Had a perfect evening: went to eat delicious Thai food at Lois McMaster Bujold's house, where we burbled about the movie, went to see the movie again and bawled over our favorite parts, and then back to Lois' house where we ate Godiva chocolates and drank ginger tea and talked about it some more.
Am re-reading Shippey's book, which I strongly recommend, and desperately want to talk with someone else who has read it too; am very interested in his distinction between "Boethian" and "Manachaean" [sp?] conceptions of evil; he maintains that LOTR uses both.
