h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Since you like Tolkien so much, maybe you can recommend a chapter from 'Lord of the Rings' that i could do for my English Independant Project. Which do you reckon is the best....

Well, what can I say? It's so hard to choose. I guess it depends on what you're looking for. Here's a few ideas for ya.

Chapters with action (well, kind of)
Return of the King- Bk 5 Chpt. 7 ~'The Battle of the Pelenor Fields'
The Fellowship of the Ring - Bk 1 Chpt. 11~'A Knife in the Dark'

Confrontation
Return of the King-Bk 5 Chpt. 10~'The Black Gate Opens'

Treachery (well...)
The Two Towers-Bk 3 Chpt. 10~'The Voice of Saruman

Sad (I thought so anyway)
The Fellowship of the Ring-Bk 2 Chpt. 5 ~'The Bridge of Khazad-dum
The Return of the King-Bk 6 Chpt. 8 ~The Scouring of the Shire

Mystical(Galadriel's mirror type thing)
The Fellowship of the Ring-Bk 2 Chpt. 7 ~The Mirror of Galadriel

Hope this helps

Thanx, that's narrowed it down a lot for me, I think i'll go for confrontation, or maybe mytical... oooh, so hard to choose....

You havn't seen the Film/Cartoon version of Lord of the Rings have you? I've just shelled out £15 to have it converted to VHS from BetaMax, so i'm hoping it will be good...

Oh no take it back! Don't pick it up! Sorry but it is total rubbish and only tells about the first third of the story.... sorry

It doesn't matter know, the shop told me the video was too bad quality too convert, so i wo't be able to see it anyway...boohoo...

You're not missing much, it really is crap.

The book or the video?

I can't wait for these !!!! the movies are coming out next year (I think!!)

or maybe about 2-3 years.. . . oh the suspense. . . .

The video/film. A total total waste of time.

wait for the new version coming out in 2001. They have started filming now for 3 films. Big budget, great director, excellent effects company. . .
It may be unwise, but I'm getting my hopes up. ..

I hope it's good, since everyones saying the old version was terrible, and I want something to look at...

I had a look at a page where there were details about the film. It looks pretty good!
The url is above somewhere.

A good film of this would be great. I looked forward to the last one and was really disappointed. But I think that they have the technology now to do it well.

Fingers crossed X
