Anna writes: And so a new school year is about to begin…(ack!!!) And with the smell of new books and the lightening of students’ wallets comes a more welcome surprise. On September 1st at 8.30pm on the Lower Field of McGill University (just inside the Roddick Gates), there will be a free showing of “The Return of the King”.
Abdullyne (and many others) write: I was watching the closing ceremony yesterday on US network, NBC, and thought I heard some strains of the LOTR soundtrack. I heard the beautiful Minas Tirith theme loud and clear. It was during the segment on the Greek athlete, Kyriakides’ career.
An unprecedented response to a questionnaire on The Return of the King has meant an international study on media coverage and audience reaction to Peter Jackson’s film will take several more months to complete. About 25,000 people around the world – more than double the number expected – completed a detailed questionnaire available on the Internet about the film. [More]
