As a fun little impromtu contest we thought we could kill two birds with one stone, have some fun and beat the stuffing out of any new movies that may challenge our beloved LOTR:FOTR. So what did we come up with?
Go see LOTR, send us your ticket stub…win some goodies!
Here’s the plan, it’s extremely simple:
Don’t go see any other movie but LOTR:FOTR this weekend and scan in your movie ticket. You will then be entered in a contest to win:
The Lord of the Rings (Movie Art Cover Book)
And a copy of X-Men on DVD with our very own Ian McKellen.
I will be accepting all submissions from Jan 4 until Monday (Jan 7) at midnight. However you MUST see the film today (Jan 4), Saturday (Jan 5), or Sunday (Jan 6).
Simply scan in your movie ticket and send it to TheOneRing.net at Xoanon’s Ticket Stub Contest
Let’s kill any movie that may try to take our top spot!!

Glass Hammer’s Popularity Skyrockets Glass
Hammer’s “Middle-earth Album” has become an indie hit on Amazon.com. With sales soaring, the five star fan rated album moved to the top 1% of Amazon’s huge inventory. “We’re getting tons of fan mail, and we’ve never seen a Glass Hammer album so well received,” says Glass Hammer founder Steve Babb. “Amazon’s decision to initially bundle our album with The Lord of the Rings Limited Edition Sound Track played a big role in its success I’m sure. But we never expected this kind of response.” Much of Glass Hammer’s “Middle-earth Album” was supposedly “recorded live at The Prancing Pony” and comes complete with a rowdy crowd of singing dwarves, halflings, and other Bree-folk. For all of the details, check the group’s website at http://www.glasshammer.com or purchase the album at here.
