Re: To Niphredil 'My Vision of M.E. vs PJ's'
Amy Galadriel

I was very pleased with PJ's vision of Middle Earth because it matched so closely to that which was in my head. I especially enjoyed seeing a living, breathing Gandalf! He is played so well by I.M.! Hobbiton is simply amazing to me!! Have you seen all the attention to detail that was outlined in the Extended DVD? Wonderful! What I wouldn't have given to play an extra on that set!! I also am thrilled to have heard Elvish spoken! I always wondered about the correct pronunciation of so many of those words, not to mention that of several names of people and places! Oh, and Aidan, as a "strong Christian" do you ever pray for the health and well-being of the "staff" of LOTR?? I do!! So many people are looking forward to their completed work after all!! (Ok, it's a bit of a selfish prayer, I know, but I pray that they also are blessed with a long, happy life for making so many people happily entertained!) :) I'm a big Star Wars fan too, so George Lucas better be taking care of himself! P.S. Peter Jackson looks like a cute, pudgy little hobbit himself, doesn't he?
