Lord of the Rings

I still have not seen the final part of this trilogy. Partly this is because I hate going to movies on my own, and partly because, when I did have an opportunity, it was booked solid!

It was interesting therefore to read the appraisal of the whole at "On Byzantium's Shores" and to have smile as the lady identifies some of the small inconsistencies and changes between versions. Return of the King certainly seems to have rounded it all off nicely. I will get to see it soon, but may have to make do with the video or the DVD.

It seems that you and I are in the same boat. I am going to get the extended version in the hopes that it stays closer to the book. Maybe I can get over my pique at The Two Towers, for straying so far from the plot.
