You cannot offer me this Ring…through me it would wield a power too great and terrible to imagine. Do not tempt me, Frodo. – Gandalf

I think you’ll find there’s more to this Hobbit than meets the eye. – Gandalf

I pass the test. I will diminish and go into the West and remain Galadriel. – Galadriel

You are a Ringbearer, Frodo…to bear a Ring of Power is to be alone. – Galadriel

Even the smallest person can change the course of the future. – Galadriel

May it be a light for your in dark places, when all other lights go out. – Galadriel

I have taken my worst wound in this parting, having looked my last upon that which is fairest. – Gimli

You are quick enough to trust the Elves. Have you so little faith in your own people? Yes, there is weakness – there is frailty – but there is courage also, and honor to be found in Men. – Boromir

Amon Hen – the Hill of Sight. They say that all that moves for hundreds of miles around is revealed to one who sits upon the Seeing Seat. Such was the power of the ancients. – Aragorn

From: Frodo Lover

I just got a copy of this months DreamWatch Magazine and it has an interview with Liv Tyler about being in LOTR. It has some really cool pics of Saruman (Lee) some new some old also some of Gandalf and Arwen.

Anyone with that copy of Dreamwatch send it along!

Ringer Spy Aelinwen sends long word about BK vs McD’s merchandise. I’m thinking ‘Fellowship of the Onion Rings’, ‘The Two Woppers’ and ‘Return of the Burger King’….sigh…

Roger Ebert’s required reading The Bigger Little Book Of Hollywood Cliches states plainly that in the promotions war, films sponsored by McDonalds are always expensive, embarrassing failures whereas those sponsored by Burger King are always smash hits.

The deal represents the single largest promotional arrangement New Line has ever reached with a strategic partner, and one of the largest programs ever launched by Burger King Corporation. This program will span more than 10,000 restaurant locations worldwide and parallel all of the groundbreaking elements of the movie itself.

“The imagination and vision with which Burger King Corporation has embraced ‘The Lord of the Rings’ is mirrored in the picture and the promotional plans!” said Polidoro.

“The literary significance of this property coupled with its superior entertainment value and tremendous built-in fan base, make it a smart fit for our global brand. New Line is delivering an epic film that truly delivers what made ‘The Lord of the Rings’ the phenomenon it is today. Burger King Corporation’s approach to blockbuster promotions will make this partnership one of the most significant entertainment events of the holiday season,” said Richard Taylor.
