Alternate ending to LotR...

Ive seen the move twice now and Im something of an expert on LotR at work so everyone at works keep asking me questions like: is Gandalf really dead or what happens at the end? Like you couldnt guess its going to have a happy ending?<P>So today while I was out splitting wood I started thinking about what to tell them so as not to ruin the movie. How about this:<P>Gandalf is dead...<BR>Everyone else dies in the big war...<BR>Frodo loses the Ring and Sauron get it...<BR>People alive today are actually descendents <BR>of evil men and orcs from ME...<BR>Notice how Saruman is the high tech guy? Hes the reason our society is obsessed with technology today...<P>Then when their mouths drop open you can say that LotR is "very famous for its social commentary and didnt you know?"<P>
