...cool as Orlando can be, there is also something there you can relate to," he says. "He has the ability to create characters we love to watch, yet he doesn't isolate us." And how they love to watch. "Everywhere on the Net, it was, 'Yeah, we love Frodo, but who's that elf?'" says Jasparina Mahyat, 36, a Singaporean wife and mother who spends seven hours a day maintaining Orlando Bloom Multimedia (orlandomultimedia.net). Younger fans paper their bedroom walls with posters. They kiss their Orli pillowcases ($9.99 on eBay) goodnight. And they flock to online message boards like "Orlando...
Members post to the site’s bulletin boards several times a day, depending on what’s going on. They will pick apart every aspect of the league—from the lack of a postseason tournament to Pat Harvey’s uncanny resemblance to Frodo from Lord of the Rings with a meticulousness on a par with that of Hans Blix...

Tolkien presents these profound ideas in the guise of an old-fashioned sword-and-sorcery epic. But the characters are as real and human...
...become the supreme movie epic of our time. Towers, while naturally lacking the variety of moods and settings in Fellowship, has a grave gusto that energizes every moment. For this episode is a very war-y war movie, a long assault to determine whether the crusading companions of Frodo the Ring-bearer will survive to confront their ultimate destiny. A palpable pall hangs over the realm of Rohan, where King Théoden (Bernard Hill) has been bewitched by evil wizard Saruman (Christopher Lee) and his spy Gríma Worm-tongue (Brad Dourif, as a slimier Richard III).
