Secrets revealed: where Jackson got his script for LOTR :)
http://flyingmoose.org/tolksarc/homework.htm
PS. Also read the SUnday Times Endorsement too ------------------------------------------------------------- A Brief Synopsis of The Lord of the Rings One of the often-recurring requests on the newsgroup rec.arts.books.tolkien is from students requesting a synopsis of J.R.R. Tolkien's epic work The Lord of the Rings. The work is extremely long, and because of this many students simply can't find the time to give the work a thorough reading before giving a written report on it. In the interests of cutting down the number of requests for this material, I have written a short synopsis of the three volumes which make up the Lord of the Rings as well as an accompanying synopsis for Tolkien's posthumous book The Silmarillion. As an added supplement, I have also listed some possible topics for term-papers and book reports for those who don't feel a desire to come up with their own. Of course, I feel compelled to point out that a much better understanding of Tolkien's work can be achieved by reading the actual books; it's well worth the effort. If you simply don't like to read, however, I'm sure the following synopsis and suggestions will help you make the grades you obviously deserve. |

Hehe, this was funny. Pippin being called Pipsquek. And "Melkor and his brother Morgoth"

Ah, the Tolkien Sarcasm Page... by far the best Tolkien humour site on the Internet.
However, this doesn't actually have anything to do with the movies, so I'm moving it.

This entire page is hilarious...the best part is the e-text; it's a much better parody then 'Bored of the Rings' because there are so many actual references to Tolkien. It is much more enjoyable if you know the books well.

This was bad though, just . . . . . bad . . . .
It's sad to think that a person could take something like this as the real thing too.

From what I read, they said she was Galadriel, the good sister of the evil but beautiful Queen Beruthiel.
