I heard a *** rumor that YET AGAIN Tom Bombadil has been
ingraciously snubbed, and will not appear in this film version of the
tale, either. Grrr...
This was a while back, maybe they've wised up since then. 2 1/2 hours
is NOT enough time to get everything in... 3 1/3 might do it.
I always figured the only way to really make a film audience
understand Frodo's weariness on the plains of Mordor would be to make
the theater about 95 deg F, and have that segment of the film last
about 5 hours.
Dave, I *had* some of those calendars. Don't know where they are,
probably in the same landfill with all my Micronauts. Grrrr...
170 days to go...
