Team GladBlad (having placed themselves nr. 1-4 in the queue), are reporting live from the event via notebooks and and cellular networking (9.6 Kbps rules! :-). Visit GladBlad and see what happens when geeks goes outside." The other LOTR news I know of is a description of the journalistic teaser trailer. Salon seems to have liked what they saw.

    I mean really, can't they find something better to do with their lives than obsess (and I will say obsess, because this is getting very bizzare and single-minded) about a movie that is being made from books that they have almost certainly already read (several times)?

    I think when people keep telling me that American culture is going down the tubes, all they would have to do is point me to this as evidence and I would be pretty well convinced.

    Yeah, poor form replying to your own post... but *READ* my post, the main point was *ON TOPIC*, yet, true to form, it was modded as *OFF TOPIC*...c'mon.

    Talking about the *draw* of LOTR, Rocky horror picture show et al was and is one of those *INEXPLICABLE* things in life to those on the "other side".

    How was that offtopic? Topic == LOTR, reply talked about "LOTR"...off topic how?

    Like I said...FW moderator out there.

    IF, and that should be said again **IF** my **ENTIRE** post is offtopic/troll, shit mod it as such...this post and my previous were not.

    READ the MODERATOR's GUIDELINES...sheesh.... **I HAVE, FW moderator, HAVE YOU?**
