A miniseries...? Yes, that would be nice to see also. (ok, I would love to see practically anything based on LotR. Err, except that Bakshi-cartoon.) But I still much prefer the story being filmed to a movie. Let's face it, television just hasn't got that grandieur that Middle Earth deserves. For me, walking into a movie theater to see a Lotr-movie is almost like walking into ME itself. And I don't think I could feel like that just by sitting on a couch watching an episode of a weekly series.

And Bethberry, you definetly should see Heavenly Creatures, as Lush recommended. Kate Winslet is excellent (as usual), and the whole movie is just wonderful.
