My wife watches the trilogy when she cleans the house by herself. (When I help the kids are usually around, so we can't watch it then.)<BR/><BR/>Needless to say, she beats me bad when we play LotR Trivial pursuit. But I beat her in LotR Risk, so we consider it a draw.<BR/><BR/>Did I mention I was a geek?<BR/><BR/>Also, I used to show the end of Fellowship--Boromir's death--when my students read Beowulf. The parallels to Beowulf are incredible. He's the ring giver. He dies protecting his people. He cuts off Grendells arm (as Aragorn does with the Uruk-hai at the end of Fellowship...)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19752207.post-56813745708935695212007-02-22T14:12:00.000-05:002007-02-22T14:12:00.000-05:00Thanks for the inspiration!
