<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Quickbeam had to dress as a soldier of Minas Tirith <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>LOL, when I first read this I didn't realize that Quickbeam was a poster. I thought you were talking about the character and that we were going to have an Ent posing as a tower guard. I had this visual of him trying to get into the uniform. I guess you meant Pippin here.<P>At first I was trying to avoid spoilers, but I've given that up. Like many of you, when I first saw TTT I was thrown a bit by some of the changes, so now I figure if I try and think ahead to the possible changes I won't be thrown as much.<P>I think TTT had a bit of sophmore jinx to it as well. When I went to see FoTR, I went in with very little expectations and was completely blown away. By the time TTT came out, I was so pumped that even if Tolkien himself was reserected on stage, I would have likely been a bit let down. I'm going to try and go to RoTK a bit more level headed. Man, it's still more then 10 months away!!!<P>H.C.
