My professional dealings with the Tolkien estate have led me to the same conclusion, though I would probably have said "A wacky ASSHAT."
(squints) I'm...sorry you had to do that. The tangles around that legacy rival the IRS in complexity and nonsense.
One of (our - the Reasons' and mine) co-workers at WotC was Dr. John Ratcliff - who is a Tolkien scholar (one of the few people I'll *admit* is geekier on this subject than I am) and has written books about Tolkien, the legendarium, and the movies. His tales of wending through the Tolkien Estate are horrific. Ew.
OK, if Jaba was marooned on present-day Earth, what job would he take?
Have you seen Rush lately?
I think I'm looking for the straight version of SH for myself.
Hell, I'm wishing SH was female.
I was part of the early '70s Tolkien obsession and read LoftR a couple of times in my teens.

That's not what the porno version was called.

I don't recall much of the story line, just that Misty Mundae was pretty yummy. Gotta love Cinemax.
WAS BLISSFULLY IGNORANT.
That's not going to last long around here.
edited to add context
Am unable to participate in LotR discussion, as my knowledge of it is shaky. It's more than nothing, but it's not extensive. (Does this make me an inadequate geek?)
I am trying to organize CDs. I am willing to share many aspects of my life with The Girl, but I find it quite painful having to place my mainly-indie CD collection next to, well, musicals. Thankfully, she also likes swing (otherwise we'd be conducting the upcoming wedding in total silence).
