A host of Hamlets! Including Sir Ian McKellen Can't Post

As part of a Shakespeare tribute, some very familiar actors performing a very familiar passage.

Celebrimbor: "Pretty rings..."
Dwarves: "Pretty rings..."
Men: "Pretty rings..."
Sauron: "Mine's better."

"Ah, how ironic, the addictive qualities of Sauron’s master weapon led to its own destruction. Which just goes to show, kids - if you want two small and noble souls to succeed on a mission of dire importance... send an evil-minded beggar with them too." - Gandalf's Diaries, final par, by Ufthak.

I kept expecting Mel Gibson - but not the last actor.

So what IS it with Brits and "ginger" hair anyway?

“Tollers,” Lewis said to Tolkien, “there is too little of what we really like in stories. I am afraid we shall have to try and write some ourselves.”

It's a shame they've started blocking the full version!

Pretty cute :D [In reply to] Can't Post

I found the full version on YouTube but it was obviously bootleg (she just filmed her tv; you could see her knickknacks and hear her laughing) so I won't post a link. But that didn't keep me from watching it. Fun.
