Ringer Staffer Arwen2 has sent along the latest news on the Los Angeles Birthday celebration taking place on Sunday. [More]
Month: September 2002
Ringer Staffer Arwen2, one of the lead organizers for our Los Angeles Birthday Celebration, sends along these two final notes:
1) for Ringers coming from Hollywood: apparently Los Feliz Village’s Annual Street Fair is on Sunday from 11am to 5pm on Hillhurst Avenue. When driving on Los Feliz Blvd you are likely to experience increased traffic. For directions please refer to our earlier post here.
2) A great number of Ringers will be attending the picnic (almost 100!) – so there definitely won’t be enough picnic tables and benches to seat everybody. Again, we recommend you bring picnic blankets (or portable chairs if you prefer).
For complete details on the party, check out our earlier post. [More]
This is going to be a party of special magnificence! 🙂

No – this is completely untrue (in regards to recent internet rumors, about a severe cut to the UK edition -Xo). The ‘extended version’ of the film has already been seen and passed ‘PG’ uncut. The extra material doesn’t contain any additional violence beyond what was in the film itself – most of the extra footage is extra dialogue and narrative exposition. It may not yet be shown on our website, but this is probably because we are still waiting for the packaging to come in for approval. As for DVD extras, two have received cuts – one to remove uses of “f***ing wanker” that would be unacceptable at ‘PG’ and one to remove a sequence in which a character announces that, after a drunken visit to a piercing parlour, the one Ring has been attached to his *****. Clearly this was unacceptable at ‘PG’ and these extras have therefore been removed. the company were offered a ’12’uncut for the extras but preferred to cut for ‘PG’.
