Check out these amazing pics from my insider at United Cutlery! These things look amazing! I cannot wait to have Sting hanging from my wall!

Riskbreaker here with late-breaking news. I have included pictures of the new United Cutlery replicas out this fall. Much thanks to my friend on the inside. These are STING, GLAMDRING and the SWORD OF THE WITCH KING. And yes, they all rhyme.

Seems like the folks at EW Online don’t like our interest in LOTR. Either that or they seem to notice how thier hits go up when they say something bad about LOTR, or anything at all…ah well. [More]

”Lord of the Rings” fans

Ever since Peter Jackson and New Line Cinema announced they’d be turning the J.R.R. Tolkein trilogy into a movie, diehard fans’ heads have been spinning like 12-sided dice wondering how the movie could do justice to the Hobbit lore. There is even a sense of veiled threat to their endless quest for info (”If you’ve done ANYTHING to upset the legacy of Gandalf, so help me…”). All these fanatics should just put down their mouses and relax. We’re five months away from the first installment’s premiere, but it’s all been shot, and all the emoticons in the world aren’t going to change Jackson’s vision. Just take some time off and develop some other interests. Oh, and bitching about whether Chris Columbus was the right director for the Harry Potter movie doesn’t count as ”other interests.”

(ah because we must all be computer nerds because we like LOTR….I see -Xo)

Hobbit-forming

WHILE New Line Cinema hits like “Austin Powers” could hardly be described as advancing the cause of teen literacy, the studio does want to get kids reading books – particularly J.R.R. Tolkien’s epic “Lord of the Rings” series. New Line is joining with the American Library Association for a big “Teen Read Week” promotion this fall, with the emphasis on fantasy literature and the slogan, “Make reading a hobbit.” Of course, it’s no coincidence that the studio has bet the farm on its Tolkien trilogy, the first of which, “The Fellowship of the Ring,” opens worldwide Dec. 19.

Thanks to Inkling II for the tip!

News is hitting the net that LOTR Composer Howard Shore may be working on the next M. Night Shyamalan (The 6th Sense, Unbreakable) film ‘Signs’. The film is about crop circles and UFO’s, staring Mel Gibson. [More]

Besides seeing the FOTR trailer this weekend in front of ‘Planet of the Apes’, some lucky people were privy to the new Sean Bean (Boromir) film ‘Don’t Say A Word’, the film is scheduled to open on October 5th.
