Arkenstone writes: While watching TV, a commercial appeared on contact lenses. The person who was advertising looked very farmiliar. Then it hit me. No, not who it was, my LotR book. My brother had thrown it accross the room and it hit me in the head. Well, I got really angry, but I really shouldn’t have. He pointed out Sean Bean and then pointed out the commercial. It was Sean Bean! He was the advertiser! I was so stunned.
Ice Hobbit writes: Last night I was flipping thru the channels at high speed. (My wife was upstairs so I could get away with it) and I saw the last frame of the (a?) trailer and the TTT logo.

I thought you would have mentioned it earlier today so I didn’t write in sooner. It was on one of those third tier cable channels late at night.
