I think it probably just means she hasn't gotten her fingers on them yet. :) So the times where The Lord of the Rings is the go-to present for other people's kids are over, huh?

I'm still hoping we'll eventually non-dubbed movies here. It might still happen while I'm around to witness. They've already stopped translating the Brad Pitt and George Clooney commercials, after all.

It seems the time for the LOTR franchise has passed? But then, I hardly ever talk to teens these days anymore, so what do I know?

But I suppose with The Hobbit coming out soon, maybe that whole series will get revived? Although I wonder if that phenomenon was of a particular time which has passed, at least in this country. Somehow, an impossible fight against an overwhelmingly evil foe made a lot more sense to me when Bush was in office. ;) But then, I suppose The Hobbit isn't exactly about that, is it? (Dunno, it's been a long time since high school - the plot slips away from my memory.)

Man, we haven't even gotten to the dubbing stage yet! We just don't have foreign material here. It's really pretty sad.

I remember LotR was the thing to give away to strangers when I was a teen. My parents gave it to my friend Doris' brother as a confirmation gift (them being neighbors). I hear became a huge book geek.

So you think people read LotR as a way of protesting? Hee! That's pretty hilarious.
