Hi all! Sorry, haven't been able to post lately. Family reading of LOTR finished up recently - we drew out the last couple of chapters for over a month, because we didn't want it to end. If anyone's curious, I've posted pictures of my little Tolkien fans on my profile page.

We're having a movie night tonight. LOTR, fried chicken, potato chips, grapes, and watermelon. Yum! Gonna let the little ones stay up late to get over any Ringwraith freakies they may get (wouldn't let them see it in the theatre, but since they've heard the book and have blankets to hide under, we're going to let them brave it at home.)

I'm probably the only Hobbit Holer whose never even seen the TT trailer. My PC won't handle the download, and I haven't seen a movie that's had the trailer this summer. And, I don't have DVD, so we're going to be watching the video. My biggest disappointment - just realized it's "formatted to fit TV" and not wide screen. Argh! Guess we'll lose all those panoramic scenes like the opening battle and Rivendell. Oh well. We're going to try to have DVD by November. Ciao all!

You will lose some of the panoramas I guess... but it was not that easy for me to choose between them... I have a very square TV so I lose a lot of size by choosing the wide screen, but I did...

Are any of the additional things included in the VHS? - I would have assumed they would be.

Your movie night sounds like it will be fun!

I hadn't been able to download the TT trailer either... I've seen it a couple of times in the theater this summer, but I'm looking forward to watching the DVD, where we can stop, go back, and slow-motion scenes we want to watch more carefully!

What cute kids! - Your girl has got a lot of hair!

They may get Ringwraith freakies after their first view! - They give me the creeps still when they first appear! And that sound! [shudder!]
