[Draten-Master of Fire and Ice]

Alas, Larry, I seem to have rushed out of the theatre too soon and missed the song! But yes I thought the parts with Smeagol-Gollum (Slinker-Stinker) were excellent!!!!! I have to give credit where credit is due: seeing the movie has given me an appreciation for the dynamics between the Characters Frodo, Sam, and Gollum that I simply failed to pick up on though I've read the books many times! They did a very good job on Gollum: he was more (and less) than I expected and seemed more or less beyond my reckoning which is, of course, what he is. I have more to say, but the Westron speech just can't say it...and I don't speak the language of the Noldor...
