I can't tell if the existence of Project Elrond, pre Sean Bean casting, makes the joke worse or not.

Although I could just pretend that Sean Bean's casting is solely the result of this one line in the book. That might make up for my disillusionment.

Took me a while to get into the swing of this book. I adore the movie, so my brain kept getting sidetracked by trying to smoosh the book and movie narratives together, which was a bit distracting. But it's evened out now. On the plus side, having seen the movie makes visualizing things a lot easier. Especially when it comes to the look of equipment.
