Haarfager sends in this report on the Bogart television program that was on Danish television.

The other night there was a ‘Bogart’-special (Bogart is a show about new films whwre they don’t rate the films by giving thm stars. They get hats! (Like Bogart’s hat in ‘Casablanca’). They had a critic from a newspaper who was a sceptic before he saw the film. They had the chairman of the Danish Tolkien Society and they had a ‘film expert’ (the former critic on ‘Bogart’ who can be quite a tough reviewer). The newspaper guy loved the film as a supplement to the books. He gave Harry Potter a hard time when he compared the two. The Tolkien Society guy (who seemed a bit nerdish) liked the film but missed the peace that is found in the books (Rivendell, Lorien etc). The ‘expert’ absolutely loved the films.

They showed the clips of Frodo and Gandalf in Moria, Strider in Bree, Boromir on Caradhras, Gandalf and Frodo in Bag End, Frodo’s ‘leap for life’ to the ferry and the trailer as we know it + a few interviews. It was a well made show, though the Tolkien Society guy really didn’t give the impression that fans of LOTR are anything but nerds. Generally the reviews have been five thumbs up for LOTR:FOTR!!! (And I’ve got tickets for the 19th…)

Dajuid writes: I noticed your mentioning of FOTR being mentioned on SNL. Just wanted to let you know that it was actually given a review by a character portrayed by Michael McDonald. He gave it RAVE reviews and used cast and character names to embellish his review.

Spirit gave me this address in Barlimans which discusses if AOL will try to cash-in on the Fellowship of the Ring’s success by radically shaking up it’s release date amongst other things. [More]

With the release of the Fellowship of the Ring, it’s easy to forget about the more important things in life like friends, family and loved ones. If anything, the events that took place near the end of this year reminded everyone just how important it is to love and be loved by the cherished people around you while you still can, something which the spirit of the Holiday is about. This season, TheOneRing.net hopes that no matter what religion you believe in or what race you are, that you have a happy holiday and find joy not only in Peter Jackson’s Fellowship of the Ring, but with life and the people you spend your Holiday with. Seasons Greetings to each and every human being out there, and many happy returns.
