Lawyers are having meetings somewhere.... sending letters.... talking about dollar amounts.

Hmmm... Maybe The Hobbit? But, New Line isn't talking about it?

That would be way cool... if it's true!

It's gotta be a joke.
Paul Andersson is WIDELY hated by fans of genre movies, and is considered a hack director by most.
I'm going to do some poking around, just to be sure, but that's my take on it, I'll get back to Y'all.

Thank you, Miss Hair.

under the direction sci-fi/fantasy director Paul Andersson

Does this mean Jackson won't be working on it?

Yep. None of the major websites which track film developments like Aint it Cool News and CHUD have anything at all, and on something like this, they would.

Also, on the "website", notice the little spot where it says, "major announcement on April 2"? Whaddya wanna bet it'll link to a full-page "APRIL FOOL!"?

Psst.... someone on this thread has sent me some info about possible ways to make cookies from dvds. I'm not sure it'll work right but I'm going to research it.

But if you ever get any Kenshin you have to promise me you'll watch it in Japanese, the English voice actors are really laughable.

Ok, here's something that should give you some idea of what I'm talking about. Some very nice artwork from the anime - it's in a loop, so one image follows another - high bandwidth, I'm sure, so if that's a problem...

How long have we been friends? I have yet to watch any anime in English - a whole episode, in any case. Totoro is the one exception...but that's kinda different, anyway.

BTW, once I took Quicktime out of start-up using msconfig...the fan problems on my laptop went away for the most part. Evil, nasty, loathsome Apple spawn...

Speaking of Japanese stuff, today I was watching Godzilla's Revenge and I noticed that in the beginning sequence one of the monsters makes a noise that sounds almost exactly like Howard Dean's famous scream--I kid you not! :)
