Great news Hall of Fire fans! Gandalf has sent me the next topic up for discussion:
Tolkien Inspirations: How has Tolkien inspired you?
Does Tolkien move you? The Professor’s work has made a profound impression on millions of fans over the decades, and this Saturday we’ll explore the impact Tolkien has had on our lives. In big ways and small, we’d like to know how JRRT has affected you.
Has Tolkien inspired your art or music? The way you feel about nature? Perhaps your career or hobby centers around Tolkien. Or on a simpler level, what character do you feel the closest to and why? Make sure you bring your tissues for what should be an emotional chat. 😉
Special thanks to Ringer fan Earsul for this topic!!
Time and Place? 5:30 p.m. EST on #theonering.net server in #thehalloffire….see Hall of Fire link for details

I got this email from a friend who’s just arrived in London:
“On my trip from LAX to London on B.A., I browsed through the inflight magazine “highlife”, as you do when you have 9 hours stuck in a seat just that exact width to be perfectly uncomfortable. In such mags, they typically do articles on a number of travel destinations. I was a little suprised to read in the little highlights-strip on the bottom of the cover:
PLUS: St Moritz, South Carolina, British Columbia, Middle-Earth
Woa! I don’t know what they put in the drinks on BA, but transporting you to Middle-earth would be a feat.
Anyway, there is a small article – lovely glossy photo of hobbiton, still under construction(!). Title is “Will Middle-Earth cost the earth?” Stupid title, they don’t talk about cost-overruns or anything. Oh well. Pretty std article, the only things picked up that I didn’t know about (but you probably already do) was:
– it said PJ “has experimented with the idea of digitising the entire movie, so details such as cloud formations could be changed and sunrises and sunsets could be added, or enhanced.” I noted the past tense – I guess that means they AREN’T doing it??(Doing some I think, not all – T)
– He has hinted that he may be filming extra battle footage for a non-PG 13 version for later release on video and DVD.
– I didn’t know that after the 36 minute executive screening of battle scenes, it was New Line that requested 3 movies instead of the 2 because they were so impressed.” This info taken mostly from the 1998 Jackson/AICN’s ’20 Questions’ interview, I think – T)
