Tolkien and the translation of those texts to film as undertaken by Peter Jackson, et.al. updated to include deviations from the recently released extended edition DVD of The Return of the King.

    Dear Santa,

    After nearly spending half an eon watching the extended versions of LOTRs and comparing the text of our beloved JRR Tolkein to each and every sound and syllable of the movies, I am writing you in hopes that you deliver to me this very Christmas the following gifts:

    1. A life
    2. Liv Tyler
    3. Liv Tyler naked
    4. The Extended version of Dune on DVD
    5. The Dune books

    Sincerely,
    The LOTR Nitpicker
