Letters have started to trickle in from fans who have seen Xbox LOTR promos on TV, specifically the Cartoon Network…anyone with a spiffy VCR and computer know-how should send that along!

bunny of many colors writes: I was checking out the One Hour Frodo thing on the front page and happened to notice that on the page you linked to there was a link to a celebrity photo auction. The auction is for the 52nd Street Foundation, a New York charity that works with inner city children and helps them put their energy into something creative… like original off Broadway plays. Anyhow, they have two self portraits of Elijah Wood (Frodo) up for auction on Ebay. [More]

According to Jody, Gemtime Jewellers in ChCh. is also selling the One Ring in various forms, so Kiwis can evidently buy it there as well as Michael Hill’s.

Ringer spy Cheeky writes: “Found something interesting last night and wondered if anyone else had noticed it. I was watching the Full-Screen version of Fellowship of the Ring and there it was during Bilbo’s long-expected party! Up until then, I had only watched the Wide-Screen version and this doesn’t show up in that one. After the first firework of the green tree, they bring in the cake and you catch a glimse of Merry dancing along in front of the cake and then he is lost from view in the wide-screen format, but in full screen you get to see where he goes. Merry moves on up to the top part of the screen in a view that is missing from the Wide-Screen version. Merry is up on the stage watching Frodo dance and talking to Pippin. It seems that Pippin is in the band! I was totally surprise to see Pippin on the Hobbit stage behind Frodo and the dancers holding a guitar and drinking a mug of ale. Merry is beside him pointing out toward the dancing. It’s a brief shot from a distance, but I enjoyed the image of Pippin and Merry on the stage looking as though they were maybe plotting the firework theft or just enjoying Frodo’s dancing. I also thought it fitting since Billy Boyd does play guitar. Too bad the shot is missed by most people as you have to watch the Full-Screen version in order to see it. By the time Frodo is pushing Sam into Rosie’s arms for a dance, the stage shot is over so it isn’t very long.”
