It’s way too obvious and far less imaginative than most VeggieTales adventures, but The Lord of the Beans still cooks up some smiles and laughs – and an uplifting biblical message – as the computer-generated vegetables star in a spoof of the blockbuster film trilogy, The Lord of the Rings. The 27th episode of the best-selling VeggieTales series, released today, features Junior Asparagus as “Toto Baggypants” and Archibald Asparagus as his “Uncle Billboy,” two “flobbits” – the VeggieTales equivalent of J.R.R. Tolkien’s hobbits. [More]

Ringer Unawen writes: Alan Lee at a private reception hosted by the Misty Mountain Smial, Denver chapter of the JRR Tolkien Society. Alan was gracious and granted us 90 minutes of his time prior to a booksigning at the Tattered Cover bookstore for the Lord of the Rings sketchbook. Pat (Altaira on TORN) set this up and kudos are definitely in order! We had a great time at the reception and at the booksigning, lots of “oohs and aahs” from the audience. He was very nice to all of us. [More]
