He does glow in those shots.... I think they retouched himHe is gorgeous... and "brightening" him up a bit digitally would be easy enough to do, while they're adding in all the other effects.

Slicing the pizza....pouring the pint(s).... We're a little behind here. Just now ordering the pizza
Definitely check into the Blockbuster deal Bear. If you think that a rental is $3-4 bucks and you get 10 (it works for the new releases too), then the DVD is at least $20. You could be spending $24.00 for a $60.00 value. It was worth it for me.

His Royal Highness has gone to Albertsons! I get to check my email! LOL
Gollum will astonish, delight and move you - Cave Troll fans ain't seen nothing yet!
Matthew is going to have a cow. I am going to have a stroke. Halfway through reading this I resisted the urge to start wringing my hands! Oh how much longer???

You won't like this answer, but there is 172 days, 5 hours and 53 minutes left to wait.
"Peter Jackson may be exhausted but is still smiling, even relaxed. He tells me 'It feels like we are making a home movie rather than a blockbuster,'"
[everybody group hug] I think the whole thing is really sweet.

they look almost like ghosts... Well, that's appropriate for Gandalf, certainly... and Shadowfax is supposed to be other-wordly, a "throwback" from when the world was still young...

Good evening all! Home from a fine Italian dinner... and a terribly decadent dessert (a layer of chocolate frosting over a layer of chocolate mousse over a layer of chocolate cake... wonnnnnnnderrrfulllllll)
Everyone enjoying the weekend so far?

I think they must be having fun somewhere, 'cuz they ain't here. Pretty quiet. I am pretty tired myself, so I may hit the couch soon... but I just keep staring at the Pilantir...

I actually still get a few pings over there. But they come mostly from a couple of the more strident "others," and it's just not worth it to freepmail them and ask them not to ping me, cause they'll make it a federal case. But I haven't even gone over there and looked around for several days. Part of me hates that, but not enough to bother with them. I can go elsewhere for those types of "dicussions" without all the hate and venom. -
....and youre a better man for it - Im coming to the conclusion that the argument is unending and there are some intentionally trying to distract others from a holier walk or effective ministries. - I suspect I wont be far behind you.
Leave a light on please -
p.s. I had to check to see if you were ok buddy - I miss your humor

Hello! Just got back, ate dinner (first thing since a yucky cheeseburger at 11) and showered. I got done with work early so I went to the movies! I saw
The Bourne Identity. Unfortunately I enjoyed the book, so...I mean, really! The whole bloody point of the book was that he wasn't Bourne, or a killer, at all! Sheesh, I think the writer of the screenplay read the first three chapters and then wrote the movie from there. Honestly, the first twenty minutes were pretty faithful - aside from Matt Damon being wayyy too young for the part.
I think movies based on books should have a special rating system. "Based on the Book" would go to really faithful movies like LotR. "Something like the book" could go to things like, oh, Jurassic Park, which just had some stuff changed a little. "We read the back cover", however, is most of the rest of book-based movies.
Anyway, so it's Friday. Let's start the party!

Pretty quiet.Well, that's to be expected on a Friday night, I guess. I actually have a little work to do before bedtime, but it's computer work, so I can visit at the same time.

I think they must be having fun somewhere, 'cuz they ain't here. I'm here, sort of. Company just got here so aunt and uncle are trying to rock little one to sleep. He's been in bed and crying since about 9:30 p.m. (EST). Hopefully his uncle can rock him to sleep. He sounds calmer now anyway.

Hair, thanks for posting the story and the photos of Helm's Deep, sounds like all is well in kiwi-land. That was interesting about Orlando Bloom filming "Ned Kelly" guess he is trading in his bow for a six-gun. dvp

Some screenwriters & directors take pride in not reading the book a movie is based on... reading the book would "taint" their "interpretation". Feh.

p.s. I had to check to see if you were ok buddy - I miss your humor Good to "see" you Rev. I wish there was a forum where I could just talk to you guys. But alas, the dark side is very powerful...
