From HollywoodReporter.com: Echoing Gollum’s covetous cries of “My precious!” fans of “The Lord of the Rings” are competing with one another over the precious few tickets to New Line Cinema’s special marathon showing of the “Rings” trilogy, scheduled for Dec. 16. [More]
Speaking for the many “rabid fans” who also contacted TORn, the “angry e-mails” weren’t about not getting tickets, but about not having a *fair shot* at tickets. Misinformed theaters, changes in announced sales processes, and nearly no-limit sales (and yes, too few theaters) is what led to unhappy fans, not lack of a ticket. If it were indeed an initiative to “pay back the fans,” then there seems to be little reason to restrict not only the number of theaters, but even the number of showings. What instead happens is a large number of fans unhappy on a day everyone has long looked forward to.

I work for *snip* and yesterday I got the opportunity to watch a friend playing The Paths of the Dead-level of the upcoming EA ROTK game. It looked great, and the king of the Dead was quite scary indeed, as Aragorn battled him in a giant cave inside the mountain, a cave “where the dead gather”, according to one of Legolas’ lines.
However, the main reason I’m writing you is that I got a sneak peek at some press information that said that the magazine was not allowed to publish screenshots of these bosses: The King of the dead, Shelob, The Witchking and Sauron’s Lieutenant. I guess this means that a beefed up Mouth of Sauron will be the end of game boss, as well as “the big thing” Aragorn is rumoured to be fighting outside the black gates.
I have visited your great site every day for more than three years, and I do hope that this information is valuable to you.
