I was watching Lord of the Rings the other day and was very impressed with the orcs. I think orcs are one of my fave fantasy creatures. 
I like orcs too. Mind you, I like Golum as well, so perhaps I'm a little strange!
Gollum was pretty cool too! I think I prefer the orcs because they're so repulsive and brutish. Like anti-Elves.
Haha. Yes, they are pretty horrible! I must have read those books a dozen times and never get tired of them.
Me too! Even though Tolkien popularized orcs, I remember reading about similar creatures in older stuff like Beowulf. Creepy literature really interests me.
