Marc Bernardin from Entertainment Weekly writes: I will take any opportunity to see The Lord of the Rings in a full-blown theater, my love for those films is so great. Heck, I almost pilgrimaged to Austin to see it at the Alamo Drafthouse, where they’ll feed you whatever the Hobbits ate — while they’re eating on screen! (Hobbits eat rabbit stew, you eat rabbit stew. Hobbits eat lembas bread, you eat…Ritz crackers, probably. Hobbits gallivant on the bed, you sit uncomfortably in your seat.) More..

Ringer Aleta writes: I attended the One Man Lord of the Rings show last night at the Edinburgh Fringe Udderbelly, written and performed by Charles Ross, and here is my report:
To set the mood for you, the show was performed at the Fringe’s Udderbelly theater – which is a giant steel-framed tent shaped like an upside down purple cow and holds 400 people. There was a party atmosphere all around the Udderbelly Pasture, with hundreds of people milling around cheerfully, each with a large plastic cupful of beer or bottle of water in hand.
