy to do.

Not much. I read some, but I read most everything I could ged my hands on. Still, I didn't care for them.

NPG, hmmmmmm....maybe I will try reading them again someday. but, so many books, so little time!

Personally, I'm looking forward to Eowyn kicking the Lord Nazgul's butt!!! (Ok, and Miranda Otto's smile doesn't hurt none either

)
