Greetings to all speakers of the fair tongues! Tonight we are going to finish up Quenya Nouns, touch upon Sindarin Nouns, and begin to discuss Quenya and Sindarin Pronouns. Our quest for complete sentences is not far from complete now… To participate at 8pm EST tonight, join us in #TheHallofFire. To review last week’s transcript, click [Elvish lesson #3].

TheOneRing.net has arrived in San Diego for the 2003 Comic Con! The set-up process has begun and will continue tomorrow with the raising of a Rohirrim-styled canopy. We will be setting up a few computers for Con visitors to surf TheOneRing.net and chat in our Barlimans chatroom as well as have fans confess their love for The Lord of the Rings in our Tolkien Confessional. If work is a bore, watch the live webcam, updated every 10 seconds, as we construct TheOneRing.net booth. We’ll be sure to wave hello! [More]

After the news broke that Viggo Mortensen’s ‘Hidalgo’ has been pushed back 6 months, fans have been speculating as to the reason why. Here is a rather informative and logical look at the situation. Thanks to Kathleen [More]

Some movie premieres are pushed back simply because the film is a big stinker, but I can’t imagine this is the case with “Hidalgo.” I think it’s likely that Disney moved it for strategic marketing reasons.
Imagine the potential box office for “Hidalgo” in October–BEFORE the Two Towers Extended Edition comes out–versus March, 2004, AFTER ROTK has premiered, out-earned FOTR and TTT, earned New Line a slew of Oscar nominations, and then won the Oscar for Best Picture, etc.?
I think it’s a brilliant move. In March of 2004, Viggo Mortensen will be a bona-fide world-class movie star, far beyond the so-called sci-fi/fantasy “fringe.” What better time to premiere another Viggo “product?”
If the premiere has been moved for some other reason (something related to post-production problems, etc.) I have to congratulate Disney for their good luck. I think they’ll make a heck of a lot more money releasing this film in March than they would have in October.
As a fan, I’m disappointed that I have to wait, but we LOTR fans have learned to be patient. 🙂
