The Maestro writes: AOL has premiered a “First Listen” of Annie Lennox’s “Into the West” from the LOTR:ROTK soundtrack. Very haunting song which, when it plays will only heighten the sadness as the credits roll on this final film.

As for the information. When I had finished watching the movie I started on the director’s commentary. When it came to the scene where Peter has his “first” cameo (when Saruman is giving a “pep talk” to the Easterlings), the man him self said something very interesting. He explained that many people thought he cameoed in the scene, (including my self), but he then explained that he would have loved to “exit with Christopher Lee” but becuase of the busy schedule that day it wouldn’t have been allowed. He had two scenes to do in a very short amount of time that day.
So infact, the scene where the Easterlings storm out … Peter is not amoung them. I mean, I saw the guy that looked like him, and he definatly fooled me. But I thought I would report this.

The column, by Rosemary Nottoli, talks about the obsession with sequels and her own personal obsession with a particular elf. It just goes to show that here in Big Orange Country(Go Vols!) we love our sequels and look forward to December 17. [More]

Here’s my thoughts on the weekend, starting with the first day of the convention: the Friday! [More]
