[Promotum] Disney passed on LOTR 3 times

[Ed Hintz]

    All I have to say about it is... Thank God. How Disney might have
mutilated LOTR could give me nightmares for weeks. Just think, the scene
at the Bywater Inn could break out into a cheerful Elton John tune, with
Celine Dion doing voiceovers for Frodo... If anybody else wants to submit
ideas on how they Disney could destroy it pass 'em along, maybe if I get
enough I make a followup post... ;-)
