I read the Unauthorized Autobiography and couldn't make any sense out of it after the first chapter. I think I'll have another go when I've read the rest of the series... :p Erin

Yeah, I didn't miss the Scouring of the Shire much; leaving it out makes for a much more completely peaceful ending. It's nicer to think that the Shire itself has remained uncorrupted. Still, it has an important place in the book and winds up all right in spite of its underlying sadness. Erin

It is interesting how varied the opinions and interpretations of Tolkien fans are. One thing I've noticed in a lot of reviews I've read by fans of the book has been great disappointment over the omission of the Faramir and Eowyn romance angle. I'm starting to wonder if I'm the only one who never...

I always liked Gollum and felt that he had great potential for good. I like your interpretation of his final moment very much, but that is not how I interpreted it. It seems to me at that point in the story all three of the key players had failed: Frodo and Gollum to keep from being overpowered...

Congratulations!! :) Erin

Yay! It sounded awfully M*A*S*H-ish to me... :) Erin

Hope you have a good trip! Erin

So what was Sam's personality disorder? :p Erin

Welp, I finally finished my review of Return of the King if anybody wants to read it: http://www.epinions.com/content_125004910212. There, my first writing of the New Year! :p Erin

I haven't really started to make good on my writing resolution, though I finally did start my Return of the King review yesterday. And I also started rereading The Hobbit. Erin

Yeah, the extended editions are great! The Two Towers DVD added so much, I thought, especially with Farimir and with Merry and Pippin, who practically disappeared in the theatrical release. There was so much good stuff they cut out of Fellowship, even with the extended edition, and I had the...

Hehe, I took the quiz a few days ago and discovered that I am Gandalf. I'm always getting people into trouble and then abandoning them! :p I'm not sure how accurate that is... Though I would ordinarily be thrilled to be compared with Gandalf! Erin

I got both the extended editions for Christmas (last year and this year), but without the bookends or statue. I wouldn't mind having the Gollum statue. Pretty cool. I discovered to my dismay that the Sam and Bill statue I liked so much is all sold out and they're not making more... :( Erin

Yay! Hope it goes well for you! :D Erin

I've been wanting to read the whole series but have never gotten around to it, but from what I understand they *are* all that depressing. Everything just keeps going wrong. I'm pretty sure the latest book isn't the last book in the series, either; I don't know how many books there are going to...

Hehe. Glad to hear it! :p Erin

I was so happy after I saw the added scenes in Two Towers that made Farimir come off so much better. And in Return of the King he was just as I thought he should be. Sam has always been my main squeeze, but Pippin's always been hot on his heels. After the films, I'm afraid Pippin may have caught...

Got the CD today! What a wonderful soundtrack overall... But that track is definitely a standout! ***sigh*** *begs Sam's forgiveness for current obsession with Pippin* :p Erin

I can't get into The Matrix at all, but I am, for some reason, riveted by Agent Smith. It's gotta be Hugo Weaving. He is the absolute perfect Elrond; the absolutely subtlety with which he conveys his true feelings is exquisite. If he can pull off Elrond so masterfully, I guess I shouldn't be...
