From Robert.L.F:

I hadn’t seen anything posted, but last Friday I picked up the latest issue of Starlog and there were 2-3 page interviews with both Ian Holm AND Liv Tyler. There were a few good pics as well. If I can get access to a scanner, I’ll see if I can get you some scans.

IGN’s running a poll on the hotest games of this year. While no LOTR games are slated for release this year, there are a good deal of Xbox games listed (the company we are anticipating to release at least one LOTR title next year), not to mention titles like “Harry Potter”, Frodo’s arch rival.

Sick of having “the media” tell you what’s hot and what’s not? Well, here’s your chance to make a difference. We have assembled a listing of the most popular and best games of 2001 for all gaming platforms, including home consoles, PC and Game Boy Advance. As you can see, the list includes games that are already out as well as games slated to be released before the end of the year. [More]

Tastier than candy corn… Enjoy the new October Green Books:

Anwyn’s Counterpoint rebounds a tirade of readers who agree/disagree with Anwyn: “Fallout.”

Turgon’s Bookshelf concerns the serious altering of Tolkien’s work for the movie: “What I Fear Most About Peter Jackson’s Films.”

Tookish’s Ticklers: If you want funny, we’ve got funny. Comics, wacky Top 10 Lists, jokes and songs for all.

Huzzah! Enjoy 19 new Questions & Answers, including:

• A Shakespeare/Tolkien connection?
• Saruman’s double treachery?
• Why summon the Elves to Valinor?
• What provoked the Balrog?
• What is the destiny of Hobbits after death?
• Why leave a note on the mantel?

I just carved out a huge pumpkin in the likeness of Círdan the Shipwright — and yes, I gave him a beard. I don’t care if Elves don’t have beards: Círdan does! Happy Halloween kiddies!

Much too hasty,
Quickbeam

If you live in LA and you have some time in the next few weeks, get your butt over to The Puzzle Zoo, on the Third St. Promenade in Santa Monica. The Puzzle Zoo has a completely unique store display, built for them by the folks from Sideshow/WETA Collectibles. The display is absolutely gorgeous.

The thing that grabs your attention is the large scale model of a Troll (turned to stone by Gandalf in The Hobbit) reaching out at passers by on the sidewalk. The troll’s finger-tips are pressed against the glass. Next to his head, is a large layout of the Sideshow/WETA Collectible offerings. While they display objects from series 1 to 3, not all of them are currently for sale. However, you can purchase all of series 1, right now at the official SideShow/WETA website.

Green Books Writer Quickbeam and his friend Robert had a chance to visit the store and take some pictures. So Enjoy!
