In a recent post I extolled the virtues of the dining ritual; how it can be a valuable resource that nurtures our social and family lives. Somewhere near the end of that post I mentioned that Carla, Maria, and I took it upon ourselves to recast the Lord of the Rings movies at the end of dinner one night last year. We chose what can only be described an unassailable group comprised of both the living and the deceased. Here, as promised, is that cast list.Our only criterion for the group was for the reader to imagine the new actors performing their roles absolutely straight, with little or no affectation. I think we did a brilliant job, but your thoughts are of course appreciated.
A disclaimer: before reading on please know that Carla, Maria and I are huge fans of J.R.R. Tolkien’s work. We’ve read the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit literally dozens of times and own the movies in both DVD and Blu Ray format. Needless to say, no disrespect in the least is intended. With that, read on and enjoy.
