....Speaking of Lord of the Rings Triology, I just finished watching them back to back on Sat. and was rather comatose by the end. That left me thinking - just were would Middle Earth be if Strider had hit dirt instead of water when the Woag knocked him over the clif?? Who would tosh Gimlee to the hordes of Orcs on the bridge? What would have happened to Eowin - would she have walked the dead forest forever??? Gasp!!!
And aren't you glad Mr Ledger didn't depart us in the middle of something? What a waste. Dork, stupid, idiot...... . Who else could get Matt Damon to squeal like a little girl ..........I will miss him greatly. I truely am sadden by this senseless death :(
But so as not to daudle in melancholy I really do think its time for a new Pierce Brosnan film. Especially something dashing :)

Ah, you get a gold star for this. As a died in the wool hobbithead from way, way back, I often pondered and discussed these very topics, among others. I am of the generation that scribbled "Frodo Lives" grafiti everywhere in the late sixties/early seventies.
ReplyDeleteWhile I am disappointed that the films had to cut so many "important" parts and characters, I understand the economics and logistics of modern moviemaking. I still read the trilogy every couple of years, just to remember the small details that made it so important to me years ago, if for no other reason than the glory of Tom Bombadil and his mysterious life and songs.
The loss of another bright talent before his time to drugs is depressing yet I often find myself thinking that they often get the life they choose and deserve.
