my words of wisdom for today:
a day without sunshine is like night he who laughs last thinks slowest those who live in shadows burn more easily there are three kinds of people nobody understands geniuses madmen and guys that mumble beware dwarfs on stilts eagles may soar but weasels dont get sucked into jet engines a good bookshop is just a genteel blackhole that knows how to read the discus throwers got the best seats at al the crucifictions 5 exclamation marks is a sure sign of an insane mind fortune cookies are good !!!!!

I too have recently become an Ian McKellan fan, right up untill he appeared on snl and shot down the catholic church (which tolkien loved). If that isnt bad enough i recently dicovered he was a homosexual. Now do you think the writer of these books would appreciate a gay Gandaulf? I think not.

Ya, kissing Jimmy Fallin on the mouth was a bit unnecessary.

Tolkien might not have appreciated it, but his homosexuality has no bearing on the performance.

Bigotry usually leads to the closure of threads and bans, keep that in mind while posting in this thread.

Sir Ian Mckellen is a gifted actor, a brilliant comedian and, it seems, a wonderful man. His work on SNL was comic genius. I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard as when he kissed Jimmie Fallen. Maybe Tolkien wouldn't agree with his views, but the mans job isn't to represent the old professor, but what he feels is right. He is an activist for a cause he believes in, fighting bigotry. I say, good for him, and shame on you.

just got tired of the issue. a "campy" LotR would have been funnier than the fake unsolicited kiss thing. please close this thread anyway since it was just to announce the TV appearances.
