Bad news for NZ Tolkien fans. Seems we’re not to be the first public in the world to see the ‘Fellowship of the Ring’ after all. Roadshow Distributors confirmed today that they would be opening the movie to the public on December the 20th. We’re still planning to organise a party in Wellington for the event, however. Contact Tehanu to put your name on the list!

Parabola (“Myth, Tradition and the Search for Meaning”) is a great magazine that I recently subscribed to, so I was very happy to see Tolkien once again featured within. The piece on ‘foolish Hobbits’ that was mentioned is excellent and gave me yet another way of viewing the Lord of the Rings story. [More]

Pippin Took, Arathorn, and Nob have announced the completion of a three page photo gallery of the wacky antics we call BarliBash 2001. Let the good times roll again! [More]

This evening Extra TV! previewed the top movies coming out this fall. The top two movies by far according to Extra are our very own Lord of the Rings The Fellowship of the Ring, and Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone. Footage included the cover of Premiere magazine featuring Elijah Wood and the “Lord of the Rings” in large print, the “There’s something down there… Elijah Wood (Frodo)” part of the newest trailer, and a quick shot from the first preview of the orcs and the Nazgul riding towards the camera.

Happened to have a day off work today and was flicking through the offerings of the various inane morning talk shows. On one channel I was pleasantly surprised to see the FOTR trailer (first one I think). Turned out that David Wenham (Faramir) was being interviewed about his involvement in the LOTR in conjunction with the impending release of his new movie The Bank.
