I don't think you get Empire in Canada, but the articles that went along with that photoshoot were great. There's a cute video here too:

Huh. Not being able to [physically] watch those movies, I assumed they were Russian gangsters.

That'd be Pippin, Frodo, Sam and Merry (left to right).

I didn't realise you avoided video for a physical reason - I was just assuming it didn't do much for you.

I have retinal damage. About 50% of my right eyeball doesn't work, and the fovea of my left eyeball is distorted so I can't focus properly.

This means it takes me twice as long to synthesize a visual field as someone with good eyes.

The cinematographic style of the LoTR movies -- and most current action or SF movies, for that matter -- is incredibly restless and changes rapidly, with lots of shaky camera work and very short scenes. I'm physically unable to see what's going on -- it's just a muddy blur.

This does not aid one's enjoyment of a movie ...

Gotcha.

LoTR has lots of lovely tracking shots across elf-infested New Zealand, but the combat tends to switch perspective a lot, so that's not going to work well for you.

Thank goodness for books!

That's what he meant by 'second breakfast'?

Eh. He wears it well.

Um...I was referring to the line in the book(I'm guessing)/movie and 'whiskey' being what comprised one's second breakfast.

Oh, sorry. Misinterpreted what you were saying, there.

Interesting bit of trivia I didn't know until recently, Sean Astin's dad played the original Gomez on The Adam's Family.

Actually, I believe John Astin was his adopted father. I may be wrong though.

Frodo wears a bow-tie now. Bow-ties are cool.

It's turtles (and hobbits) all the way down.
