San Francisco: This early [7pm] screening of the Two Towers tomorrow offers a lot more than just the chance to see TTT early. There’s still a few tickets left, if you want to see PJ’s personal message prepared for this audience only. Plus you get free books and a movie poster! [More]
It’s movie release time, and the spoilers are definitely ramping up. So, to save the sanity of those who are avoiding movie spoilers, we’ve created a special movie talk channel – #moviechat .
If you want to discuss the Two Towers with likeminded people, head to #moviechat . (People who’ve never been there before, please note that our guidelines prohibit swearing.)
For our java users, it’s as simple as selecting moviechat from the dropdown list and connecting. For other clients, type /join #moviechat once you’ve connected to the server.
Reminder: Do not take your spoilers into #theonering.net as it will only annoy the moderators there! Some people have to wait till after Christmas to see the movie, and we don’t want their experience ruined.
Hope to see you there!
There’s still a few seats left at the Amnesty International early screening of The Two Towers at 7pm Tuesday 17 in San Francisco. I’ve just been talking to the organisers and it sounds like a fantastic event, if you can get to it! Peter Jackson’s been an incredible supporter of Amnesty International, and for this screening he filmed a special introduction in which he talks about the relationship between Tolkien’s story and the world we live in, and the way the films can make us think about issues of power, freedom and the abuses of force that affect us all.
Everyone who attends this special showing will receive a compilation book about all three movies, and a movie poster. Those alone are worth $35, so the $50 ticket seems like a pretty good deal. To book a ticket to the screening, click here for an invitation.
All proceeds from this charity screening go to Amnesty International
The NZ Herald’s doing a few features on TTT, so explore their site a bit if you want. This article on Bruce Hopkins [Gamling the Old] caught my interest for being a bit different. [More] Thanks to Lee for the link.
We don’t hear enough about the remarkable Barrie, co-producer of the Rings trilogy. Thanks to Matt for this link to the Star-Tribune. [More]
