Ahriell writes: Following last year’s report when Bret McKenzie (aka Figwit) visited the Scottish Fellowship at the August dvd party we had, the same is happening this time round.
I am Ahriell, the founder of the Scottish Fellowship, and on Saturday the 9th we have another one of our famed dvd parties, and once again, Bret mcKenzie will join us.
The Scottish Fellowship, as well as being a very active unofficial lotr fan club, is very successful at raising funds for a Scottish Charity, the Hebridean Whale and Dolphin Trust. Bret has helped us a lot in the fundraising by signing items which were then auctioned to members. We have named/sponsored 5 dolphins so far (P.J., Figwit, Tristan, Pippin and Smeagol!) which means we have raised 500GBP so far.
Bret is once again at the Edinburgh Fringe festival, with his comedy partner Jemaine Clement, they are collectively known as Flight of the Conchords.
A full report next week!

Irascian writes: The latest issue of SFX (September) leads its news pages with reports from Comic-Con with the New Line panel headlining (scans attached). Most telling (or worrying?!) quote from Andy Serkis: “I’m looking forward to where the character [Gollum] is going to take them [the audience]. Because I think they think they know what’s going to happen to him, bu they’ll have a few surprises in store.” And Richard Taylor is quoted as saying of the third movie “It is easily two times more epic than film two. It will be the largest, most complex movie ever made”. For Orlando Bloom fans the same issue has 7 pages on “Pirates of the Caribbean” and an ad for the October issue (out on September 6th) that will apparently put Return of the King centre-stage with “everything you need to know about the final part of Peter Jackson’s Middle-earth masterpiece!” [More]
