Yeah, I know that LOTR was made in your neck of the woods. It's is beautiful there. So your son cavorted with Liv, huh? That's pretty good.

I enjoyed LOTR but one of the most enduring images is NOt from the movie itself, it's from the bonus material included on one of the DVD's. You are going to laugh at this...

Viggo Mortenesson's horse in the movie was called Uryat (or something like that) and Viggo liked him so much that he bought him and the horse is still cared for in New Zealand. The horse's handler/trainer was a dark haired woman, a New Zealander, I think, who was interviewed on the DVD. So, for a nominal fee, we'll pass on the night club in Wellington and look for that dark haired horse trainer woman, OK? She was stunning!
