All jokes aside, it is really majestic. After you see the trilogy, or familiarize yourself with the books if you choose to, read this article for it is really interesting how Tolkien conveyed knowledge the way he did in his movie.

Well someone has come to their senses here!

Sir Arvestaked I welcome thee into my realm of worship; you will learn the art of controlling your spirit and shall forever be protected by my force of feminism that transcends beyond any imaginable force between darkness and light of this chaotic world. You shall soar with this newly acquired knowledge and mortal souls will submit to thee in complete awe.

Just don’t forget to supply your Goddess with cigarettes, sacrifice chocolate chip cookies to my altar, and pray to me. If you shall feel any pain or discomfort stick a bobby pin in one of those chocolate chip cookies and I shall come to thee, like the light comes to those that are in the tunnel of darkness searching for a ray of light. So long my disciple may the spirit of a feminist elf be with you!

Everything? Not really.
I could use a little more violence. Real violence. I'm not talking about an-arrow-in-someones-back violence. I'm talking about Exorcist/Casino/Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer violence. And a few cameo monologues by George Carlin would be nice.

Please make sure that it’s dark chocolate, I hate milk chocolate. Also don’t forget my cigarettes since they are very important to encourage the growth of my wisdom. You my disciple, shall be converted to the highest degree of Anilivism and then you shall gain the higher state of existence.

By the way are you going to post some of your art work? That also works for the enrichment of the spirit. Carry on with your worship and don’t forget to pray to me on daily bases. May the feminist spirits be with thee always and forever.

Gollum, Bilbo, Frodo and most likely all of the others that bore the Ring, made the happy discovery that they would not age as long has they had it in their keeping. Bilbo's age catches up with him nearly immediately after he gives the Ring to Frodo. This is the 'false immortality', or as the eminent scholar and historian Robert Lawlor calls it, 'premature immortality,' that is both an indication of our desires for the Golden Age and a trap that will condemn our souls. This false immortality destroys the true gift of humankind, which lies in the possibility of the ultimate re-union with the Divine.

It cannot be overemphasized that Tolkien equates the Ring with the Machine. Today, at the end of the Fourth Age, the Ring encircles us like the fence that surrounds the unicorn in the famous French tapestry. Bewildered by its beauty and astounded by its power, it seduces us into its trap. Like the Ring, technology offers us a 'false immortality'. Like Sauron and the corrupted wizard Sauruman, unashamed of their audacity, our technocrats promise us that this 'false immortality' equals freedom and life. Just open your eyes and look around. The purveyors of technology constantly promise a world of free energy and genetic miracles that will extend life and feed the world. Indeed one of their main promises is that they can eventually create an immortal human being. Technocratic philosophers even preach that it will one day be possible to download the human soul onto a microchip. This is the final seduction of the Ring or Machine that Tolkien knew would herald the end of this Age.

Indeed, Einstein said that our technology has surpassed our humanity.
