katsaris"Philosopher At Large" has described/storyboarded an adaptation of part of the Siege of Minas Tirith that I would have paid her weight in gold to have seen instead of what we got in PJ's movie, SFX-impressive though *that* one was. (And yeah, the "weight in gold" bit is a hyperbole but only a mild one. :-)
As it is I would still very much like seeing this as the animated short she describes. Here you go, people: The Downfallen
Remember to wait for all the pics to load. :-)

And now for something different, a parody of the ROTK movie -- completely hilarious: http://www.livejournal.com/users/mollyringwraith/5635.html

On other matters, I saw ROTK for a second time this Sunday. Still remains as bad a Tolkien adaptation as I had first said, and it's still frustrating how much time is spent on tiresome irrelevancies that could have been used on substance... but it probably works a bit better as a movie on repeat-viewings than I had first given it credit for. So I'll raise its "movie score" a bit. To 7/10, perhaps.
Mind you, still a very bad adaptation. Want to be clear on that. :-)
