Beyond this point there be spoilers!

Don't say we didn't warn you! Spoilers are what this thread is all about. So bring your rumors (substantiated or not!), spoilers, spy reports, and bones of contention about them here as the snippets of TTT news, photos and interviews come rolling in.
I wouldn't even recommend pinging people to this thread unless you know they want to see them. There are a lot of purists out there that hate to have anything given away before the movie comes out. I, however, am not one of those.
I will start a "TTT spoilers ping list" separate from the other Tolkien ping lists… so let me know if you want to be on the spoiler alert list!" If we use this thread for that kind of stuff, we won't shock people who don't want to see it. (though I bet they look anyway!)
Report 'em if you got 'em!
I have some things calling my name too... Some I will buy... some I would hint to the appropriate parties who might be wondering about Christmas gifts for HairOfTheDog!
My first collector-geek purchase will be the leaf clasp pin for the Lothlorien cloaks. (Lord of the Rings Merchandise Shop: Jewelry)
I am drawn to the idea of owning Narsil.... not quite sure why. But I want it with a scabbard, and they don't have that, only a wall mount. They have just come out with Aragorn's ranger sword with the scabbard, and it is very nice! (The Ranger Sword from Last Legend
Can you believe it? The first reviews for the movie will be out at the end of the month! This month!
I'm getting all excited again! Deja vu!
Complete list of how TTT will differ from the book.
Complete list of how RoTK will differ from the book.
Hair asked me to post these over here. Could someone ping the Spoilers? Thanks. ;^)
See above! Spoiler alert! 
Last of the Mohicans music cuts in as we begin to see the ending montage of scenes from The Two Towers and Return of the King. (looking at my notes here I see that I’ve scribbled “EPIC!!!!!!!”) We see Eowyn standing by herself looking into the distance as the camera pulls away from her. Wow. A close-up of Denethor looking truly decrepit. We see Aragorn being fitted with armor and Elrond giving him a reforged Narsil. Sam yells “that’s for my old gipper!” [I think he meant "Gaffer", but doing it for the Gipper would be OK I guess ;~D - Hair] We see the Elves going into battle. Stuff from Helm’s Deep. We see Theoden speaking. (No Treebeard or Lurtz). Sam speaking to a thoroughly tired Frodo “I can’t carry the Ring.. but I can carry you”. The footage ends with Frodo putting on the Ring saying “I will not destroy it! The Ring is MINE!”
Egads! Fetch my meds! - Those scenes sound wonderful!
Does it get more heartbreaking than that?
