| new fantasy after rings, empire goodies, and apologies... |
| 01.22.04 (10:45 am) [edit] |
Interesting article here. It's funny how suddenly the long, dead on arrival genre of fantasy films is now consider a box office hit maker. Very weird and kinda creepy for us fantasy fans who were perfectly happy with being weird, kooky people totally obsessed about things others didn't understand.
I don't like it.
Anyway, if you are feeling the need for some actual LOTR things to look at, pick up a copy of the January issue Empire magazine, the popular English film mag. You can get it at Borders and Barnes and Nobles, I believe.
It's got some lovely single pictures of the cast with the ring. Very lovely. The Orlando picture decorated my other blog on Orlando Bloom's birthday last Tuesday.
Anyway, I'd like to apologize for the absence, Chaz has been in France for two weeks now and is having to much fun bar hopping and wine tasting to post anything.
I am just lazy and busy.

| Ringwraith and Bagenders... |

Sometimes you encounter crossover or alternate-universe fanfics in which the Internet or TV or some other modern innovation (e.g., hair dryers, usually in conjunction with Pretty Elves) exists in Middle-Earth. So here's my flippant off-the-cuff list of...
Top Ten Advantages of Introducing Modern Technology to L.O.T.R.
Warning: possible spoilers.
10. Shampoo, electric razors, deodorant. Enough said. (Excepting Legolas, who doesn't appear to need these.)
9. Text message from Gandalf to Frodo: "It's OK, I'm alive. U guys in Mordor yet?"
8. Voice of Saruman could probably be shouted down with bullhorn.
7. Mithril vest for one member of Fellowship: good. Kevlar vests for all nine members of Fellowship: better.
6. Shock collar on Gollum would ensure he couldn't go sneaking ahead.
5. Cell phone call from Theoden to Eomer: "Yeah, we need you to turn around and come meet us at Helm's Deep. Right now. Oh, and bring the tank."
4. Anti-aircraft artillery very effective against flying Nazgul.
3. Shelob's Lair much easier to navigate with night-vision goggles.
2. Swords and Light of Earendil: good. Giant can of Raid sprayed directly into spider's eyes: better.
1. Attach Ring to atomic bomb. Have Gwaihir-the-eagle drop it on Mount Doom. Problem solved.
Feel free to suggest others. Granted, there would be serious disadvantages too - imagine if Sauron and Saruman got hold of heat-seeking missiles or whatnot. But this is just for fun, so let's not get too heavy

| TOLKIEN BIRTHDAY! |
| 01.03.04 (7:45 am) [edit] |
:Chaz and Kitfox sing:
"Raise a glass to the Professor!
He's got hobbits and men,
kings who have been,
elves that a purdy,
and never get dirty,
and we'd read it all over again! Hey!
OHHHHHHHHHH!
IT'S TOLKIEN'S 111th BIRTHDAY!
Hooray!"
:do a hobbit dance:
