Thanks to everyone who wrote in!
Thanks to ‘Freaky’ for this: “I noticed something in the Hobbiton movie [the download links we gave you yesterday]. After about 2 min and 5 secs, when it’s about Bilbo’s party, you see Sam pushed to go dancing with…Rosy Cotton. Unfortunately it’s impossible for me to get you a still from that shot, but see for yourself.”
Pipped at the post by the Swedes – again! Mikko wrote to say “Finnish release date is going to be on the 21st of December, and the movie is gonna be launched by 55 copies. A huge amount in Finnish scale, if I remember correctly, Phantom Menace was nothing compared to this.”
Lots of speculation on what the Sept. 25th soundtrack release is, but the consensus is that it’s not the soundtrack to the upcoming films. Bet they’ll come out with a great deal of major hype. We did get one “positive sighting” though: According to Free Record Shop in Norway the temporary [provisional?] release date for the FOTR soundtrack in Norway is the 19th of November 2001.
Thanks to Hugo T. Gunnarsson for that!
Thanks to our friends at LordofTheRings.nl we have a link to a downloadable documentary about Tolkien! It’s in two Realmedia files, about 25 minutes long, right here
Thanks to Migi and ArtifEx for that!
UPDATE
Looks like the poll has changed. I can’t believe we lost to a spandex wearing Shelob wanna-be! heh! Oh well…there is always the next poll!

Okay, I have been spending a lot of time updating a subsection of TORN for the last few days, and little did I realize that Lord of the Rings was losing an online fan poll! Call to arms! Its time to show, once again, that Tolkien fans will not be second! Spiderman is beating us folks…that is pretty pathetic. (The poll is in the lower right of the link’s page) [VOTE!]
