For those who know me well, LOTR:FOTR has been a huge, unique, steadfast part of my life- and that isn't going away any time soon. Whenever I try to express my affection and appreciation, I always fall short of words. There simply aren't enough words in the dictionary to describe what feelings and joys it gives me. So for the next few weeks, months, whatever, I am going to try as hard as possible to put my emotions into words. The finished article will be led in by various articles of (perhaps) short bios of standout cast and crew members, as well as films and workers I feel have been strongly and obviously influenced by the series. I hope to have one of these per month to lead into the ten year anniversary, starting in July. This means there will be about 16 articles. That's a lot of work- but I will enjoy every minute of it.
I truly hope that these will do LOTR:FOTR justice as it has affected me. I know that many people aren't as flabbergasted or in awe of the series as I am, many people don't understand how I can watch it on endless occasions, many people don't take into consideration the amount of work and success put into these pieces of art. But perhaps if they, and you, read words from the heart on this beloved work, they will understand- even if it is a little bit- why and how LOTR has built such a strong and loyal fan base to match its legacy.
