Well, in theory.... but in practice ... maybe there weren't many takers for a bunch of grumpy old men

The Saucepan Man has been trapped in the Barrow!
The Eye Roguish appeal?

Yes, but what about Sauron's devilish charm?

Oh the Sylvia Plath theory...

What about it? I can't help thinking that the lidless eye would be a bit of a turn off - even if they did love it when he was masterful . Mind you some women still think they can change men (even if they don't have the receipt).

tar-ancalime has just left Hobbiton.
Ted Hughes as Sauron?

I wonder if we could populate Middle-Earth with poets....e.e. cummings is a shoo-in for Tom-Bom, jolly Tom!

Oh but I love e.e.'s poetry and loath TB's..... Tom and Viv would be interesting casting ... I say Sam is Pam Ayres.

Not fair! not fair! Ted Hughes is Faramir.

Ezra Pound for Sauron.

Margaret Atwood for Eowyn. (Wait, that isn't fair to Hughes either.)

Ted Hughes? Hmm, a little bit Byronic, slightly threatening, and very masculine...how about Boromir?

I see Faramir more as a Seamus Heaney.

Who could Wiiliam Blake be cast as?
