I saw all of the LOTR films in cinema (saw the first one 3 times), haven't watched them in ages though. I must admit that I prefer the books, but the 3rd one has to be one of the great films, even if it drags on for fucking years come the end lol...

Ok, now THAT I'm interested in. As long as they don't annihilate it, I'm all in for that, I used to love reading all the Expanded Universe novels (although that said, there was a lot of inclusion re. the main characters post-ROTJ) - speaking of which, I have GOT to get my arse on the sofa and watch them soon...one of my mates at 6th form watched all 6 on the day/night before we got our A-level results so he could take his mind off them; 15 hours solid watching lol...nutter.
The series will set somewhere between the films (part 3 and 4). That Wiki gives a lot of details. Can't wait to watch it every week...Actually hoping for a 6-DVD Box of the films.
