    jp-30 That is so cool!

    Spray paints seem like a great idea! I'll take blue and green, and someone else can take red and black to make Frodo-Mauls...

    From yesterdays NZ Herald ...
    Your Guide to 'The Rings'
    The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring has it's world premiere in London on Monday and takes its New Zealand bow nine days later. This Saturday's Weekend Herald TimeOut is a souvenir edition devoted to the making of The Lord of the Rings trilogy here. It will include interviews with Elijah Wood, who plays Frodo Baggins, and other stars, a guide to what bits of our Earth stood in for Middle Earth and who's who in the cast.

    Director Peter Jackson takes us into the Mines of Moria, we go behind the scenes of costuming and design, and examine the impact of the trilogy's $650 million production has been - and will have - on New Zealand.

    the latest Pavement (With Liv Tyler or Elijah Wood on cover depending on which version you prefer) has an amazing 30-odd page feature on LOTR with the best interviews yet with Tyler, Wood, McKellan, Jackson, Makoare, & Viggo whatshisname.

    The mag's only 7 bucks, but beware gratuitous photos of skinny girl's nipples throught the magazine (not in the LOTR section, though).

    I don't suppose anyone here got that LotR special on tape? I knew it was on tonight, but thought it was on at 8:30. You can imagine my frustration when I double-checked TVNow at 8:05.

    Saw this old Escort this morning with the number plate "LOTR" I'm betting the plates worth more than the car.

    I think you can win a quarter of a million dollars through that promotion. Now THERE's a prize worth winning!

    mobil has such things as jigzaw puzzles, games and cards to collect - each purchase is $7 after spending $20 (i think) and the ultimate prize is a quarter of [Dr.Evil_voice]ONE MILLION DOLLARS[/voice]

    Don't worry Raz Zaphon, TV2 are repeating that LotR documentary, and there's another one coming to Prime TV:
    Quest for the Ring: The Making of The Lord of the Rings
    TV2, 11:35pm-12:10pm, Saturday, 15 December
    Repeat of the documentary shown last Thursday.

    Beyond the Movie: The Fellowship of the Ring
    Prime TV, 8:30pm-9:35pm, Friday, 21 December
    Documentary featuring footage of the first Lord of the Rings film and interviews with director Peter Jackson and the film's stars.


    :)


    Don't forget there's the Souvenir section of today's (Saturday, 8 December) NZ Herald. I haven't looked at it properly yet, but it seems pretty good.

    Plus there's an interview with Sean Bean (Boromir) in the new TV Guide (December 15 to 21) - it's pretty brief though, as with all TV Guide articles.

    {beats head against brick wall}

    I've posted a message about the NZ Herald Souvenir three times before - I knew nobody listened to (read?) me. ;)

    It should be available in today's NZ Herald anywhere in the country.

    There's also an article with someone from LotR in Section E - costumes? make-up? I forget who now. This may or may not only be in the upper Auckland edition.

    It has come to my attention that my above comment /\ may have been taken seriously. I perhaps should have stuck a "wink" face after my post. I wasnt seriously meaning that.
