[Gwaihir the Windlord]

<BR>Look what I dug out of the Weekly Telegraph this morning.<br> <br> <blockquote><i>Quote:</i></b><hr> Why 180m Pound Frodo could be more than a match for Harry Potter</b><br> ...Everyone in the world with internet access seems to have strong opinions about <i> Lord of the Rings</i>, and has posted them on websitess. Around 400 sites devoted to the production contian sentiments ranging from orgasmic anticipation to grave foreboding.<br> Some sites tell you how many minutes remain before the <i> Fellowship of the Ring</i> opens nearly 20 months hence. The ability and charisma of actors cast in the most minor roles is minutely discussed; Sean Connery, rather than MacKellen, is the preferred Gandalf in some chat rooms. The over-arching question is: can the films possibly be as good as the books? Reading these postings in bulk becomes depressing; one begins to feel that these people badly need to get a life.<hr></blockquote><br> <br> Some people... <p>Gwaihir the Windlord <I><A href="http://www.barrowdowns.com">the barrow-downs</A></I><BR> 'Sing now, ye people of the Tower of Anor,<BR> for the Realm of Sauron is ended for ever,<BR> and the Dark Tower is thrown down.'<BR></p>
