Hm, seems like you misunderstood me, it's probably because of my bad english.
What I think I ment was (afterwards I don't remeber what my first reaction about the musical was): If you make money out of something, let's say a movie, I think that you should at least have written the story that the movie are based on yourself, using others creations and make money out of it feels not that good imho, especially when the writer of the LOTR books is dead. And the way the people who own the rights to LOTR are driving it makes me sick, first the movies, that's okay, then the game, which was just another way to earn more money and now the musical, do they only think about profit?
_IF_ JRR Tolkien was alive, and accepted all this crap they're making (toys, games etc) it would have been more OK, but far from good.
Ofcourse you could go see the musical just because you like it, but I think this media-created hysteria about LOTR is way to far gone.
note: I liked the movies a _lot_, and I like the books (I'm reading the book about bilbo, the one they haven't made a movie of, right now). So that's not the issue, what I don't like is the people in tie sitting on their fat asses only thinking about profit.
btw: who is Peter Jackson?

A musical that the creators can make even more money on! That's the way I see it, and that's sad, they're just out to get every last pence out of the LOTR concept, and they didn't even write the books themselves!
If you search for something that you can buy, sometimes the first result is a link to for example: ebay.com (and the result, with description and stuff got another background color), that is kinda annoying. Otherwise I completly agree, slashdot and google for president!
I still think ipod isn't as good as Zen/other creative jukeboxes, because there are two diffrent versions, one for mac and one for pc (am I right on this one?) and that sucks.
Oh, and btw, my friend got a creative jukeboxwhatever and it got a really nice interface and so on. I'd choose Zen.
For sure it's great, but I still think NASA is doing this just because of the Columbia accident, they have to make up for their mistakes and so on. Therefore I think there will be nothing special.
.. My cell phone (Sony-Ericsson T200) also got a word-completion, but since I live in sweden and I speak swedish with my friends (suprising, huh?) and the word-completion doesn't contain so many words, it's not that fun when the completion-thingie don't find the correct word. then it takes awful lot of time typing the right word.
Slashdot Mirror
I think the same, do they have to announce every candidate and stuff?
I mean they release new Alpha/Beta/RC's more often than I change my underwear! (is it maybe time for me to change my underwear?)

Thats right, let us geeks copy DVD's and stuff, let all other kind of 'normal' people go to their local shop and buy their movies and music.
I would have no problem with that.. maybe just because I'm a geek.

Oh, thats true, but to see them (ipv6, santa, tooth fairy and stuff) you have to belive in them!
It's like peter pan (and LSD, for whoever that may concern) you can fly if you belive you can...
Probably random events.
I'm quite sure they used a 8-ball to figure out if the giant-space-thingie is going to hit us or not.
