Are you desperately trying to figure out what exactly a “hobbit” is? Are you stumped when people ask whether you think Gollum is a victim or a villain? Do you feel left out when your friends discuss the love triangle of Aragorn, Aarwen(SIC) and Eowyn? If so, chances are you’ve been living under a rock for the past three years and are on the outside of one of the most significant movie subcultures since the “Star Wars” trilogy: “Lord of the Rings” mania.

PR writes: New Line Cinema / Warner Bros. decided yesterday (12/9) to pull from theatrical release of Lord of the Rings:Return of the King from IMAX Theatres planning to show the film on their 35mm projection systems. Contracts were signed, thousands of tickets were sold! No reason was given from New Line.
No confirmation on this, if anyone knows more send some information along!
Michael Caine, who will play Alfred the butler in the upcoming new Batman film, told SCI FI Wire that director Christopher Nolan is eyeing Lord of the Rings star Viggo Mortensen to play the villain in the film, which is slated to begin production in April 2004. In an interview, Caine wouldn’t specify which villain role Mortensen (Rings’ Aragorn) is up for. [More]

Lea writes: Hey guys! Just wanted to give you the skinny on the clip which premiered during tonight’s episode of Smallville:
Frodo and Sam and struggling up a cliff; Frodo manages, with great difficulty, to wrestle himself onto a ledge. Gollum helps him up, all the while whispering to him about how the “fat hobbit” secretly wants to take the ring. He hisses “The fat hobbit will ask for the precious very soon, you will see…” or something to that effect. Frodo is evidently so ill and overtaken by the ring at this point that he believes Gollum’s lie and casts a suspicious glare down at Sam. Both hobbits, especially Frodo, looked appropriately exhausted.
Thanks for the awesome work! Only one more week to go!
