Lord of the Rings:
Return of the King!
Pictures, spy reports and spoilers thread (ongoing)

Countdown to December!

Larger version of above image here

Beyond this point there be spoilers!

Like spoilers? – Keep reading!

Don't want spoilers? – Click HERE and don't look back!

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 RoTK 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 "RoTK 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!

One tip….. Don't embed images from TORN (TheOneRing.Net) on this thread. If possible, load the image to another server, or just post a link to the TORN page. TORN's servers are powered by fleas I think, and are horrendously slow, particularly when they have something that is particularly good!

I heard others say that about Pirates and Matrix II, that they had too long of fighting scenes. I disagreed. I thought they were fine in length, and coulda been longer without me tiring of them. But I like war movies and battle scenes, if they are done well. So, I'm not worried about ROTK being too war-movied at all. It'll be great, I'm sure!

FMM!!!

This is almost as thrilling as the "Saddam Captured!" post!

[ecurbh]

ACK!! None are working!!

[2Jedismom]

Nope, I can't get it either. When you get it, send it to me as a file on yahoo...

It's unlikely my 56K will get it before you do.

[maquiladora]

I have 30% downloaded, from what I hear from those who has seen it it's getting 10/10 and 9/10 so seemingly this is pretty amazing stuff!

[2Jedismom]

Do you have AOL IM?

[HairOfTheDog]

I know.... They are swamped..... But now that it is out there, it will spring up all over..... we'll have it by nightfall.

[ecurbh]

Update at TORN says New Line asked them to remove the links! FIE!! FIE ON THEM!!

It will turn up somewhere else soon enough. I'll be checking my usual sources.

[2Jedismom]

Surely someone got it!!

[HairOfTheDog]

AAAAAW STICKLEBATS! ROFL!

[2Jedismom]

I got it loading...img.nex is still loading so far...

[maquiladora]

Try this.

[2Jedismom]

Should I back off? Would that free it up for you to get it faster?

[2Jedismom]

Dude, you're an American!

Thank you!

[HairOfTheDog]
