i have heard from some christian clergy that the good against evil lesson
was there. i'll wait for tape though, over 3 hours. not anything to do with
the bathroom, although thats a consideration, my hips would be killing me
sitting  that long.

well must look into a motorized wheel chair. if they are rentable. i know my
hmo will not pay in all likelihood. we had already planned a ramp in our new
house, this just means i need to hurry up and get it done. once in the house
it is totally level. hardly know where to start. if i were purchasing i'd be
more able to do the search.

I've seen it twice and each time, I was so engrossed in the story that I
didn't notice the passage of time.  Of course, I made sure I went to the
bathroom before the movie started.

As for the violence, I didn't think there was any more than, say, in a Star
Wars film.  We must remember that Tolkein wrote the trilogy after the war
(WWII) and the stories are allegories of the good vs. evil war of the Allies
vs. the Nazis - Sauren, the evil wizard, can be seen as a characterisation
of Hitler.  I'm not a LOTR fanatic, or even a fan, but that's what I've
heard.
