Greetings — Quickbeam here.
It is the most challenging Brain Bender Contest we’ve ever had– and the grand prize is a beautiful ‘Lord of The Rings’ British Millennium Edition (with a CD of Professor Tolkien reading poems and songs). I must admit that I delight in the complaints that the questions are too hard. What did you expect; the Regis Philbin school of watered-down Tolkien trivia? No, my little goslings, this is going to take some effort!
Please note the deadline for entries is quickly approaching: Thursday night, 7 September 2000. Join the fun by clicking here.
Much too hasty,
Quickbeam

Attention Hall of Fire folks! Here’s the next topic:
A Day with a Tolkien Character
If you could spend one day with any Tolkien character who would it be and why? Would you hang with Haldir and learn how to make Elvish ropes? Or maybe you’d go digging with Dain, galloping with Gandalf, or forging with Feanor.
From the Silmarillion to the Return of the King, all characters included. Would you visit the Maggots for some mushrooms, or stay by Elrond’s side for a spell? Trapse with hobbits? Slink with Gollum? Guide with Aragorn? Ok… you get the picture 😉
Come one come all! And send in any future topics or suggestions here.
Saturday Chat: 5:30 p.m. EDT [10:30 GMT]
Sunday Chat: 6:00 p.m. GMT [1:00 EDT]
Place: #thehalloffire on theonering.net server; Come to our chatroom Barliman’s and then type /join #thehalloffire.

The ‘Total Film’ article below simplified the story a little – well, it is confusing. One of the guys who stole the videos has been convicted and sentenced to 12 months supervision and counselling. According to NZ’s film industry magazine Onfilm, one of the others (the 35-year-old company director) also accused of stealing scripts, swords, and VHS tapes has denied it. Furthermore, he’s elected for trial by jury. According to Onfilm, Peter Jackson wrote to the judge asking that the name suppression be lifted. However Judge Nicola Mathers said that publishing his identity could lead to publicity out of proportion to the offence. Well, he’d be all over the Net, so that’s certainly true.
The accused is currently overseas.
There was a third person involved in this; he was accused of money laundering. I have no updates on him.
