Want to get a cool t-shirt and help fund TheOneRing.net’s trip to Comic-Con and DragonCon? As you can imagine, it is quite expensive to send staff to these annual conventions, and this year, more so than others, we can’t fully depend on our staff paying their own way. (TheOneRing.net is a completely volunteer organization – no staffer is ever paid. We depend greatly on your support) In an effort to raise funds, we are selling our ‘Lake town Archery Club’ shirt as well as some other odd size shirts we found in the TORn attic remnant. Click on the ‘continue reading’ button below to view the shirt and size availability. And thank you in advance for your generous support of the site! Don’t want a shirt and just want to send a donation? We won’t argue with you! Our PayPal email is webmaster @ theonering.net.

WETA founder Richard Taylor and Daniel Falconer judge the costumed finalists live. The surprised winner gets an all expenses paid trip to the set of the Hobbit in New Zealand!
Well folks…the journey is complete. Last night, the final film in the trilogy screened in the US and NZ. Now we are left with our brand-new, excessively high-quality Blu-Ray sets to satisfy our LOTR needs. But before we leave the trilogy screenings in the dust, let’s take a moment to thank Warner Bros. and Fathom Events for making these screenings available to the US market. Wouldn’t it be great if they did this once every few years? And if they could arrange for international viewings as well? We’ll work that angle and report back! Just like with the extended editions of FOTR and TTT, we are looking for your reactions to seeing The Return of the King Extended Edition on the big screen. Please feel free to send those reports to spymaster@theonering.net and make sure to include your theater name and location. Below are the first few that have trickled in this morning.

Middle-earth Madness lived up to its name last night as hundreds of fans gathered at the Best Buy in Los Angeles, CA to celebrate the release of The Lord of the Rings Extended Edition Trilogy on Blu-Ray. Actors John Noble (Denethor) and Sala Baker (Sauron) signed copies of the Trilogy as fans snatched up the brand new high-def version of the films.
Nicole Roberts walked away with the Grand Prize trip to New Zealand with her inspired and creative ‘Showgirl Balrog’ costume. (pics below) As you will see in our photo gallery, the competition was challenging and we’d like to thank all of the contestants for their talented entries! Nicole’s costume was judged as the best by Academy Award Winner Sir Richard Taylor of Weta Workshop with help from Lead Designer Daniel Falconer. (We recently interviewed Daniel here)
The LA wing of TheOneRing.net staff was out in full force, and for those of us who could not attend, we’d like to thank them for their tireless efforts to make everything go smoothly! These volunteers spent nearly 15 hours yesterday! So a special thanks to Quickbeam, Cathy, Josh, Suvi, Justin, Peter, Alyse, Catherine, Michael, Echo, Alex, David and Cat from Alleycatscratch.com!
We’d like to thank Warner Bros. Home Entertainment, Weta Workshop and Best Buy for making this event possible!

Relive the conclusion of the epic film trilogy with hundreds of devoted fans like yourself. Like FOTR and TTT before it, seeing ROTK on the big screen is something not to be missed! For those of you attending a screening, don’t forget to email us when you get home. We would love to know about your experience and feel free to send us some photos. You can email them to spymaster@theonering.net . We’ll try our best to post as much as we can. Or, if you are on Facebook, share your photos and stories on our wall.
Enjoy the show and don’t forget that trivia and other fun stuff start around 6:30pm. And for those of us who are not near a theater showing the Extended edition, plop in the DVD at home tonight and follow right along! [TORn on Facebook] [Buy Tickets]
