BBC‘s teenage-orientatead news show Newsround this afternoon showed various interviews between their correspondant and the cast of The Two Towers. Most of the footage shown was light-hearted stuff, from Liv Tyler’s disgust at thinking of Orlando Bloom as a sex-symbol, claiming she thinks of him as her little brother, and Billy Boyd giving Orlando Bloom plenty of stick along with cohort Monaghan.

On Friday, December 13 at 6 p.m. EST (11 p.m. GMT), TheOneRing.net is pleased to host a chat with renowned Tolkien scholar, Douglas Anderson, editor of “The Annotated Hobbit.”
This newly revised and expanded book is an exhaustive look at the sources for, influences upon, and alterations to Tolkien’s “Hobbit.” In addition to the full text and annotations, there are over 150 illustrations — including many of Tolkien’s own creation.
Anderson’s own early readings of “The Lord of the Rings” set him upon a path of medieval and mythology studies and a life-long interest in Tolkien’s publishing history. His other works include J. R. R. Tolkien: A Descriptive Bibliography (1993) with Wayne G. Hammond.
As Anderson wrote in tribute to the professor, “Tolkien’s writings have occupied a large part of my mental landscape for nearly thirty years, and I expect that they shall do so for another thirty years, as I continue to study the man and his writings, and learn new ways to appreciate various aspects of his creative genius.”
Please join us for what promises to be a most interesting examination of Tolkien’s first published work. To participate, join Barlimans and then type /join #thehalloffire. Further connection help can be found [Here]
