Saur, ain't nothing wrong with being a SW geek or a LOTR geek!

I've only acheived overzealous fan status in both though. I haven't progressed to geek.

ok, so I know a -little- of the tongue of Mordor, but that's just because I was an Orc in Ultima Online... damn, that's geeky too! oh well!

see ya in SWG beta!

Thanks Puke! and no, getting older just means I'll get even better at shooting Mongrels down!

ROFL... must be too young to remember the "real" movie houses. Huge art-deco places with balconies and giant screens and DOUBLE FEATURES.

(I'm dating myself... gotta go )

Last month's (maybe 2 months ago) popular science ran an article on the animation for that movie. It was a very interesting article.

All 10,000 soldiers were individually modeled, with action / response programmed into each of them. Er... that is to say... each character individually responds to the immediate situation across the whole battle.

Some really cool stuff.

Guys, I have been looking for a quote in english/elvish, and maybe you can help me (seeing that there are some uber nerds in here).

The quote is something along the lines of

"The world is changing, I can see it in the sky, I can feel it in the earth, I can smell it in the air."

I love that one, but I dont remember where I read it, and now I cant find it.

I just got back from seeing the 7:30-10:30 showing here....and I'm left speechless. All I can say is it has been the best damn movie I have seen since LotR:FotR last year. I'm going to see it again tommorrow.

Spotted the hobbits (forget their real names) round the corner from work yesterday... think they were hitting MacD's or something before the premier.

The guy I work with was a big-bastard-double. You see his hand/arse/back of head a lot. He's 7ft-something tall.

You guys like the NZ scenery? That human-town - the one on the hill - one of my favourite places down in Central Otago. We used to go trout fishing down round that area a lot.

Peter Jackson is a pig bastard. Blatantly rewriting a story that's as close to perfect as possible and so dear to the hearts of many is just plain wrong.

Still, it was a great movie and worth seeing again, but it showed that Jackson has no plans for remaining true to Tolkien. I fear what he'll do to Return of the King. Maybe Aragorn will die and Arwen brings him back to life with a tear and kiss? pfffft
