Movie Chat returns this weekend with a double-bill of “Empire Strikes Back” and “Return of the Jedi.” Join us Sunday on our IRC server at 2 pm EST when we pop our copies of ESB into the DVD player. After the usual confusion, at around 2 pm EST we’ll all press play on our individual players and proceed to cheer and jeer (or discuss and argue, if you like!) the finer points of the film. We plan to take a break midway through the film, to allow for stretching of fingers and backs. Barliman will be on hand to serve drinks and snacks (and to enforce the house rules). “Return of the Jedi” will follow at 5:30 p.m. [More]

Peter: Fellow Lord of the Rings fans, you have a chance to take home your own talking Gollum statue. Los Angeles based non-profit Project Angel Food is holding a Hollywood themed auction, HOLLYWOOD 100, on June 17, 2006 to raise money for their continuing mission to provide free meals throughout Los Angeles county for those affected by HIV/AIDS and other serious illnesses. In order to help Project Angel Food, New Line Cinema has donated two limited edition talking Gollum statues that where never sold in stores. Each of these statues will be auctioned, along with other Lord of the Rings memorabilia, on June 17, 2006 at Bonhams and Butterfields in Los Angeles with eBay Live Auctions allowing bidding from around the world. All proceeds will go directly to supporting Project Angel Food’s mission. [More]
