Thoughts while taking this picture: ‘I wonder what the weather is like in NZ today…’

The latest issue of Entertainment Weekly has a rather cool fold out cover with the goodies and the baddies from the new ‘X-Men’ film. Our very own Ian McKellen (Gandalf), who plays the chief heavy in the film, Magneto, is included as well.

Just to let you know, there will be a biography of Professor Tolkien on the cable station Ovation tomorrow (Sat. the 22nd) at 9:00 a.m. Central.

I’d love to see this! I do not get ‘Ovation’, but if anyone has the gumshoe to slip in a cassette and tape it for me, I’d love to hear from you!

Just letting you know our Lord of the Rings punchline contest has ended and we’ve chosen a winning punchline. We received a record number of entries for our Scifi Cartoon Contest (nearly double the usual amount), showing just how popular Lord of the Rings is online. Here is a small version of the cartoon but you can check out the full version here.

(With a side note to Tehanu or Tookish that we need a new headline writer :))

I’m giving away a copy of “Errant Vine”, a catalog from Viggo Mortensen‘s (Aragorn) latest show at the Robert Mann Gallery.

Details at the Corner of Viggo Mortensen.

Cheers,

Been to The Hall of Fire chat lately? It’s a great place where we host a weekly chat about a specific Tolkien topic. Gandalf and Company have concocted something a bit different for tomorrow’s discussion. Our topic is Frodo Baggins: Hobbit of the Shire. For more click here.

Thanks! Hope to see you there. πŸ™‚ Tookish
