A few tasty treats for “filling up the corners” before the big wash of Return of the King reviews!
- Tookish’s Ticklers are sure to give lots of belly laughs!
- Two Special Guest articles continue our “Science of Middle-earth” series and Part Two of “What Tolkien Saw!”
- Moon Letters provide some sweet poetry delights!
- A new Tribute by author Lillian Stewart Carl!
And the coup de grace, as they say, is Quickbeam’s review of The Return of the King! He’s one of those lucky press dogs who got to see it before the rest of us Average Joe and Josephines!
Watch out for reviews from the rest of the staff before the end of the month! Happy holidays!

Dominic Monaghan bares all
The LOTR promo-train made a stop in Germany tonight. The entire gang of stars and creative talent alike arrived for the ‘Return of the King’ premiere in Berliin. Take a look at some of the first photos from Reuters and AP. [More]
This has got to be a record, it seems The Return of the One Party tickets SOLD OUT in a mere 15 minutes!! All the pending buyers will need to be approved by the admins and processed. We reached our maximum capacity VERY quickly, and then some. We will be placing the people who tried to get tickets after the initial limit on a waiting list.

1st my concern about Return of the King: There were quite a few scenes where the characters were speaking in Elvish and there were no english subtitles on display. I’m not talking the obvious lack of subtitles when Aragorn says “Thank You” in elvish. I’m talking about major sequences (ie: multiple sentences) between Aragorn & Elrond, and another scene between Elrond & Arwen.
The Sir Ian McKellen Report: We were treated to a wonderful 60 minute discussion with Sir Ian McKellen, and he was charming! The highlight of the interview came when Ian was asked to perform some Shakespeare “on the spot”…he was very game and did a great job.
The Movie Showing: The highlight of this evening was to see Return of the King with others who love this epic film as much as I do. The audience was so excited, clapping & laughing & crying. It was a wonderful experience. Shelob’s lair is better than the book, in my opinion!
