Today is David Wenham’s birthday! David was born on September 21st, 1965 in Sydney, Australia. That makes him 41 years old today! Happy Birthday David!
NinielDW sent this in: One of David’s favourite charities, for which he acts as a spokesperson and fundraiser, is The Wayside Chapel in Kings Cross, Sydney. The chapel provides services, resources, and support to the homeless, abused, troubled, addicted, and other less fortunate members of the community. According to its web site the chapel serves 2,000 people weekly.
If any fans of David’s contributions to the arts feel like making a contribution of their own to celebrate his birthday, the Wayside Chapel accepts donations via its web site, thewaysidechapel.com. You can also learn more about the chapel there, and watch a series of short advertisements narrated by David.

This year the event was held at Somerville college, a serenely beautiful 19th century college with beautiful gardens and shire like flowers growing everywhere. It was a very mild september weekend and wonderful for the events which were held in a tent set up in the main college quad. This tent known affectionately as the Marquis, served as one of the main locations of the lectures and festivities. [More]

The increasingly common habit movie companies have of releasing a bare-bones DVD of a film a few months after its theatrical debut, then revisiting it ad nauseam with special editions, extended editions, limited editions, alternate-version editions, and sometimes just plain re-released editions…But right now, the multiple-dip debate is raging around Peter Jackson’s Oscar-festooned Lord of the Rings trilogy, as New Line Home Entertainment reissues The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King in cool, transparent-window slip-covered cases (or you can get all three in one package) with nearly 6 hours of predominantly new behind-the-scenes footage.
