Tom Pipeweed Whillaby writes: Heard a great radio segment yesterday. Steve Brown, nationally syndicated host of the Key Life show, heaped kudos on FOTR and Tolkien. Brown then went on to read a passage from ROTK, in Gollum’s character! Excellent stuff. It’s always good to hear another fan on a rave!

From Pelvidar:
Hi there, love your site. A co-worker came in today and informed me that while he was on the phone last night he saw Peter Jackson on Access Hollywood and they were showing footage of The Two Towers that was going to appear at the end of Fellowship Of The Ring once they replace that last reel.
Of course this co-worker was idiotic enough NOT to hang up the phone immediately and pay his full attention to this interview, so the details were sparse, but I thought you might want to know about this, in case there are any leads you can follow in figuring out exactly what was reported.
