There was no parent bashing...you might as well tell them not to have their own opinions, or a desire for privacy...or to be subserivent all their lives...really, they're mentioning the fact that they'd like privacy. Hardly a controversial request.

I watched one they had up yesterday about Helm's Deep, and it was pretty good. I want to see more about other stuff, though. About the characters, and adding to their lines. Just a personal preference, though. Of course, I was glad to get to see anything about it!!EDIT: ok, I just went back and checked, and they have a new one up for today. It's very short, and about how they got the sounds for the fell beast.[ November 06, 2003: Message edited by: Arwen1858 ]

Meela · 11-11-2003, 07:07 AM

I need restraining. Every time I think about Rotk and Denethor, I get up and do a mad dance that ends in flying furniture, cups on the floor, and bruises all over my knees from where I ran into the chair by mistake.

Enorëiel · 11-11-2003, 07:32 PM

December is getting closer but it's not altogether helping! My mind wandering is getting even worse! It has effected me in school before but never as bad as yesterday! We went to a different room for my physics class and they had a HUGE Lord of the Rings poster on the wall! I kept daydreaming about LOTR (esp. ROTK) and before I knew it we had our assignment (thank goodness I have friends who paid attention)! But yikes! December better get here quicker than it is right now! <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> I need restraining.

Finwe · 11-11-2003, 08:31 PM

I can't help it. I am unhealthily obsessed with RotK. I've seen the trailer about 100 times so far, constantly quote lines along with the actors, and act out scenes with my semi-LotR obsessed friend. Today, during lunch, we were acting out the scene where Gandalf races with his glowing staff to save Faramir, and I crashed into a laboratory table, and gave myself a nasty, purplish-black bruise all across my stomach.

I can just imagine what that would look like... Heh heh... I should try it sometime... I was ecstatic when I saw the trailer before the Matrix. Nearly had a happy fit.

Arwen1858 · 11-11-2003, 09:58 PM

oh, that sounds like fun, elennar! I usually roast my marshmallows til they're black, so I'm an expert at this!! Of course, Meela might beat us all, since this is a Denethor inspired game... I keep walking around the house quoting lines from the trailer, especially Aragorn's speech! I can't wait!!!

Theoric Windcaller · 11-11-2003, 10:59 PM

Guys, an interesting thing to tide yourselves over for a while. Take the RotK trailer, and then mix it with like Rock music, and make sure to time it just right, so that when the song cresecndos (intensifies for percussion illiterates 8D) it gets to the part where the trailer intensifies. Take the song, "Pressing On" by "Relient K". I mixed it with the trailer of TTT, and when Saruman says, "There will be no dawn for men", the wallblows up. I timed it just right so exactly at them moment the singer sings, "I'm pressing ooooooooooon!" and then the song gets loud and crazy.It's pretty fun. To mix the music and trailer, you just open up the trailer and Windows Media (or Winamp or Quicktime) and time them right.Kind of nerdy, I know. But it held me over until the FotR came out and the TTT. -The Dwarf in the Shadows

Elentári_O_Most_Mighty_1 · 11-12-2003, 03:00 AM

Er...right, Theoric.I can't wait either...I saw the Matrix but it didn't have the trailer. But it did have the Troy trailer!!!! I just keep myself happy with looking at pictures and checking TORN for updates.

Sapphire_Flame · 11-12-2003, 01:55 PM

Interesting idea, Theoric. I do that occasionally; like I'll be listening to something and suddenly think "Oh, that's perfect for this one scene!" and then I replay the scene in my head while listening. It's v. fun.Only 35 days guys! And have you listened to the clips from the soundtrack? If you haven't (and you want to) <A HREF="http://www.soundtrack.net/features/article/?id=110" TARGET=_blank>go here now!!!</A> So kewl! Abedithon le,~*~Aranel~*~

Elentári_O_Most_Mighty_1 · 11-12-2003, 02:49 PM

Awww Elfearz, you know we didn't mean it... . You just have to be kind of careful with what you say on a LORD OF THE RINGS FORUM!!!! Hmm...I was thinking, this probably is not the best forum that the person called Orlando's top fangirl could go...who says she is anyway??!!! But yeah...I'm still totally confused about how on earth you play some rock song with the ROTK trailer. Is it really only 35 days to go????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Meela · 11-12-2003, 03:01 PM

*hands over one of her lighters and lights a marshmallow**wins the game, naturally*I've bought the Rotk photo guide today. It should keep me going for at least a few more hours. The wait is agonising. Fortunately, with TTT:Ext. being out in 6 days, the Denethor footage in that should hold me back for at least another couple of days. After that, I shall have to kidnap John Noble and get him to show me the film early.

Finwe · 11-12-2003, 08:15 PM

I just realized (after a second-degree burn and innumerable scrapes) that I'm such a bloody idiot!Today, in our Principles of Engineering class, we got to demolish our much-hated simple-machine projects with whatever we wanted to. Me, being the blessed fool, decided to body-slam mine and then set it on fire. Needless to say, I learned that a little wheel-and-axle system that looks (and feels) like the spiked wheel in Orthanc isn't the best thing to jump on. (My poor abused stomach!)Then I decided to pull a Denethor (because I'm really looking forward to seeing Denny) and set the thing on fire (it was made of wood so it burned easily) and quickly stuck my hands into the flames and pulled them out, trying to see how long I could keep them in without them burning. Needless to say, the teacher called one of my group members to tell them something, which, of course, distracted me. Thus, I have icky second degree and first degree burns on my hands, which HURT!!!!!And folks, that is how much I'm looking forward to RotK. Yes, I am obsessed!

Tintalle · 11-13-2003, 02:27 AM

Hello! It's been awhile ...Anyway, may have not seen the ROTK trailer, and I may have to wait 'til January to watch the movie, but I think the light of Eru finally shone on me 'cuz today I'm getting The Special Extended DVD of The Two Towers!!! HOoray!! I could kiss the delivery guy!

Meela · 11-13-2003, 08:30 AM

I've begun having dreams where I am being doused in a crate of tar and set alight. I think in one dream I was actually in the House of the Stewards at the time and surrounded by Gondorian soldiers.

*squeee*On the 16th December I'm having a celebratory 'the-wait-is-over!' bonfire in my garden. I'll be cutting marshmallows into Denethor/Faramir shapes and acting out scenes.

I want to see more about other stuff, though. About the characters, and adding to their lines. Just a personal preference, though. Of course, I was glad to get to see anything about it!!<P>EDIT: ok, I just went back and checked, and they have a new one up for today. It's very short, and about how they got the sounds for the fell beast.<p>[ November 06, 2003: Message edited by: Arwen1858 ] __________________ Will Turner: "This is either madness or brilliance."

It has effected me in school before but never as bad as yesterday! We went to a different room for my physics class and they had a HUGE Lord of the Rings poster on the wall! I kept daydreaming about LOTR (esp. ROTK) and before I knew it we had our assignment (thank goodness I have friends who paid attention)! But yikes! December better get here quicker than it is right now! <P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> I need restraining.

Finwe Deathless Sun Join Date: May 2003 Location: The Royal Suite in the Halls of Mandos Posts: 2,609	I can't help it. I am unhealthily obsessed with RotK. I've seen the trailer about 100 times so far, constantly quote lines along with the actors, and act out scenes with my semi-LotR obsessed friend. Today, during lunch, we were acting out the scene where Gandalf races with his glowing staff to save Faramir, and I crashed into a laboratory table, and gave myself a nasty, purplish-black bruise all across my stomach. __________________ But Melkor also was there, and he came to the house of Fëanor, and there he slew Finwë King of the Noldor before his doors, and spilled the first blood in the Blessed Realm; for Finwë alone had not fled from the horror of the Dark.

Theoric Windcaller Haunting Spirit Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Following where the wind takes me... Posts: 68	Guys, an interesting thing to tide yourselves over for a while. Take the RotK trailer, and then mix it with like Rock music, and make sure to time it just right, so that when the song cresecndos (intensifies for percussion illiterates 8D) it gets to the part where the trailer intensifies. Take the song, "Pressing On" by "Relient K". I mixed it with the trailer of TTT, and when Saruman says, "There will be no dawn for men", the wallblows up. I timed it just right so exactly at them moment the singer sings, "I'm pressing ooooooooooon!" and then the song gets loud and crazy.<P>It's pretty fun. To mix the music and trailer, you just open up the trailer and Windows Media (or Winamp or Quicktime) and time them right.<P>Kind of nerdy, I know. But it held me over until the FotR came out and the TTT.<P><BR>-The Dwarf in the Shadows __________________ Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens... -The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers: Book 2, Chapter 3)

I do that occasionally; like I'll be listening to something and suddenly think "Oh, that's perfect for this one scene!" and then I replay the scene in my head while listening. It's v. fun.<P>Only 35 days guys! And have you listened to the clips from the soundtrack?

It should keep me going for at least a few more hours. The wait is agonising. Fortunately, with TTT:Ext. being out in 6 days, the Denethor footage in that should hold me back for at least another couple of days. After that, I shall have to kidnap John Noble and get him to show me the film early. __________________ 'The Hobbit' 1st impressions: 1. Thorin is hot... Oh god, I fancy a dwarf. 2.

Finwe Deathless Sun Join Date: May 2003 Location: The Royal Suite in the Halls of Mandos Posts: 2,609	I just realized (after a second-degree burn and innumerable scrapes) that I'm such a bloody idiot!<P>Today, in our Principles of Engineering class, we got to demolish our much-hated simple-machine projects with whatever we wanted to. Me, being the blessed fool, decided to body-slam mine and then set it on fire. Needless to say, I learned that a little wheel-and-axle system that looks (and feels) like the spiked wheel in Orthanc isn't the best thing to jump on. (My poor abused stomach!)<P>Then I decided to pull a Denethor (because I'm really looking forward to seeing Denny) and set the thing on fire (it was made of wood so it burned easily) and quickly stuck my hands into the flames and pulled them out, trying to see how long I could keep them in without them burning. Needless to say, the teacher called one of my group members to tell them something, which, of course, distracted me. Thus, I have icky second degree and first degree burns on my hands, which HURT!!!!!<P>And folks, that is how much I'm looking forward to RotK. Yes, I am obsessed! __________________ But Melkor also was there, and he came to the house of Fëanor, and there he slew Finwë King of the Noldor before his doors, and spilled the first blood in the Blessed Realm; for Finwë alone had not fled from the horror of the Dark.
