Oh, bum...  I really must see this tomorrow night at the very latest.  I
simply can't wait.  I bought the official movie guide and a brand new boxed
set of the three parts of LOTR (still in its wrapper) and I'm starting to
think Elijah Wood is cuter than Sean Biggerstaff...

I keep telling myself that I *must, must, must* read the book before I see
the film, but I'm such a slow reader (not literally, but I snatch moments
here and there rather than settling down for solid hours), that it's
unlikely that the film will still be in cinemas by the time I'm ready for
it.   Hell's bells...

Twice in my life, I've got about a third of the way through LOTR (which
probably amounts to Fellowship of The Ring, doesn't it?), but it's more than
20 years since I even looked at it, so I can't remember much detail.  I
think I can cheat, though, and say that I've read the book.  I can, can't I?
Please tell me I can go and still sleep at nights...
