In the interests of historical curiosity, you might want to hear a few recordings of Tolkien reading from The Fellowship of the Ring.

The poem Namarie, and the Song of Durin.

I'm pretty sure I have an MP3 of him reading from The Two Towers, too; if anyone is interested I'll try to dig it out of my archives.

What video game before 2001 had quick time?

I feel like you are taking modern cliches and judging a movie made in 1998 by things that became cliche after the movies came out. What video games were the movies copying in 1997 when it was being designed?

Die Hard Arcade (1996) would have been the obvious frontrunner, and you could make a case for Dragon's Lair/Space Ace and other 1980s laserdisc games before it. I'm not sure the QTE had turned to "cliche" yet, but it was well-established by then at least.
