And in appropriately linguistic terms; Tolkien's profession and real love.

No, like it too.
It's gorgeous to look at, both in terms of the scenery and production design and all the pretty people and it's not dense, complex and angsty, either, which can get tiring.
I'll be staying for the season, too.

Agreed. I was really disappointed when Gandalf didn't do his Black Speech bit in the cinema release. I was so happy to see it in the extended version.

He was also on Entourage, playing a humerous, whiney douche version of himself.
At least, I assume he was acting.

That was one fierce facelift.

"…Or better, just play him as Bertie Wooster. Perfect."

British censors have a long and ignoble tradition of making really stupid, shortsighted decisions. They cut the nunchucks scene from "Enter the Dragon", banned the interracial kiss on Star Trek, didn't play God Save the Queen when it reached number two in the charts, and likewise refused to air, "Rock the Casbah"…

I agree as an idea it seems in many ways like a no-brainer. It's
possible that, though they liked the concept, the actual scripts they
saw were just shite.
