Any word on which movies this will be playing in front of?

I'm gonna be kind of sad when this finally comes out, it'll mark the end of an era, the closing of a chapter. I'll manage to sublimate the sadness long enough to enjoy the movie though.

I was not interested in this series at all until last year (I read part of The Hobbit as a kid but it just wasn't my style). Then I saw LOTR on DVD at a neighbor's house and I was so hooked that I started reading the books. We went to see TTT last Christmas time and I was the only female in the group that was with us that showed any interest in it. I am so excited about the ROTK because it was my favorite of the three books, but like discostu said, it will be kind of sad because it is the end of a journey. Tolkien had an awesome gift of storytelling! And now I am back to reading the Hobbit and this time it seems a lot cooler than 20 years ago!

You should pick up a copy of Tolkien's 'Silmarillion' which is, in effect, the prequel to the LTR triology. It's harder reading but it's just as exciting as the trilogy plus there's an excellent glossary in it that identifies all the characters and their origins. It provides great insight into the world Tolkien created and explains the divine origins of Gandalf, Sauruman and Sauron, the elves, and more.

I have seen that book at Amazon or somewhere and I always thought that it would be a helpful companion to the series. People have tried to explain some of the different intricacies of the story to me but unless it's in visual form, it kind of goes in one ear and out the other.

Thanks for the recommendation--now I'll have to buy it and read the series again :)

I have the extended DVD of The Fellowship of the Ring with about 30 additional minutes of story which I watch on my computer's 23" high-definition plasma-screen monitor.

It's really something to see and the longer version makes for a more comprehensible story line.

The extended version of The Two Towers comes out October 18.
