Ian Holm will be in it, somehow. I imagine they'll do an intro or something of him and Frodo reading the Red Book.

@Ven: I don't think you're incapable of understanding my position. I said, from what you posted so far, I get the impression that you don't, as I've encounter people who treat the films the way you complained about, but I don't consider myself one of them.

I 'll need some time to type up my issues with the movies, but I'll get working on it.

Also, Tom Bombadil had no business even being in the book; Tolkien himself admitted that in a letter later on. Cutting him should never have even been a question. He's totally out-of-tune with the rest of the world and story.

And Frodo was in his early 50s, I believe, though he was young when the ring actually passed to him. Granted, Hobbits age slightly slower than humans, but having him played by an 18-year-old really stretches the story, and, ultimately, changes his character (or at least sets a precedent that Jackson follows up on many times throughout, of making Frodo less heroic and more of a wimp.)
Cold silence has a tendency
to atrophy any sense of compassion
between supposed lovers.
Between supposed brothers.
