Artemis writes: Today I got a message from my friend who lives in Chicago IL and she told me that when she went to Walgreens today they had the LOTR DVD on sale. This is what she said: “It was at Walgreens of all places. I just walked in to buy moisturizer and it was there by the film and batteries and stuff.”

Elijah Wood (Frodo) is on the cover. Also in the stores, the employees are wearing LOTR shirts. I asked, and they aren’t giving any away. Another promotion is LOTR gift cards. They have $25 gift cards with pictures of The One Ring on them.

Jenn writes: Hi, tonight I was at our local mall browsing around and went into the Suncoast store and there were displays everywhere for Fellowship of the Ring. Then I looked up, and on the TV screens hanging all over the place, THE MOVIE was actually playing, not just a promo. It was right at the end and I stayed to watch, but afterwords a new movie came on, so it wasn’t a continuous showing, but perhaps it’s playing in other malls too.
