Month: September 2003
WrightWords writes: “Lights! Kiwis! Action!” Westworld travel magazine’s fall edition from the BCAA (British Columbia Automobile Association) embarks on a New Zealand Orc-seeking quest. I like the before-and-after photos of the botany guide-turned-Uruk, and reference to “morsels” Frodo and Sam. Oh, and the chance to meet one of the films’ stars: horse Willy! Elsewhere in the magazine is an ad for a 21-day stay on the islands..oh so tempting! [More]
Starlog Magazine – October 2003
Roheryn writes: The October issue (#315) of STARLOG magazine has several good LOTR-related features. Here are scans of the articles. One, “My Precious…” is an in-depth interview with Andy Serkis. The other, “Translating Tolkien,” is a wonderful chat with Philippa Boyens about the challenge of bringing her favorite book to the big screen. Also included is the cover page of the mag, and a humorous sketch of “The CG Stooges” — Gollum, Dobby, and Jar-Jar Binks. [More]

This image finally made it into my mailbox, I’m a happy clam tonight. Let me explain; for the past few weeks we’ve been getting emails from people claiming that they’ve seen TTT standees with images of Aragorn, Gandalf, The Hobbits…and someone else. They didn’t recognize who it was, or who it was supposed to be. I thought people were seeing things, confusing themselves with other standees or characters. But I did want to see this standee image for myself. To my delight Nils sends along this image. And I really have to ask everyone, The Powers That Be, PJ, anyone…WHO IS THIS?! [More]
Update! Ok…so we learned who this person is…YOU! Yes I say YOU the fan, this was the area where Wal*Mart customers can place their heads in place and have their photo taken with the LOTR stars. So…he’s not Stuart Townsen, Rick Cottontree, or my Uncle Mario…it’s….you 🙂
