I watched all tree of the movies, and only fell asleep in the second, but I'm no good at Tolkien character and place names without a program. So I had to look everything up. Very clever. If I understand my Tolkien references, Mithrandir is Gandalf's other name. |

See why I cast myself as the clueless gatekeeper? Which character would you pick? You could be Legolas. Looks to me like Spock and Bert are hogging up the really good parts. Scott could be a Oliephant, too now I think of it. Bert would be a good lurker in the waters on the west gates of Moria. Bert could storm the Hornburg, and have Horvath throw Vern93 [gimli] on his neck. Too bad Peter Jackson didn't know this bunch. Spock in New Zealand for a protracted period of time, unable to type inside his Ollyphant Outfit with skis included. What Joy! Scott & Bert cannot be on LOTR as there is no buggery in the books or movie(s). Although Bert could be Grima Wormtongue |

Maybe we could ask Hank Stuever what character he had in mind. Eviel |

I tried The Hobbit years ago too, but the cuteness got to me pretty quickly. When my son asked me to find all the books for him at yard sales (I did, the next week) I figured I really OUGHT to read them. I skipped a lot, but still found them mostly tedious, with a few exceptions that I can't remember. A lot of characters blend into one another in my mind, which makes for much confusion. The first movie was enjoyable, the second stank (Who are all these people and why are they fighting?), and I haven't seen the third yet. Very clever. If I understand my Tolkien references, Mithrandir is Gandalf's other name. If you say so. -- Cheers, Bev +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "I don't care who your father is!
