that quote I mentioned (among other things)

[minkhollow]

Like I said at the start, the quote I mentioned in the post previous:
“Once something actually happens somewhere in something as wildly complicated as the Universe, Kevin knows where it will all end up - where ‘Kevin’ is any random entity that doesn’t know nothin’ about nothin’.”
--Douglas Adams, Mostly Harmless
Anyway.
Five chapters through Fellowship. Is it just me, or did the movie *completely* not do Merry and Pippin justice?
Current music reminds me in some ways of "Pictures of Lily". Maybe I'll tell you about that one tomorrow.

I loved the way Billy Boyd and Dominic Monaghan portrayed Merry and Pippin in the movies, although it's been a year since I last read Fellowship and I may not remember some things about it that I should. I suppose if Peter Jackson had had more time to work with, instead of only three hours, he could have included a few more scenes that show Merry and Pippin a bit more like they were in the book. There are a few of those in the extended DVD, if you've seen it.

I liked well enough what they did with them in Fellowship, even in regards to the book. It's in Two Towers that they really didn't do them justice - I can hope that some of the stuff they missed with them will make it into Return of the King, but we'll see.

Also, yay on getting through the first 5 chapters of Fellowship. Yay on getting through the 1st chapter - I've read it a ton of times, and I still find it hard to get through the beginning. That's why I didn't read the book for so long - I kept starting and not being able to get past all that hobbity stuff.

But then again, I'm not the world's biggest hobbit fan.
