There is something important… To realise… About Jacko’s ring trilogy… It was filmed prior to the… Collapse… Of the two towers… Oh, there may have been some later… Pick-ups… There undoubtedly were… But principle photography… Was done and dusted… By shortly after the turn of the millennium… This makes the world that we witness… In those films… Predominantly… The old world… Which may explain why the films possess so much comfort… For a new world… Shell shocked… By the events in… Manhattan… Moreover they were released… During the cognitive dissonance of that event.

The world could safely bask… In the nostalgic glow… Of the old world… Before finally coming to terms… With the terrorist hell… That Komrads… Tush and Bear… Were intent on inflicting upon us all… This now seems like a double edged sword… Made ever more ironic… By Prof Tolk’s own stated endeavour… To bring home the disastrous… Loss of agricultural village life… Of pre-industrial revolution Britain… The production and release of these films… Now starts to take on suspect… If not sinister overtones… But, hey!… The dark lord… Was eventually defeated… The dark lord being?

Klobberdem Slobster… Bond villain… Trekkie villain… And Flash Gordon villain… All rolled into one… Can we really take these people seriously?… The rest of the world does… Unfortunately… Not content with once having ex-actors… Strut across the political stage… We now have current comedians… Doing the same… Would we be surprised to see film-sets… And camera crews… Out there in the wild, wild east of Europe… Just go past… Like your fighting… Don’t look at the camera… It’s for television… Just go past like your fighting… Don’t look at the camera… Don’t look at the camera.
