He was certainly caught out on the hop and only offered up a hotel room key. I bet he had his pockets filled with naughties.

He definitely approves and somewhat scolded the Tolkien purists. He said the writer had no idea films would someday be created of his novels - therefore those insinuating he wouldn't approve, cannot be taken seriously.<br /><br />He was Ricrarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09837529281561239268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-455367558229908000.post-2406102565480299222013-01-04T11:03:02.595-05:002013-01-04T11:03:02.595-05:00RiCrAr,
