LOTR:Return Of The King Trailer
noda132 writes "The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King trailer is now available! I just found it on theonering.net. It's only 9mb big, but it's a start." You can also get it from AOL as well. Update: 09/29 20:13 GMT by S : The official site now has the new trailer as well.
800 KB/second! Best trailer download yet! Totally sweet.
Strange, the official lord of the rings site has no info on the new trailer. *shrug*
The anti-salmon
During our summer vacation this year, my wife and I amused ourselves by taking leisurely drives in Ohio and photographing every diamond-shaped highway sign that we saw along the roadsides. (Well, not every sign; only the distinct ones.) For provenance, I also stood at the base of each sign and measured its GPS coordinates.
This turned out to be even more fun than a scavenger hunt, so we filled in some gaps when we returned to California, thereby proving my theorem of producing god-awful movies with over the top budgets who please only sexually dysfunctional nerds and divorced men, which can be found in LaTeX format on my website.
Sincerely,
Donald E. Knuth
Come on you ninnies, it only took me 10 tries to download the file. You can do better then this. Slame the AOL server. Make them earn there money.
Ahh.. The mind what a wonderful trap!
Lego-Las Kenobi: That boy is our last hope..
Yodagorn: No, there is another.

welcome our new Dark Overlord!
If you don't support the MPAA, then why would you see this movie?
You could justify it, I suppose, if you made a donation to some group opposed to it equal to the ticket price, but otherwise it looks like just doing whateve is convenient at the time.
Enthusiasm is very good, but it shouldn't be an end in itself. I find myself unable to fit seeing this, or any Hollywood based movie, into my ethical standards. I would find it even harder to fit paying to see it into my standards, though were I to see it, practicality would probably ensure that I paid.
That said, there is, perhaps, one theater that I might consider seeing it at. In this theater the owner uses one of the billboards to place political statements that I normally agree with, and have never seriously disagreed with. (Also, there was an attempt to drive him out of business a couple of years ago by refusing him access to first run movies, though they seem to have given up on that.) The balence might tilt in favor of seeing it there. But I'm dubious. (I won't know in actuality until a chance occurs.)
I think we've pushed this "anyone can grow up to be president" thing too far.
