"Do Christians in fact eagerly long for Christ's return? The more Christians are caught up in enjoying the good things of this life, and the more they neglect genuine Christian fellowship and their personal relationship with Christ, the less they will long for his return."

I just heard of this - evidently there is an extremely low budget yet (by the looks of the trailer) good quality film coming out in May called The Hunt for Gollum. It's made by fans of the Lord of the Rings, for fans, and will be available online and for free. I think it's going to be about 45 minutes long.
For my fellow LOTR geeks: this film will recount Aragorn's hunt for Gollum that occurred between the Long Expected Party and the Shadow of the Past (events highly time-compressed in Peter Jackson's films).
Here's the trailer.

There has to have been some private funding for this, right? How did they get those landscape shots?
This is amazingly high-quality. I suppose this is the equivalent of "self-publishing"?
I hope they stay on schedule and pull this off well.

Hmm.
This is a section of The Lord of the Rings that could be really interesting, in expansion. In many ways it's Tolkien's personal Guantanamo Bay--where Gandalf and Aragorn run short on time and have to "put the fear of fire into" Gollum.
