Re: Pride and Prejudice: Adaptations of Austen
I think Keira Knightley, like Kate Winslet, is becoming less self-conscious as she ages, and hence a better actress. She was much better, I thought, in 'Never Let Me Go" - which I think was after P and P, although I'm not sure. I also think Kate Winslet is an example of an actress who when youn...

Re: Letter 181 and Letter 246 Frodo, Sam, Gollum and Other S
I just wonder if Sam might have been able to knock Frodo out; just immobilise him long enough to take the Ring from him. Would he have been able to throw it in himself, though? No person of little power could resist it at the last, "certainly not after long possession, months of increasing torm...

Re: Archetypes
*Waves back at Tosh* Re: my earlier question. It's just that I've seen people refer to ALL Tolkien's characters as archetypes, not just the Valar etc. I suppose they're either misusing the word or they don't happen to identify that closely with any of JRR's characters - or perhaps Tolkien's style of...

Just a point - I don't think there's really a connection between Merry being the one who follows the Rider in Bree (he just happened to be the one out taking a stroll) and him being the one who finally helped kill the Witch-King (not that anyone has suggested that there is). Merry's hurried return t...

Another thought: don't forget that there are TWO BBC renditions/performances of the Lay of Gil-Galad, because for some reason the songs of the BBC adaptation on the Music Only cassette/CD (it was originally released in the days before CD's ;) ) - which was released for sale long before the actual dr...

You can sign a petition asking them to release a DVD of the LOTR Musical here:

Extremely unlikely to work, of course. But still.

Well, I don't know about competing with long-running shows like Les Mis (20 years, is it? ;) ), but LOTR is doing pretty nicely, whatever the critics choose to throw at it. And lots of schools would love to perform it, I'm sure. I think Kevin Wallace once said something about having the rights to a ...
