I read this in an Oscar-related Newsweek interview with Peter Jackson: <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>[Interviewer:]We won't pester you with a lot of geeky "Lord of the Rings" questions, but could you just explain one thing? Sauron is the bad guy. He's a disembodied evil eye, and he wants the ring. What's he going to do with a ring? He's an eye! [Jackson:][Laughs] Well, in the book there is a vague reference made to him slowly gaining some sort of physical form. So eventually he'll probably get a finger to put the ring on. He'll be an eye and a finger.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>I just found that humorous. Quite a humorous explanation of something we've been debating on this site for some time.-AngmarP.S. Discuss.
