They are both very good though I like the second one ever so slightly better. I suppose that's my inner Slytherin speaking (emerald...), heh :) As for Sean Connery: I think he is a great actor (I loved him as William of Baskerville in "The Name of the Rose") and he has charm, no doubt about it... Though that particular age gap is a bit too wide (45 years, give or take), even for me ;)

Hope you have a nice Christmas and a great New Year! *hugs* As of tomorrow I will probably own "The Road Goes Ever On" and my colllection of primary Tolkien Middle-earth stuff will be complete! Yay! Then I need to buy the extended soundtracks and a few assorted Visual Companions as well as "The Lord of the Rings Sketchbook" by Alan Lee. Might the South Haven be interested in a collection of Interesting Bits (TM) that can be found in RGEO? I would write it over the holidays and post it as soon as possible

*stops babbling, hugs some more* If you like the icon: it was made by slayer_9849 and you are free to take it and her Erestor icon, if you want!
