Will had a new client (the very funny Dave Foley from ‘Newsradio’ and ‘The Kids in the Hall’), and one of the first things he asked Will was whether or not he had watched LOTR. The client said he couldn’t work with a lawyer who hadn’t seen all 3 films; he didn’t want anyone who had “come in at the end.”
Will said of course he had seen them, what’s not to like about a movie with boys named Merry and Pippin searching for a piece of jewelry?
Then the client said something else about the film, and Will said something like, “When Theoden’s daughter Eowyn stabbed the Witch-King, I screamed like an Uruk-hai.”
Then the client said, “Hey, I liked the movies, but I’m not one of those freaks.”

Hi there–I don’t know if you can use this for the site, but I attended a press screening of 50 First Dates tonight. The movie was god-awful and quite literally the only bright spot throughout was Sean Astin. Not only was it damn nice to see Samwise back on a screen, but he was hysterical!
He plays Doug, Drew Barrymore’s protective, juiced-up brother (not to mention his very funny lisp) and without giving anything away, he has a very great “***** dance” which was truly the only thing that made me laugh out loud during the flick. Not worth your money, but good old Sean does not disappoint. Surely you deserve a loose role like this after years spent in hobbit’s feet!
Odds are The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King won’t need special effects to pull off major Oscar wins Feb. 29. With 11 nominations, the final chapter in the trilogy is a heavy favorite in top categories. And despite stiff competition from the other visual effects nominees Master and Commander and Pirates of the Caribbean, aficionados say that director Peter Jackson, the New Zealand-based Weta Digital and Weta Workshop should prevail.
