John Walton down under?! (and LOTR)

[keithfras]

A short time ago one John Walton was paged over the loudspeakers in 
Auckland Airport (where I currently am, obviously). Anyone we know? :)

I've been in New Zealand for the last couple of weeks in honour of 
the LOTR movies - me and three Australian Tolkien fans toured some of 
the country and went to the street party in Wellington for the NZ 
premiere. We saw the film the next day (and I saw it again the other 
night) and while I was jarred a bit by the fast pacing, some slightly 
weird-looking stuff (mainly camp Elves in lipstick or apparently 
sedated!) and some of the changes to the story, I thoroughly enjoyed 
it - I think the final sequence (the Breaking of the Fellowship) 
really made the film with its emotion.
