dstyle, I have already done the introductions, please pay close attention to the program, we have no room for these careless mishaps, being that we are committed to introduce a very detailed and careful account of the fight. You can be the referee though, just keep up with the events will ya?

By the way, I think it's time to announce the winner. What shall you say judges? Who shall emerge as a victorious champion of this merciless fight?

I'd hate to be saying this, but when I saw ALL those people standing in line in front of the theatres to see " lord of the rings" HOURS before its showtime, I thought THEY were the ones killing their time.
no offense.

Well I didn't wait for hours, I just saw a matinee today, and I thought it was truly the best film of the year, in fact one of THE best films I've seen.

The whole trilogy was very well put together, and considering it was so hard to piece it all together from the book.

It was truly amazing. The underlying meaning of the story has much in common with the Matrix.

Some wisdom for the ages. I'm sure some of us know that since Descartes introduction of the dualism of man and the seperation of mind and body we've been headed towards more materialization, and transcendence through the material world.

Bob Wallace wrote: "Naive science may say man is an animal, but every time man believes it, he has to turn himself into a god in order to deal with it."

Here are two comments from the wise (and nature loving) J. R. R. Tolkien on the subject:

As far as our western, European, world is concerned, this "sense of seperation" [between man and nature] has in fact been attacked and weakened in modern times not by fantasy but by scientific theory. Not by stories of centaurs or werewolves or enchanted bears, but by the hypotheses (or dogmatic guesses) of scientific writers who classed Man not only as "an animal" - that correct classification is ancient - but as "only an animal."


Nature is no doubt a life-study, or a study for eternity (for those so gifted); but there is a part of man which is not "Nature," and which therefore is not obliged to study it, and is, in fact, wholly unsatisfied by it.


As far as the value of individualism and free will, Tolkien paints it as one of the central themes. Indeed Lord of the Rings is a paean to the strength of the human spirit and its inescapable subtext is a repudiation of the leftist, collectivist movements that thrived in the 20th century and endures well into the 21st.

Yeah some of those people are so crazy into this movie. It's ridiculous, and great to watch, from the outside looking in. What you do is get people to wait in line and come join them at the latest possible moment. Viola. =) no waiting necessary.
