Seems one of the horses that played Shadowfax is for sale, anyone interested? From the website: This horse is Blanco – the genuine Shadowfax double in the movie Lord of the Rings. He is a Liberty trained trick horse trained by world renowned horse trainer Don Reynolds. He has been used in Hercules TV series filmed in NZ 2004. Credited trainer Wayne McCormack worked on these two films with Blanco. Blanco also worked on commercials and has done live shows. Due to overseas work commitments….a regretful sale of this great horse. [More]

The preceding NFL playoff game is a mere obstacle to be endured before 8 p.m. Nirvana. They have spent the past eight months dreaming about their show. They’ve watched and rewatched the fourth-season DVD collection. They’ve planned “24” parties for Sunday night.

This Saturday (January 14th), Hall of Fire is going to the geek side. Instead of a topic chat, we’ll be hauling out our copies of the Fellowship of the Ring EE DVD, dusting them off and popping them into the DVD player. And after the usual confusion, at around 5.30pm EST we’ll all press play on our individual DVD players and proceed to cheer and jeer (or discuss and argue, if you like!) the finer points of the film.
