I'm sure that a bunch of you saw Lord of the Rings last night. A whole group of us went to the Alamo Drafthouse North here in Austin and checked it out. To me, this was obviously a movie made for people who read the books. Since I can't read, I've never read the books and almost feel cheated as a result. It may actually inspire me to learn to read again :-) Also, we had a good laugh at our friend Raf actually say "El Oh Tee Are." Oh, and it's a REALLY long movie at 3 hours. We didn't make it out until around 2, which is why Steve's still sleeping while Maarten has to be up in the wee hours of the morning on dialup in a country where he has to shit in a hole in the ground.

So anyway, this story is for people who saw the movie to talk about it, or for people who don't care. So there are SPOILERS IN THE COMMENTS. This is the only thread you're really allowed to post spoilers in.
