Here are the pictures and a slightly more detailed report from the Montreal Line Party on December 19th, 2001. [More]

I went to my fourth viewing of the film with my brother last night. I was very excited when I realized the tickets we had purchased were for the IMAX screen. Unfortunately, after viewing the film, I have come to the conclusion, wider is NOT better. Unlike the other three times I saw the film, I couldn’t follow the action sequences at all. The viewing area was just WAY too big. So my suggestion to Ringer fans out there, avoid the IMAX LOTR:FOTR. Just my two cents.

Antonia thought Viggo fans out there would like to know that Virgin.net have posted an interview with the Aragorn star. [More]

TORn staffer Arathorn and Gothmog and Wife send word that tonight the Tolkien biography on a special edition of the UK BBC2 programme Omnibus at 18.45 GMT…a little under 20 minutes from now!
