: I just checked out a LOTR movie web site at http://www.eonline.com/Features/Specials/Lordrings
: This isn't an ad for it, since I have no connection, but it's interesting because it's the first site that I know of with "insider" status behind the scenes, so the amount of information and the quality of presentation is good. (The "official" movie web site didn't have much content the last time I looked.) I think that as time goes by, all the fan-based LOTR movie web sites are going to find it harder and harder to compete with these big bucks professional sites. It's also an interesting site since it really is aimed at the general public, with some funny typos and mistakes on Tolkien matters. Galadriel is not pivotal in the original quest. (The screenwriters emphasized her story to give more weight to the trilogy's female characters.) But with beautiful and talented Blanchett (a Golden Globe winner and Oscar nominee for Elizabeth) in the role, a little poetic license is okay by us. ....but not okay by me. I wonder what they're up to now. Is she going to use fireballs against the marauding army of orcs that apparently are going to chase the fellowship into Lorien, only to be stopped in time by an elvish ambush? Hey if we're "lucky" we might even get a nude scene.
