Defriend you over your love for 30-year-old British productions?? Not a chance. ;-)

Interestingly, and frustratingly, my checked-out copy of the LotR audio doesn't have much information. It has the simplest outside cover imaginable, with no extra information outside or inside. Even the online library info's a bit bare, just noting that it stars Ian Holm and features a cast of 25. No other names listed! But it's the correct version, and has 13 CDs.

Oh dear, the animated Bakshi version. Do not want. I saw that way back in the day (1978?), and it seemed to glory in the "pornography of violence," to the point that I was unsettled and my parents regretted having gone to see it. Yes, it's a dark, violent story, but it can be done with style, and Bakshi had none. *shudder*

Hah, the quote about the stars who had no idea what they were doing reminds me of accounts I've read of the "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" radio show, and perhaps the televised version -- some had no clue what they were doing, but it was a job, so... ;-)
