Actually, I’ve often wondered what they’ll call the Middle Ages in another thousand years time – they certainly won’t be in the ‘middle’ of recorded history by then!

On another issue entirely, has anyone else seen that Christopher Tolkien is going to the US in a week or so to try and get the courts to put a stop to the making of the Hobbit movie, on the grounds that Newline still owe TE (he guesses) $80 million? There also seems to be a suggestion that the proposed second movie somehow infringes his (or TE’s) Silmarillion copyright in some way, though it’s unclear how.
