I can't believe fandom is not more hyper than Steve Colbert who reminded me of how momentous this time period is for us LotR Fans. it's been TWENTY YEARS since our beloved movies came out for the first time.
TWENTY YEARS. It blows my mind to see time go so fast!
His brilliant and amazing rap is here as a tribute to the movies that are life changing, amazing, spectacular, awesome, completely mind blowing.
