You're welcome! It is the bees' knees, isn't it? I was pretty damn eager before, but now I can hardly wait at all. It doesn't help that "The Choices of Master Samwise" and the following chapter are among my favorite bits in the book.

BTW, I'm not sure watching RoTK when you haven't read the books or seen the other two is a good idea. Too many story points to catch up on, too many people to keep track of. Although it could be a real test of Peter Jackson's skill :-)
