FF:NZ Lord of the Rings

YET ANOTHER newspaper has got a huge LOTR thingy.

The Sunday Star Times (Auckland only perhaps?) has a special edition magazine on LOTR.

VERY COOL

 

yeah, the Sunday Star Times mag is cool, better than the New Zealand Herald one me thinks.

But they implied that Lord of the rings fans dress up more than Star Wars fans. Possibly true, I don't know. Can't say I've ever dressed up in a Star Wars costume

Is the SST only Auckland? If it is, I'd be happy to send the thing to someone once I've finished reading it.

 

Na the weekend herald time out was better i think, as i have been after that pic of new zealand/middle earth for a loooong time - and i now have it

YIPPIE!!!!

 

Hmmm ... maybe I should have bought a stack of both papers and headed over to the eBay website.

 

SST, weekend herald are both freely available outside of the North in my experience...........me i am going to pick up a copt today or tomorrow

11 days to go!

i got my ticket, to the biggest screen in dunedin, the rialto, yeah!

 

It looks like TV3 are going to have a LotR story on their 6:00pm News every night this week.

 

10 days to go now, I gotta get me a SST!

 

Anyone heard of "The Magic of The Lord of the Rings" event? It's on this Tuesday, 11th December at the Central City Library.

Have a look here.

It's free but places are limited.

 

Anyone see Pete on 60 minutes last night? It was a pretty good interview, a bit of his history and what he's doing now.

 

The new Listner has a huge LOTR article also!

[waves hand in front of all who read this]DO NOT buy a TV Guide, you will buy a Listner![/waving hand]



and i know none of you are toydarians!

EDIT = or Hutts

 

I think many of us ARE Toydarians - we do collect the toys don't we.

riiiiiiiiiiiiiight

 

That little LotR segment on tonights 3 News was quite good. I'm quite hopefull about the movie after seeing that interview with PJ.

 

the premiere in London starts in about 2 hours. as of this post

 

I'm looking forward to the Empire Magazine review. It should go up later today;

Will tourists actually come here primarily to see the locations LOTR was filmed.

The NZ Tourist board seems to think so, this site / documentary / advertorial is damn impressive!

Great to see the premiere on the news. Elijah Wood was looking happy. I didn't realize he was only twenty, I thought he was about 25-26. Wow, he's the same age as me and he's already a big-time actor. Same with Natalie Portman actually.

Good to see Christopher Lee as well - can't wait to see him in Ep 2.

 

im currently watching the last of those "movies" from that link in JP's last post

quite cool!

Good review by Scott Chitwood. Of all the reviews I've read so far, no one's mentioned a third of the movie being in Elvish subtitles, so I think that wasn't true.

Quite a few have mentioned the running time though - you know, it wouldn't be so bad if they'd bring back that good old fashioned intermission. I was losing the circulation in my legs in Harry Potter, and that was only 2 and a half.

 

<gasp>

BLASPHEMY!!!

how dare you say that vile name in this thread! ... again i see it

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The thing is - we have heard a few people say its 1/3 Elvish with sub's - but like i have said:

"in fellowship Elves arent in it for a full 1/3"

and what has also just hit me

think to the multiple screenings of the adds on TV.

Elrond says: "You shall be the fellowship of the ring" (or is that in a trailer) anyway - hes an Elf - and he speaks in english! whats the deal with THAT?!

EDIT = I'm sowwy - I corrupted the thread - all better now! (i hope)

 

> how dare you say that vile name in this thread!

Which "vile name" is that??

"HP" or "Intermission"?


Now ... it looks like LotR is also going to beat Episode I at the box office, so the obvious thing to do is for everyone to boycott going to see that movie too - I know you'll ALL be behind me on this (and don't buy the badly-made toys either)!

 

If I see Ep 2 five times, would that make up for LOTR once?

 

I don't care if it beats Ep 1, as long as it doesn't beat How the Grinch Stole Christmas! I loved that movie

That Empire LOTR review is now up!

5 Stars!

Reading that, I can tell I'm going to like the movie much better than the book. Sounds like they've expanded out Saurons roll . . . he was only seen through his minions in the book. And they've beefed up the Arwen/Aragorn romance . . . ahh romance
