Just so happens Kathy - that you can buy one in the same style (gold, 3-D) of all of Middle Earth right here.
But I can't find the individual Rohan, Gondor, etc. ones online.
Not that I'm frantically looking now or anything.
I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

LotR - The Return of the King: "We named the *dog* 'Strider'".
Frodo: Please, what does it always mean, this... this "Aragorn"? Elrond: That's his name. Aragorn, son of Arathorn. Aragorn: I like "Strider." Elrond: We named the *dog* "Strider".

Happy to do my part to make sure LotR-based products account for at least 25% of the GDP this year.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Saw it again with Emmett today (liked it better on second viewing since the disappointments were known and there was plenty of other detail to focus on for a second viewing).
Two notable Emmett comments:
on seeing Shelob stab Frodo
Emmett: "But he's wearing Lithril!"
Then I snuck a glance at him during the end to see if he was bored during the series of endings. To the contrary...
after the movie
Me: So what was your favorite part?
Emmett:
[thinks about it]
The ending.
Me: Did you get emotional?
Emmett: My eyes watered a little bit.

Hearting Emmett a lot.
All three movies have been that way for me - first shock at the disappointments, then growing appreciation for the details.

You should try hanging with Emmett in person. It's even better.

Actually, I didn't feel that way at all for FotR, a little for TTT, and the most of the three of them for RotK.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I was most disappointed in TTT intially. FOTR just floored me, and ROTK broke me into little pieces, whereas in TTT I found the changes (Faramir!!!) really distracting first time around.

As if I needed another impetus to move back to CA.
I actually gave FOTR a "B" when I first saw it. Breathtaking that they made it real, but I'm a little obsessive-compulsive about adhering to the books, and was more so then.
Now I'm a little OCD about the movies themselves...
