I really wasn't a big fan of the books, sorry.
"At Westford conference, a fellowship of Tolkien fans" by By Geoff Edgers, Globe Staff / March 24, 2011
Peter Jackson's three "Lord of the Rings" films grossed $2.9 billion and won 17 Oscars, and in the process made Tolkien relevant to a new generation....
The same thing he later did with "King Kong."
Presentations will focus on Christian elements in the author's work and a slide show tour of New Zealand, where Jackson filmed much of "Rings" and has just begun work on "The Hobbit."
Finally, a movie worth going to see in the theater!
--more--"
And what do you know, "Lord of the Rings" is on one of the pay channels right now.
I think I will stop reading the paper and retire for the evening now, dear readers. Thank you for understanding.
