After seeing the trailer three times, I really couldn't wait any long and got a ticket for the first showing in Cambridge, Wednesday at 11.00. I don't think I would have survived the tension until after New Year. Not that I won't go and see it again then ;o)

Just bought the soundtrack which so far sounds fantastic.

And a pint to the person who first correctly guesses which character cover I bought.

Saruman or Arwen at a complete guess? Not that I will drink a pint if i am correct.

No, thanks. Liv Tyler is cool but I dread the unnecessarily added Arwen/Aragorn love story in the film. Well, yes, the two do get off together but that's not part of the story, just Hollywood interfering again.
*shudder*

Main reason: Christopher Lee plays him, one of my favourite actors. I don't think he'd be able to pull of Gandalf, but demented, corrupted Saruman is just the perfect role.
Secondary reason: One of the most interesting secondary characters in the whole book.

And will go into my folder along with Interview, Crow (score), Blade Runner and Conan.
You don't have to look at the title name to know that they're going into Khazad-Dum (A Journey in the Dark). And yes, I prefer the Dwarven name to Moira, bleeding Elves ;o)

And Enya sings in Quenya and Sindarin on two songs, very cool.
Argh, I need to search for my Quenya book when I'm home, I can't read it anymore.
Too bad Tolkien didn't bother with Dwarven that much (what's it called again?), I preferred it.

Current Music: LotR soundtrack - The Breaking of the Fellowship
(hm, quite fitting for Sean Bean to play the role of the betrayer Boromir...)

Gandalf, if you go to Khazad-Dum you will die.

Sorry.
