Spent three hours watching just ONE THIRD of a movie (OK, a TRILOGY) today. It's something called "Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Ring"! ME LIKIE! Can't wait to watch the other two parts. I can see now why all the hype around the movie and why it took so long to make. IF it hasn't already done so, it WILL become an all time classic. It was a birthday present from my Stepson. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
You know what is the best thing about it?
John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born on 3 January 1892 in Bloemfontein in the Orange Free State (now Free State Province, part of South Africa) to Arthur Reuel Tolkien (1857–1896), an English bank manager, and his wife Mabel, née Suffield (1870–1904). The couple had left England when Arthur was promoted to head the Bloemfontein office of the British bank for which he worked. Tolkien had one sibling, his younger brother, Hilary Arthur Reuel, who was born on 17 February 1894.
Yes...the writer was a South African Randy.
