It’s an article from the June 12th issue of Business 2.0, a high-tech business magazine.
Day: June 21, 2001
Curunir is spending the next week counseling at a church camp for 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders, and he’d like your help.
Recipients of mail are required to sing or perform a stunt to receive their mail at the camp – a rule which goes over much better when the counselors receive a lot of mail. The greater the volume of mail, the greater the “humiliation” for the counselor…and the more fun the kids have with it all.
So, help us humiliate Curunir! If you can spare a few minutes, and change for a stamp, please send Cur a note at:
Jason Wakeland
Exodus I Camp, Pilgrim Park
26449 1340 North Avenue
Princeton, IL 61356-8790
Friday, the 29th of June, will be the last day for them to receive mail at the camp, so if you’d like to join in, please try to be sure the letter is in the post by Tuesday the 26th, if you’re in the US, and Saturday the 23rd if you’re overseas.
Curunir thanks you!
We have final confirmation.
Gimli does in fact take a swipe at the ring during the Council of Elrond.
Our source for this information runs pretty deep, so we can’t even give them a spy name! But it is true…you can take that to the bank.
Whether the clip actually makes it into the final movie, thats another question.
But thats not all folks! As it turns out, the bigger news is they will be filming pick-up shots from the Council of Elrond next week!
Ringer Vincent sent us this definition of a pick-up shot:
“A pick-up is usually an ‘insert’ – you don’t usually rebuild sets or that sort of thing for a pick up. A hand opening a door, a reaction close-up, that sort of thing are are pick-ups. In fact, pick ups usually do not even use the actors they are representing. It is usually the director’s arm leg, hand etc… or someone else like that who just happens to be available. If the actor is brought back it is probably for (1) a reaction shot or (2) change in dialogue that cannot be dubbed over – usually because they do not have an over the shoulder shot (or 2- shot) that matches enough to dub the line over or something similar.“
Thanks Vincent!

I’ve done a little snooping and checked around for more evidence of ‘Gimli and the Ring’. !!!Spoilers!!! [More]
You’ve all read the news now about John Rhys-Davies saying that his character Gimli will attempt to destroy the ring and fail. We’ve seen hints to this before.
Take a look at this image from our scrapbook. It shows some future LOTR action figures, if you take a look at Gimli you can see his action figure is poised to chop the ring in half on a small table.
The exact same table that you can see on this picture. So it seems that Gimli will attempt to destory the ring at the counsil of Elrond. Cool…’nuff said.
