Another Point of Singularity

With the release of the final extended DVD in the excellent LORD OF THE RINGS triology directed by Peter Jackson, I find myself feeling mixed moods. Whereas I know, intellectually, that I won't be expecting any keen follow-on pressies for Christmas in the future (Jackson is iffy about THE HOBBIT, at best, so future expansion in the same universe is doubtful), and that's too bad. On the other hand, perhaps it's time to put all the truckloads of LOTR inspired action figure, happy meal toys and badly devised 'classics with a LOTR theme to make them sell' to rest , finally, in the budget bin palookaville that they have earned.

Risk LOTR looks pitiful... and LOTR Stratego? What genius came up with that one? What's next?

Well, Mark Kissel postulates just what that might be in
Lord of the Rings, Paste-a-theme" over on the geek. Pretty funny stuff.
