Just a short mention of LOTR:FOTR in Teen People Magazine. Also to add, Orlando Bloom (Legolas) will be mentioned in the February issue as ‘New Talent’ due to come out in early 2002. I will send along the pics of him in the article before the issue comes out.

After the blow to Russian Lord of the Ring fans early last week when it was revealed they would not receive the Fellowship of the Ring until February 7th, it seems Brazilian fans will also suffer a release changed as Warner Brothers have confirmed on their website that the first installment in the ‘O Senhor Dos Anéis” trilogy will not be out until January 1st, 2002.

Thanks to Jeanpasc for letting us know about this.

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,
