Elfchick7 · 10-04-2003, 06:24 PM

Hey all, I saw the Trailer!!!!!!!!! It is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe that they showed shelob though. *rolls her eyes in dissapointment.* Oh well. I am soooooooooo excited!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sapphire_Flame · 10-06-2003, 10:36 AM

Mmm, apples... I just watched the trailer for the umpteenth time. MAN I CAN'T WAIT FOR THAT MOVIE!!!!!!!! Abedithon le,~*~Aranel~*~

dancing spawn of ungoliant · 10-06-2003, 12:11 PM

Me either, Sapphire! At the very moment I log out I'll go to watch the trailer over and over again...again...again... The scene with the flying Nazguls over Minas Tirith is awesome. I want more stuff like that!

Essex · 10-06-2003, 03:50 PM

Before I start this note, please let me explain that I am not moaning (as this is only my second post!)I've only managed to see the trailer on my laptop (26mb version), I went to see Ned Kelly (in England) and they didn't show the trailer! (stupid cinema)The trailer is great, but I don't know if anyone noticed that hardly (if any) of the dialouge has been taken from Tolkien? I'm not technically a purist, but let's hope we have SOME quotes from the books!I thought the 10 minute 'trailer' on the tt dvd was much better, as it showed the emotional side to the story, which, to be honest, is what ROTK is about. The fighting is to 'give frodo a chance'.Saying all this, I must admit to being brought to tears at Sam's "Nooooooooo!!!!!!!" at the end. THAT was the most stunning piece.PS Do you reckon Legolas is talking about the 'King' of the Dead at the start?

Essex · 10-06-2003, 04:17 PM

Yeah, ok. Just 3 and a half hours worth of tolkien dialouge then please!PS re an ealier post on Shelob's size. To me, in a film, when I see a monster I am much more frightened when they are of a 'human' comparible size.Think of the Jurassic park films. What frifhtens you more. A T-Rex or a Velociraptor?What's the most frightening monster in movie history? I would say the one from Alien. She was a comparible size to Ripley. My point is, if jackson makes Shelob TOO big, I don't think it will be that frightening. To see a 'smaller' spider move and chase Frodo through the tunnels seems to be much more terrifying.

Well, it sort of was, but I knew somehow exactly how it was going to be said, and who was going to say it. In FotR, it was 'eight there are here, yet nine there were set out from Rivendell. Tell me, where is Gandalf? For I much desired to speak with him.' And in TTT it was 'cold be heart and hand and bone, and cold be travelers far from home. They do not see what lies ahead when sun has failed and moon is dead.' It was creepy, but also sort of cool.

Finwe · 10-07-2003, 08:30 PM

I believe Legolas was talking about Sauron, because I'm assuming that Pippin was looking into the Palantir just then, and Legolas being the sharp-eyed, evil-sensitive Elf that he is, sensed that the Dark Lord was "in the camp." Perhaps what PJ's going to do is have Aragorn rush over to save Pippin from Sauron's mental clutches, and in the process, wrench the Palantir to his control. It seems rather dramatic enough.

Sapphire_Flame · 10-08-2003, 11:24 AM

That's a good theory, Finwe. I may have to agree with that; two palantir encounters squished into one sounds like something PJ would do...I'm gonna go on a donut run. Anyone want something in particular? Abedithon le,~*~Aranel~*~

Orominuialwen · 10-08-2003, 06:46 PM

I've seen the trailer 12 times now! I think it's absolutely beautiful, I can't wait at all 'til the 17th. 68 more days to go!!!! Btw, Sappire_Flame, I LOVE anything chocolate!

Gorwingel · 10-08-2003, 11:55 PM

Only 68 days!!! Shocking!!! Were getting close to the two month mark!!!You know... Time flies when you are watching the ROTK tralier over and over again

miellien · 10-09-2003, 12:16 AM

I'm incredibly sad that I may have to wait a full week after release to see RotK. But, orominuialwen, I am close enough to bring you chocolate (if I don't eat it on the way myself ).

Oddwen · 10-09-2003, 09:15 AM

Don't feel sad, Miellien, I had to wait a week to see FotR. *sigh* I even had to wait until I saw the movie to get the soundtrack. But it all worked out okay. *passes around apple crisp*

Elennar Starfire · 10-10-2003, 06:48 PM

What's really sad is that I never saw FotR in a theatre. My parents rented it the first day it was out on video, however. Then I watched it five times in two and a half days.*helps herself to some apple crisp* YUMMY! I can't wait for RotK! To pass the time I am making an elven dress to wear when I go to see it.

Finwe · 10-11-2003, 08:11 AM

I've been passing the time looking for cheap armor on eBay, and making my Ranger/Mercenary costume for RotK and the Renaissance Festival. Time really does fly by.

Sapphire_Flame · 10-11-2003, 10:34 AM

Okay, has anyone else here tried to buy tickets for the Trilogy Tuesday event and found them to be SOLD OUT!? I need to commiserate with some people here.... *sniffle* Abedithon le,~*~Aranel~*~

dancing spawn of ungoliant · 10-11-2003, 11:17 AM

Aww...sorry to hear that Sapphire! Take chocolate cookies. I just noticed that we can soon buy EE of ttt and even RotK is out soon! And that can be an encouraging thought.

Sapphire_Flame · 10-14-2003, 03:10 PM

Thanks, dancing spawn. I do feel a bit better. But it's still so sad...No! I'm not gonna think about that! I'm gonna eat chocolate cookies and look forward to the EV of Towers and the premire of RotK. *hums* Always look on the bright side of life hm, hm hm, hm hm hm hm hm hm... Abedithon le,~*~Aranel~*~

10-14-2003, 03:23 PM

I don't think I can bear the wait! It's just not possible! *grabs a cracker and shoves it hungrily in her mouth so as to contain her rage and discontentment* I've the trailer what seems like a million times to stop from going insane. Then my brother fast forwarded it to make them sound like the chipmunks. You can bet he didn't live to tell the tale.

Frodo2968thewhite · 10-14-2003, 04:45 PM

I hear you!!!!!! I Just keep watching TTT and the ROTK trailor. Then I start thinking about the wait until ROTK in theaters, and then on DVD and video! And what will I do after ROTK is out on EE DVD?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! And...and...and...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *Gathers a handful of crackers and shoves them in his mouth* *Gags on crackers*.......*faints again*

Frodo2968thewhite · 10-14-2003, 04:46 PM

*wakes up* I think I'll make some lembas too!

Aduyuldaiel-MirkwoodPrincess · 10-14-2003, 05:12 PM

im trying to destract my self *grabs a slice of cake* by watching other movies...but my plan isnt working too well. i jus bought the matrix so it might help a little to ease the call of the ring..err i mean the movie

Ainaserkewen · 10-14-2003, 05:16 PM

Here's something I don't usually do: I picked up three books from the library that weren't fantasy. They were angsty teenaged books about suicides and love and stuff. Books like that are good, but short lived. Mondieu, I need a real life.

Knight of Gondor · 10-14-2003, 08:26 PM

*Knight peeks in*How's everyone holding up? No nervous breakdowns, no clawing at Rings, or delusions of TTT and FOTR DVDs turning into RotK? Good!I still haven't been getting any shipments of Lembas in, so I guess this bowl of punch will have to do. (It's non-alcoholic, don't worry)Meantime, know that it is only 62 days, 20 hours, forty-five minutes and five seconds at the time I posted this, which is 10:14 PM EST.

Gorwingel · 10-14-2003, 11:46 PM

Well to keep myself busy, and from thinking of a certain upcoming movie that will be the greatest seen ever. I have been running a lot, reading a lot, and (my personal favorite) sleeping a lot. Though I am amazed though at how little time we have until things like the Extended Edition, it comes out in a little more than a month! Hopefully once I get that it will tie me over for very much a time.

Frodo2968thewhite · 10-15-2003, 05:45 PM

I forgot, how did I survive last year's wait?!?!?!?!?!?!?! *watches ROTK trailer again*

Orominuialwen · 10-15-2003, 06:57 PM

Only 62 more days to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait. I've been out of therapy for a while, due to the obscene amounts of homework I've had lately. I think my mental stability has suffered even more than usual. Btw miellien, does that mean that you are one of my fellow cheeseheads? (It's fine if you don't want to say) Oh, and Knight of Gondor, my brother says the punch is great (he's reading over my shoulder as I post)

I agree with you, Orominuialwen, cheeseheads rule! My favorite parts are probably going to be anything in the Battle of the Pelennor Fields. For some reason, I have a feeling that Theoden's death is probably going to be even more ultra-dramatic than Haldir's was in TTT...*is suddenly interrupted by the doorbell ringing*Hang on, I'll get that.*opens the door and a pizza man walks in carrying a big stack of pizza boxes.

Ainaserkewen · 10-17-2003, 04:40 PM

I can't wait any longer, I'm going mad!!! I watched the MTV movie awards rerun last night and got all excited seeing the hobbits and gollum and pj and Aragorn etc. December 17 is so very far away, AHHHH! I want to see it so badly.

*snork* Nice one, Knight. I've got donuts! Let's see, there's... glazed, chocolate, cream-filled, cinnamon rolls and... raspberry fritters. Dig in! *starts munching on a fritter*OMG, I can't wait for this movie to come out! I just watched the trailer for the zillionth time, as well as the trailer on the Towers DVD (more Pippin-like-goodness in that one. wheee!) and man, that looks so cool.Oo, oo, I found out the coolest thing on Billy Boyd's website: Pippin might get a *solo* in RotK. According to an interview with John Noble (Denethor) there's a scene where Denethor is really cranky, and he asks Pip to sing (note: Billy wrote the song himself); by the end of the scene Denethor/John had tears pouring down his face, because the song was so good and Billy has such a good voice. Dude, I so hope that makes the theatrical version! Abedithon le,~*~Aranel~*~

It is right here: (Strong Language Warning!!) <A HREF="http://www.chud.com/news/oct03/oct13lotr.php3" TARGET=_blank>Cinematic Happenings Under Development-ROTK Preview</A> That was one of the scenes that they showed! And it was actually this reviewers favorite! If it is in this preview that hopefully means that it will most definitely be in the theatrical cut 2 Long months to go... Much, much, too long of a wait

Knight of Gondor · 10-19-2003, 08:42 PM

If you visited my other post, Spoilers about RotK, we already knew about that solo. But there is a LOT of new information about the movie there, you guys simply have to check it out! (If you like spoilers, that is...)Got a crueler? They're my favorite!

They were angsty teenaged books about suicides and love and stuff. Books like that are good, but short lived. Mondieu, I need a real life. __________________ Solus... I'm eating chicken again.

No nervous breakdowns, no clawing at Rings, or delusions of TTT and FOTR DVDs turning into RotK? Good!<P>I still haven't been getting any shipments of Lembas in, so I guess this bowl of punch will have to do.

I have been running a lot, reading a lot, and (my personal favorite) sleeping a lot. Though I am amazed though at how little time we have until things like the Extended Edition, it comes out in a little more than a month! Hopefully once I get that it will tie me over for very much a time. __________________ Wanted - Wonderfully witty quote that consists of pure brilliance

I've been out of therapy for a while, due to the obscene amounts of homework I've had lately. I think my mental stability has suffered even more than usual. Btw miellien, does that mean that you are one of my fellow cheeseheads? (It's fine if you don't want to say) Oh, and Knight of Gondor, my brother says the punch is great (he's reading over my shoulder as I post) __________________ Gone for lentSeeyou at Easter!
