Well, if we are going to make 300 posts per day, we will but up to 10,000 posts by the middle of next week, and the ultimate 65K post limit somewhere around the time that The Two Towers opens, assuming that there is no increase in posting as the great day gets near.

assuming that there is no increase in posting as the great day gets near.

A mistaken assumption, I'd say! I'm a loyal lurker, but as the buzz builds for TTT I expect I won't be able to contain myself from posting. I'm sure others will feel likewise!

BTW, the first hard cover book of the art of the FOTR movie is out now. Coffee table book, $30, stunning and wonderful. First book, I believe, to show for example the design stages that the Balrog went through. Originally, they were visualizing him as more manlike. Lots of other interesting tidbits and tales from the Weta and costume folks.

Another part I found interesting, PJ said the design of the cave troll was supposed to look like a human baby, only huge and monstrous. Supposed to suggest a kind of innocence harnessed for evil by the much more consciously evil orcs. Interesting angle. He said he was even hoping that viewers would feel a kind of sadness at the cave troll's demise. I didn't really, but now through the prism of this statement of PJ's I can see how I might have. Something else to think about when I watch the DVD!
