Re: Joshua, Frodo_lives and Lilly

Just a quickie.

The first person cast as Aragorn was Stuart Townsend.
The Silmarillion is awesome, possibly better than LotR.
Frodo_lives, I thought Pippin was very close to the books but I agree with you about Merry. What does everyone else think? An what about Boromir, Haldir, Theoden etc. I thought Boromir was inbcredibly close to the book, almost perfect, especially at Parth Galen.
And Bored of the Rings was clearly written by people with great affection for the story it was based on. Any of you who haven't read it should do so immediately. Gollum being known as Goddam is something I find hillarious and that's just for starters.
Happy posting,
