    I'm going to this movie opening night and I'm very excited I saw an ent in a preview the other day and I'm excited, though anytime I see lord of the rings now I keep thinking about the MTV video awards version with jack black

    "Elron:do you have the ring. Jack Black:yes, I have the ring, see thing is last night me and my buddies had a little too much meed, and ug we ended up at the piercing parlor, and uh long story short ~drops pants~ Boromir:it is a gift. jack black:your damn right it's a gift, it's called a prince albert, and it's MY PRECIOUS"

    Man, you guys need wedgies. I will be a kickass movie but you will get what's coming to you if I see you in costumes outside the theater.

    Gee, you don't think the fact that Ian Mckellen has second billing in the film might be a bit of a tip-off?

    Everyone else is posting links and karma whoring(one, the other, or even both) so I'll join them!

    Slashdot.org has links to an article, plus comments with links to other sites giving even more information on LOTR:TTT.

    Slashdot comes in one size and is _not_ quicktime! Sorry!

    So can someone tell me, why is Japan always the last place on earth to get these movies (by over a month in the case of LOTR TTT; better than 6 months I suppose...)?


    It's revenge. Revenge for Japan getting all the cool toys years before we do.

    I still can buy a Toshiba Libretto without spending an arm and a leg.

    Lords of the Rhymes:

    I'm Gimli and I'm a fuckin' dwarf
    Killin' motherfuckers from the south to the north
    That's not Mirkwood I'm chopping with my battle axe
    And I'm on an orc stampede like Shadowfax

    I think things like this need to be encouraged as much as possible. They have an MP3 download. And they also sample the immortal Ballad of Bilbo Baggins by Leonard Nimoy.

    That's what I used on my brother, who asked the question (even though he claims he was "reading the books") after the ending of "Fellowship of the Rings."

    Except he caught that I was mincing words and then asked "what about Gandalf?" So ... oh well.
