2/22/03, 10:53 am EST - Xoanon

Elizabeth writes: I'm a member of Britannia, which is a UK mail-order club for buying DVDs. I got the latest catalogue this morning and there is a page of "Pre-Order Titles", one of which is The Two Towers, with a release date of 22nd of August. I've checked the dates for the other items on the page and they all seem to be correct, where they are available. I checked their website and although there is no mention of the date, the DVD is there and can be ordered. [More]

Rose tells me on this thread; Brief and bloody that the author of that article is the subject of a film made a few years ago about the Gulf War starring Sean Bean, titled "Bravo Two Zero".

Woo Hoo! We just got Digital Cable last week so we get BBC America! I'll have to tape it for Clare; she's going over to some friends' house this afternoon. We're fixing to have Tomato Soup and Grilled Cheese Sandwiches for lunch. Her choice for her birthday meal; she's 15 today!

but there was one moment shot in slo-mo that captured Aragorn galloping uphill atop his stately steed, hair streaming across his face as he looked over his shoulder at the enemy closing in. Breathtaking.

Does this person mean that shot when Aragorn looks back at Eowyn when he's riding out to the Warg attack? That is a GREAT shot!
