P.S Forgive me Stu if you've yet to hear the works of Corfield Godfrey. Ignore at your peril my friend.

I actually haven't heard them (as yet) -- but I have heard only good things about them from people I trust, so they most certainly are on my list!

What does this have to do with the upcoming Jackson film(s)? I am struggling to make the connection...just seems like a few of paragraphs about when and why this person likes to watch Jackson's FoTR which they refer to as part of a (cringe)trilogy.

Nothing, but everything to do with the multiple comments in this thread about them. I thought anyway

I see, there was no context in your initial post and you didn’t reply to any previous post in particular.

Ah, got you. My mistake

Stephen Colbert appears to be developing a Tom Bombadil movie, looks like it may be called Shadow of the Past.

“Fourteen years after the passing of Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin set out to retrace the first steps of their adventure. Meanwhile, Sam’s daughter, Elanor, has discovered a long-buried secret and is determined to uncover why the War of the Ring was very nearly lost before it even began,”

A strong contender for "just because one can, doesn't mean one should". I'm not quite sure of the artistic or commercial benefit of salami-slicing the book to satisfy ones own desire to see something. With the Hunt for Gollum and now this, I fear the book will be mined until its exhaustion or collapse.

Good to see John Howe in that video, wonder if Alan Lee will return too
