CHUD also got to see the 20-minute press-only teaser for ROTK. CHUD’s verdict? “20 minutes of ROTK is better than 120 minutes of almost every other feature that’s come out this year.” [to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts] “Don’t be stingy and make yourselves look bad to history. Just hand over all the g*****am trophies to Lord of the Rings.”
Warning, this is packed with SPOILERS and strong language – but that won’t stop a lot of you I know. [More] Thanks to Lee for the link!’

Aranince Adanedhel writes: The theatre I work for, Casa Mañana, is presenting “The Hobbit” from October 24-November 2. The tickets run from $11-$13, showtimes and info can be obtained from www.casamanana.org or by calling Box Office Manager Ryan Roach @ 817-332-2272 ext 134. If you could post the information on the main news page, that would be wonderful. People who call for tickets should mention that they heard about the show on TORN.

Today I visited the London Science Museum to see the LOTR exhibition, when none other than Sir Ian McKellen turned up to be shown around the exhibits by (who I presume to be) the curator, and in tow was a camera crew and various production people and museum staff. Sir Ian was discussing the exhibits on camera and when he got to the Gandalf display they handed him his staff so he could wave it around for us. He spent some time talking to the museum visitors (many of whom amazingly had failed to realise who he was when he first arrived!), and signed autographs.
The camera crew were filming a program called The South Bank Show; no-one seemed sure of the dates that it would be aired but it is presumably being made for the run up to ROTK. [More]
