    I'm actually getting really excited about this movie. The spider thing is gonna RULE!! I just got TTT for my birthday last Wednesday and the first thing my b/f and I did was watch the ROTK "preview". Maybe like last year I'll attempt to read the book first. I'm a huge reader but the three in one compulation is so intimidating.

    I need to buy the Silmarillion. Dinogallus was telling me about the whole backstory behind lord of the rings, about how middle earth was created and how Sauron became evil. Really cool stuff.

    I went to see Secondhand Lions today and got to see the trailer...AWESOME! You get to see part of Shelob and Dernhelm and all sorts of battle shots and also Aragorn receiving Anduril and Elrond "chewing out" Arwen for her choice. I had tears of excitement in my eyes!

    I just downloaded that trailer! oh my God oh my God oh my God...


    I'm sorry star wars enthusiasts, but I have a feeling this is going to be the greatest movie ever made.

    Would anyone be interested in a movie meeting...a VERY LONG movie meeting? On December 16th it's Trilogy Tuesday. Only 100 theaters in the US are doing this...they're playing FOTR, TTT, and ROTK back to back. Return of the King will show at 11:00pm. It's going to be at Ronnies 20. It'll mean taking a day off work, but I think I can swing it.

    I read that at the official site. Does anyone know where Ronnies is, or has anyone ever been there?

    Ronnies is in South County, off of 55. I've been there more times than I can count. A nice theater, just a lot of teenagers hanging out infront of it.

    Ok everyone I need a little help. I am reading Return of the King for the first time. I read all of Fellowship and a bit of Two Towers, but I had to quit part way in because I got really lost!! Now I'm still lost!! I know what's happening with Frodo and Sam but I am REALLY lost with Merry, Pippin, Gandolf, Legolas, Strider and the Dwarf.

    The movie and the book obviously don't correspond exactly. Last I heard Gandalf and the Gang were at Helms Deap and the Hobbits were with the Ents. How in the world did everyone get to the point at the beginning of Return of the King?

    One last thing, whose side is Isengard on? All the names have me really turned around.

    The movie TTT stops before the book TTT ends. Stuff from the book will be in ROTK. So do the job properly and read it all.

    The part about Frodo and Sam are fairly accurate except that Faramir is a wonderful character and not a jerk like in the movie. Isengard=Saruman=Bad...Merry,Legolas,Gimli,Aragorn stay with King Theoden and Gandalf rides ahead to Gondor with Pippin. The "how come" is too much to explain in a single post. You really should speed read the rest of Two Towers...it differs quite a bit from the movie.

    Yeah, read the voice of saruman, flotsam and jetsam, or the road to isengard. Any of those chapters should explain it for you.
