Second, in the “Winner/Loser of the Week” feature, the Winner of the Week is The Lord of the Rings. “In its first day on the Internet, the trailer for New Line’s fantasy flick was reportedly downloaded more times then the preview of The Phantom Menace.”
People Magazine’s April 24th edition also jumps in with a review of 28 Days. Here Viggo gets a very brief mention as a fellow patient.
The April issue of Movieline magazine lists 400 Hollywood factoids, a few of which concern our intrepid cast members.
# 176: “Until the age of 10, Liv Tyler (Arwen) believed that her biological father was rock star Todd Rundgren, not rock star Steven Tyler, her actual father.”
# 219: “Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn) speaks fluent Spanish and Danish.”
# 256: “Cate Blanchett (Galadriel) claims to be distantly related to LOUIS BLÉRIOT (1872-1936), the first aviator to have crossed the English Channel.”
How do we get this stuff early? A whole week early? Well, that’s my little secret.

Entertainment Weekly’s April 21 edition has two LOTR tie-ins.
First, in “The Drying Game,” about the new movie 28 Days, starring Sandra Bullock and Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn) : “Gwen (Bullock) develops a flirtation with a rehabbing baseball star (Viggo Mortenson), who’s a clean-cut, sweet-talkin’ dreamboat. He’s the film’s all too convenient way of letting her ease herself out of her relationship with her boozer boyfriend–” [More]
Greetings, Quickbeam here.
Now that you’ve had a wonderful glimpse into the world of Peter Jackson’s vision, we invite you to take a closer look at the Professor who inspired such creativity. We have a huge April update. Come on over to Green Books and check it out:
Remember, the Green Books section is not what you’d first expect. We are light years away from just a dry, boring discussion of Tolkien’s literature. Trust me on this.
Much too hasty,
Quickbeam
