I want to see The Holiday! Is is good?

I should watch The Lords of The Rings. I'm one of those people who never saw it! Yes, yes we exist.

The Holiday was sappy but good. I liked it. Jude Law had been grating on my nerves for some time, and I was actually very pleased to find him nice in this movie, so yeah, I think you should watch it ( ... )

As soon as I'm back at my mom's I'll start the dl!

The thing is, I literally can't watch a movie before I read the book it's from. So I would like to read the trilogy before. I've been having an internal argument with myself over the past few months about whether to read it in English or in French. I never read a book in French when I can read it in English, except if it's way too complicated. (Except when it comes to Shakespeare.) And everyone tells me it's super complex and that I should read it in French.
As soon as I picked the language I'll be able to read it ;)

The fine art of me complicating my own life... *sigh*

I honestly believe that you should read them in French first to be sure to grasp everything because there's a lot of things going on, and that you should read it again later in English. That's what I did, and the French translation was really good...

Really? I was afraid the translation was awful, like most of the books. But if you say it's good, then it changes everything ;)

I can look up who did the translation of the version I first read, but it's the collection which now has pctures of the movie on the cover, the translation is really awesome. The guy who worked on it even tried to respect the musicality of Tolkien's words and it works reaaly good..

It'd be lovely if you could look up for the translator's name!

I wanted to buy this version: http://tinyurl.com/yd29lhr
Because it's the hardcover version. (I'm a pain when it comes to choose a book, i know.)

Ok, the guys name is Ledoux. He translated the books back in 1972 and it's the best translation so far...

Ledoux *takes notes* thanks :)
