I hope this isn’t going to be typical of the quality of reporting by the main stream press… In a short blurb tacked onto the end of an article about Nicole Kidman at Cannes, Don Dicker for the Hartford Courant reported, “Day 2 ended on a more fanciful note. ‘Lord of the Rings’ does not open until Dec. 19 but that didn’t stop New Line from showing a 25 minute peak [sic] to the press. Hobbits Bilbo Baggins and crew brained an ogre in fine style.” BILBO BAGGINS? OGRE? I guess I read a different version of LOTR. … And isn’t the first movie “Fellowship of the Ring?” I think more reporters need to visit this site to get their facts straight. <a href="http://members.theglobe.com/theonering/themusical/">members.theglobe.com/theo...hemusical/</a>
