Oh and I am just now watching "Stephen Fry's Planet Word" an interview by Fry with Jackson on Tolkien whcih should be on the BBC i-player this week.

Just a heads up, there seems to be quite a lot in the geek press at the moment about Tolkien, spearheading an upsurge in interest in fantasy in general.

Last month's SFX had Martin Freeman on the cover and a decent couple of articles about the upcoming Hobbit film, and on which of Tolkien's other stories may or may not make good viewing if adapted.

There's a Fantasy Special edition of SFX out this week, which also promises 'everything you need to know about the Hobbit' (and lots of GRRM things). SFX Specials are generally very good, so it might be tempting...

And the latest issue of Sci-Fi Now features The Hobbit in this month's bookclub section, with a good article which touches on the issue of canonicity of all things!

I'm sure there will be even more in newsagents over the coming months.

So this is how he accomplished his mission. Logic!

An interesting article.

At least Gandalf's power saved the other!
