There's also an official movie site with lots of pictures and downloads. With it being three movies instead of one, there's a good chance they'll do the story justice. And I have to say that I was delighted by Elijah Wood as Frodo... the pictures of Frodo on the movie site look *exactly* the way I've imagined Frodo for almost thirty years. The actor who plays Sam Gamgee also fits the book description very well. I'm a whole lot less thrilled about Liv Tyler as Arwen, but at least she's a minor character. Thankfully, they didn't seem to do too much "star power" type casting. Imagine Sean Connery as Gandalf, Brad Pitt as Aragorn, Gwyneth Paltrow as Galadriel, Tom Cruise as Frodo... ugh. Shudders upon shudders. Though at least Tom Cruise would be the right height... :-> -nemo
