Megan, we can't be the only people in our newly founded order.  There 
must be other people who haven't read the books, but they're just not 
willing to admit it.  :-)  We just need a nifty name or acronym to 
entice them to admit to this gap in their educations.  
Maybe "Fellowship of the Celluloid"?

One more observation:  I think the guy who died at the end (gee, I 
already forgot his name) was not a particularly compelling character 
or a good actor.  When the orc hit him with three arrows and he kept 
fighting, I wanted to go onto the screen and finish him off myself.  
I thought the tired old device of shooting someone repeatedly and 
having them rise to fight again went out with the old Monty Python 
movies.  I really, really wanted the orc to shoot him a fourth time, 
right between the eyes to get it over with.  

Also, was there any relationship between Pretty Boy and the Evil 
Wizard who threw Gandolf onto the top of the tower?  They both have 
sleek long blond hair, but maybe it is a coincidence?
