Fingolfin I work at a Blockbuster Video and we just received the ‘Origin of the Ring’ documentary. It hits stores on Tuesday 12/4. I don’t consider myself a critic or anything but I just wanted to pass on that this documentary is honestly not worth your time. The main reason I wanted to watch it was because on the back of the box it claims to have interviews with the family of Tolkien. Well, I was very disappointed when the film finally concluded and there were never any interviews shown with Tolkien’s family. Just wanted to let you guys know! Keep it up guys.

This weekend, a new Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring commercial premiered with Saturday Night Live. Well, for those of you who don’t have a year and a half to download the movie version, or can’t find it because the server is down, we have some interesting stills for your viewing pleasure. You might be surprised at what we see in those few quick seconds.
