For you scholars out there, we’ve got Elostrion back for lesson #5 in our series, “How to write a Sindarin sentence”. This week’s lesson will cover the mutations, starting with Soft Mutation, also known as Lenition (softening). This lesson is very simple once you memorize the mutations that take place. We’ll go over how we mutate a consonant, and when to do so. Meet us in #thehalloffire this evening (Wednesday March 12) at 7pm ET (midnight GMT) to participate. We’ll post the log later for folks who cannot make it!

This is the story of how these effects were made and the challenges that were faced along the way. A short history lesson into the origins of Weta is included to provide some perspective of the journey into Middle Earth.” [More]
The release Russell Crowe’s upcoming movie Master And Commander: The Far Side Of The World has been moved back – in the hope it will pick up Oscar nominations for 2004. The sailing flick was originally set to be released in June, but bosses at movie studio 20th Century Fox have decided to shift it to a much later date, November, so the film is still fresh in the minds of voters when nomination time arrives.
