Judging from your recent posts, I don't understand where you get the time 
to sleep and eat, much less the time to wade through cinema crowds to sit 
through a 3-hour epic.

But for obvious reasons... if you *have* seen Peter Jackson's film... 

What do you think?

Saw it yesterday afternoon (with Harlan, who was there to review it for F&SF)
at a theater in Sherman Oaks, and it's about as perfect a movie as I've ever
seen.  It was everything I hoped it would be, and just what I always saw in my
mind's eye as I read the books.

I will almost certainly go back to see it again, especially once they begin
running the trailer for The Two Towers sometime later in the run.

(BTW, the B5-Rangers trailers will start running the 28th of December at 800
theaters showing LoTR; a full listing of theaters can be found at b5lr.com.)
