In case you’ve been living under a rock, the first installment of The Lord of the Rings hits the big screen next week. A friend of mine saw an early screening, and he described it as one of the top five movie experiences of his life. Wow. I’m eager to see it, not quite Star Wars excited, but still pretty pumped. I think I’m just excited because it’s a really good story, and it sounds like they’ve made a really good movie. That translates to a fun movie-watching experience.

Now for my plug: passageway.org published a story on the whole Lord of the Rings thing today. Check it out.
