Comic-Con, is a fandango happening Convention taking place on the week end of July 21,22 and 23. Among the guests are Chris Carter, creator of the X-Files and Paul Verhoeven, director of ‘Hollow Man’, and Mark Hamill of Star Wars fame. But that’s stale pipeweed compared to this:
NEW LINE CINEMA offers previews of its upcoming movies, “The Cell”, featuring director Tarsem, writer Mark Protosevich and star VINCENT D’ONOFRIO and “Lost Souls”, PLUS A SPECIAL FEATURETTE ON THE MAKING OF “THE LORD OF THE RINGS” on Saturday, July 22 starting at 2:30pm!
Making of LOTR! Anyone who can get down there must! on the double!

While there, try and hook up with TheOneRing.net Staffer Quickbeam, he’s the one with the yellow leaves and the tendancy to look like a tree…

There are alot of X-Men reviews popping up on the net, considering the film will be out in North America tomorrow, I’ve decided to post one from our very good friend Resevoir Dog. Check out what the Dog has to say about Ian McKellen (Gandalf):
Sir Ian McKellen is wonderful as Magneto he is a fantastically wicked gentlemenly villain, even playing chess against Xavier. [More]

There is more in common with LOTR and X-Men than our favorite wizard Ian Mckellen (Gandalf). The latest commercial for the X-Men features music from the internet preview for LOTR! Look, or rather listen to it and you’ll be able to figure it out. As far as who or where this music comes from, we’ve gotten conflicting reports, some say the music from a composer called Christopher Field, yet I’ve had no luck finding any of his work. And no, it’s not Carmina Burana.

Eric Neuman, Producer with IGN sends in this little call to arms:
IGN.com has a poll on the front page asking which highly-anticipated movie you most want to see, with LOTR being one of the choices. You’re not gonna let it lose out to Matrix 2, are ya? 🙂
(Think Mufasa from ‘The Lion King’: “Is that a challenge!”)
So go and vote! Blow The Matrix II and SW: Episode II out of the water!

9air sent us this link to a great quote from Ian Holm (Bilbo). Star Wars fans might take issue, but its all in good fun! [salon.com]
“I’m not allowed to say much about it, but it’s going to make ‘Star Wars’ look like a weekend in the lavatory.”
— Sir Ian Holm on the “absolute brilliance” of the special-effects-laden film trilogy based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s “Lord of the Rings,” in the London Express.

Greetings– Quickbeam here.
In last month’s “Out on a Limb” I asked my readers this question: “If you could visit any mysterious, out-of-the-way place in Middle-earth, where would you go?” The object is to create a special piece about how Tolkien’s imagination influences our own. Everyone is invited to read and participate.
You have only until July 15th to send your submissions. That’s this coming Saturday, so hurry!
Much too hasty,
Q.
