Just one single day before I get to see Fellowship of the Ring. I can’t remember clearly now, but it might be two (maybe three) years since I first heard of this movie, and this wait has been almost unendurable. I was hoping to make a midnight showing tonight but there don’t seem to be any in my area. So I’ve revised my countdown below [since removed]; instead of ending at midnight tonight, it will end at 8:15 PM December 19, when I plan to see this movie at my neighborhood cinema.To get in the spirit, here’s an MP3 of Professor Tolkien himself, recorded in 1952, reading an early and chilling part from the first book. (I tastefully added a bit of room echo to give it some presence.) Bless us and splash us, root and twig, I cannot wait!
