It's a sci-fi/fantasy nerd's dream!
 ... Or is it?

Happy Chinese New Year to everyone at the AG forums! Except for RLacey and those who don't believe in dragons.

No, no it's not my dream. Never compare "Lord of the Rings" to "Harry Potter"...ever. Star Wars is eh...it would have been much cooler with Star Trek!

I have the special extended DVD editions of the LOTR movies in my DVD shelf, and the book (along with some related books - Silmarillion is still unread though) in my bookshelf. I also have all the HP books (the first I got as a gift from my sister, so they're in Swedish - the later ones are in English), and recently bought the complete set of HP movies and watched them all in two weeks. It was interesting to watch them that close after each other (I'd seen some of them before, but not all), and I think they're really good.

I don't know. It was long since I read the book, but I don't remember it being that special. And what I know about the movie can be summarised by "I have heard that Peter Jackson is making it." That's it. Probably will be at least decent, though.

I'm looking forward to seeing how the Hobbit is done, don't know if that is the same as "high hopes" though!
With regards to the Gandalf Picard and the Empire of Secrets photo, I think I would rank the constituent parts in this order: 1. Lord of the Rings 2. Star Trek (next gen) 3. Potter 4. Star Wars I also realise that none of you are interested in this.

I am, very much!
... Or am I? As far as the Harry Potter movies go, while the Prisoner of Azkaban was actually pretty good and definitely the best of the movies (by far), by far the funniest is the Half-Blood Prince. I've rarely laughed so much as I did during the first hour-or-so of the movie. The hilarious innuendoes, bawdynesses and dirtynesses just keep coming one after another. Quote:

I was going to ask the person concerned, whoever it was, to own up but on reflection it might be better not to know. Did anyone else see who was driving?
