One of the best things about running a website like TheOneRing.net is to see how fans express their fandom for the words and works of J.R.R. Tolkien. In the following video, Ringer Rosemary and a few friends combine their fandom with creativity to make a ‘Lord of the Rings’ Rap. Way to go Rosemary!

Tina Stevenson, Community Manager for Warinthenorth.com dropped me a line to let me know about this cool event the dev team has cooked up for you guys.
Tina writes: “We’re have a big part of our team sit down from 2-6 PDT today to watch the ‘Fellowship of the Ring: extended edition’ all together. Luckily, being a game studio means we all have tvs, computers, and dvd players right at our desk. We’ll be chatting along on Facebook with a heavy bent of just fans being fans together.
The main reason we set this up is because the theatrical re-release didn’t come to our part of town, so not many of us got to go… I know it is that way for International fans, and a lot of other folks as well.”
Be sure to head on over to their Facebook page for the details…happy viewing!
On this special edition of J.W. Braun’s bookshelf, J.W. looks at every Lord of the Rings DVD and Blu-ray set, including the collection hitting store shelves later this month! [Michael, this is a special video that’s meant to be shared with fans sometime between now and next week – it should be about 14 minutes long. And then I’ll take a mini vacation in July before returning with another “bookshelf” installment in August.]
This story just reaks of the foul craft of Saruman trying to disrupt The Hobbit production:
Firefighters are tonight working to contain a toxic “sludge” leaking at The Hobbit studios.
They were called this afternoon to Stone St Studios where the Hobbit is being filmed after contractors noticed a gas-like smell coming from a trench in which they were working.
The workers had been digging in the ground when they hit the foul-smelling sludge. They immediately called the Fire Service.
Fire Service acting assiantant area commnader Mike Dombroski said the leak was being treated as a “hazardous substances” incident. Emergency services have poured concrete to stabilise the trench to prevent the sludge further seeping from the ground and entering the area’s stormwater system.
Joking aside, we hope there are no harmful long term affects on the region! And since Weta was on hiatus this week, we don’t believe this actually has any affect on the production. [Read on] Thanks to Ringer Michiel from DeHobbit.net for the heads up!
