    The trailer in cinemas now will be released for download on monday. Of course, there is a leaked version which is pretty low quality, but still it is STUNNING.

    Return of the King is going to ROCK!

      Not to threadjack, but... feh. The Twin Towers wasn't particularly good in my opinion. As I go back and look at the FOTR I find it was boring as well. When is someone going to do an interesting modernized fantasy movie like around Dragonlance or the Forgotten Realms world? I just have this issue with these wizards supposedly being so powerful yet never use their magic. Where are the fireballs? Can they at least give us a measily magic missile? Tolkien's wizards are completely weak. Raistlin would've kicked all their asses.

      Oh god, I am such a dork to say that, but it's true.

  7. Offtopic but I need help by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Some of you may know me from my website. I checked my server logs last
    week and observed a lot of traffic to and from /. on my website. I think I am
    a popular and much liked person around here.
    Thank you!

    Okay now to the main reason I posted this comment. It may be slightly OT,
    but I don't know what else to do. The /. editors rejected my submission to
    Ask Slashdot. Ofcourse, I could've suggested a poll option, but I doubt
    that would've made it past them either. So here is what I would like to
    ask, in a nutshell.

    I have been thinking of starting a subscription based service to my
    website. You know the rising cost of living nowadays, not to mention my
    ever increasing bandwidth bills (I'm getting famous!). I have also been
    asked to add flash/animated versions of my popular pictures. I intend to
    read up on some Web page development stuff, or if the cashflow works out,
    even hire a programmer -- my small contribution to the US and world
    economy!

    But to achieve all this, I would need to gather some statistics. How many
    of you would be interested in subscribing to my website for, say,
    $10/month? It's a rough figure, but the details can be worked out later.
    For now, I need to know the general response from you guys -- to see if
    the idea is feasible. It would help if the votes are lined up neatly in
    this thread. Thanks!

    And lastly, any ideas/suggestions/feedback about my website is welcome!

    Thanks again people, looking forward to hearing from you, and keep visiting goatse.cx!

    Well, I can't believe I'm going to bite, but I'll do it anyway. ;)

    See, Tolkien's wizards were probably loosely based upon the mythical wizards from his time: Merlin and others of his ilk.

    Back in the myths, wizards were defined more by their long age, wisdom, and foresight.

    Modern fantasy literature defines wizards as those who wield flashy special effects and blow shit up. Not that I mind flashy methods of blowing up stuff. ;)

    Basically, modern fantasy has done to wizards what Star Wars has done to space movies: more flashiness, less subtlety.

    Again, I'm not ripping on the wizards of Raistlin's ilk, just pointing out how Lord of the Rings is more of a classical fantasy (if such a thing exists). I love it and am absolutely pleased with how the books have translated to film.

    That said, I'd love to see a well-done film adaptation of the Dragonlance stories as well!
