Ooooh, a talking moose! Want a sandwich, moosey?

**laughs**

*teaches Gir about the finer points of the old Rocky & Bullwinkle cartoons* Ya know, those things are great to watch when you're stoned...

Sure, I'd love a sandwich, Gir.

Here ya go, moosie!

Moosie my friend.

*takes sandwich*
All of a sudden I feel like an animal at the zoo.

Mmm . . . Peanut butter!

It's all nice and squishy. I was sitting on it!

**Laughs his head off and falls under the chair**

::looks around, clear throat loudly:: I think that if LOTR hadn't cut out so much(and I think it cut out too much), it would've been 4 or 5 hours long.
As for Star Wars: The last half an hour or so of that movie was awesome, I wanna see it again. Unfortunately, one of the previews out there shows most of a very good scene, which is a spoiler, I think. I didn't see it until I after I saw the movie, though.

I've got to say I disagree (re: cuts to LOTR). I think if you look at what was cut, very little of it detracts from the main story. I think if Tolkien were writing now, an editor would tell him to cut out a lot of the Farmer Maggot and Tom Bombadil stuff, which were the main things taken out in the movie.

I enjoyed the movie as a completely different work than the book. If the book had been written the same as the movie (no Tom Bombadil, sketchy account of elves) I wouldn't have even finished Fellowship of the Ring, let alone the rest.
