Phyoras caught some coolness on Tribute.ca TV last night, and wants to tell you all about it. [More]
From: Phyoras
Tribute.ca TV (on TorontoStar TV, channel 21 Ontario), aired a 5 minute short on their show tonight (7pm & 12am) concerning FOTR. While the show usually focusses on Trailers, it sometimes has a short feature on a film, and this time it happened to be about FOTR. It was roughly 5 minutes long and showed the 2nd FOTR trailer with interviews throughout from Dominic Monaghan and John Rhys-Davies. Mostly it just mentioned the popularity growing for the film and the interviews weren’t new (they were conducted while JRD and DM were in Toronto for the Casa Loma Exhibit Opening), but they were interesting. John Rhys-Davies says “Best film(s) of all time”, while Dominic Monaghan talks about “Hobbits keeping in touch after the filming”. All the same, it’s worth checking out for anyone who hasn’t seen the interviews yet (which were aired on CTV a week or so earlier). I’m sure it will be repeated for the next week or so!

Hello, friends at Barli’s!!!
It is I, the intrepid sailor-type Bursar, making our world just that much safer from the terrorists that try to destroy our lives.
I am sittng in my workcenter on the USS George Washington, cursing the Internet block that prevents all us lower enlisted folk from the Net, and, unfortunately, Barli’s.
So, I have to talk to y’all through E-Mail. If anyone wants to yell at me, my E-Mail is Hillr@GeorgeWashington.navy.mil
That is, if anyone even REMEMBERS me…..I haven’t been in the place for almost a year now….been kinda busy, what with the whole military thing and all. Life at sea isn’t bad…..but it isn’t very good, either. I miss you all terribly.
Thanx for the E-Mail…this is FUNNY!! I’ve run into a coupla people here on the ship that are envious of my Tolkien Top 10 T-Shirt. They like it, and I have to tell them all about theonering.net and all you wonderful people! Thanx for thinking about me while I am at sea, and please feel free to write to me whenever!!!
Your buddy, The Bursar
