Getting stranded on an inhospitable island with a bunch of nefarious characters and a blood-thirsty beast that lurks in the bushes has turned out to be a good thing for Dominic Monaghan. The British actor acquired cult fame status by playing the hairy-footed Hobbit Merry Brandybuck in the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy. And now his smoldering portrayal as tortured rocker Charlie on ABC’s “Lost” (tonight at 8) has positioned him as one of the hit show’s breakout stars. [More]

Ringer Spy web nomix writes: “Fans of Bruce Hopkins may be interested to know that the film 1Nite will finally be screened in both Auckland (Nov 28th, 29 at the Rialto) and Wellington on 30th November (at the Paramount). I caught the screening at the Auckland film festival and can honestly say that this movie stays with you. Ok, its obviously shot on a very small budget, at times the colour and sound suffer… BUT… the acting performances are universally good!” Also, Bruce Hopkins and Cameron Rhodes can be seen in the musical ‘A Christmas Carol’ as of last week.

The store is deciding at this time if they will be handing out tickets so that they don’t get overwhelmed with a large line outside their store.
Sean will be in Corte Madera (about 10 miles north of SF, actually) December 11th. This is a new date and location added to his schedule – maybe because he had cancelled his Nov. 19th?
Also, and unfortunately, that is the same day that Alan Lee will be signing books at Booksmith on Haight Street. Actually, the store is too small so it will take place at the library on Page Street (right around the corner). More information will be coming.
