First of all, much chocolate is needed. A "friend" stopped by work to inform me that she had tickets for Trilogy Tuesday. did she get one for me? NOoo! And yes, I am a cheddarhead. Somebody better get choclate quick.

*in an effort to appease the masses, brings in about 200 lbs. worth of chocolate bars* Dig in, peeps. That's so harsh, miellien! How could someone be so rude as to have tickets for that and not get one for you? *fume* -,-# Some people have no tact.Abedithon le,~*~Aranel~*~

Oddwen · 10-21-2003, 07:16 PM

Apple crisp is basically baked apples with an oatmeal topping. Ex-tra good.I hear that Pippin's solo (he sings in front of Denethor, apparently) will be on the soundtrack. Yipee!

Finwe · 10-23-2003, 06:40 PM

I honestly cannot take this any more! I've been watching the RotK trailer about five times an evening, and I bought a life-size Aragorn cut-out from tolkientown.com which I have in my room, and I've been reading the book about once every two days. I just cannot take this any more!!!!!!!!!! *fumes*

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> (unless you are completely undeservedly lucky) it sold out within the first three hours of going on sale. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> I know! I cried when I found out that they were sold out where I am! My mom says that I should write to the theater and request that they have another showing. She says that they would make a lot of money if they had another showing, and that they will do all they can to make money. It's worth a try anyway. Maybe we should start a support group for those of us who couldn't get tickets!

Knight of Gondor · 10-24-2003, 09:44 PM

Here's a tip: Look forward to Christmas. Then you'll be happy to find that RotK is upon you!

Knight of Gondor · 10-25-2003, 09:01 PM

51 days, 20 hours, 11 minutes. How's everybody holding up? I brought some chex mix this time, the chocolate's running low. (Hey, we got a spill over here...)

miellien · 10-25-2003, 11:29 PM

OK, sorry I consumed most of the chocolate. I needed it at the time. Anybody want some Bugles and salsa? I brought drinks too!!

Elentári_O_Most_Mighty_1 · 10-26-2003, 05:10 AM

Hey, Aethelwine! Nah, I wasn't really scared...just checking, that's all... Ahh, so that's what apple crisp is...never seen it before. Oh well.*Scoffs a chocolate bar*Yeah man, I can't wait for the solo! I also want to see what they've done with that last battle in front of the Morannon. That was so emotional for me, but all the focus has been on the Pelennor fields.*Brings a few packets of jammy dodgers* Enjoy! *Takes a few* Muahahahaha!

Aethelwine · 10-26-2003, 11:54 AM

Oh well, that's good, Elentari. Well, that's solved then. On to the next crazy thing!How can you all stomach eating? I'm so nervous! Anyway, listen to what I got from my sweat ada! I had to go to the dentist (again ) Well, my father was with me, and he can't stomach dentists. So, because I was brave, he brought me a small book. Guess what?...It's the previeuw-book from ROTK! With all those pictures in it, that you see as spoilers! With text with it! It's great! Down side is the fact that, if possible, it makes the waiting even more unbeareble! *Grasps jammy dodger* What is this?Love,Aethelwine.

Estelyn Telcontar · 10-26-2003, 12:12 PM

Please do try to keep your posts Tolkien-related; as interesting as junk food is, it's rather off-topic on the Downs' forum! You could tell us what parts you are looking forward to seeing, what spoilers you enjoy, etc.

Knight of Gondor · 10-26-2003, 03:08 PM

Estelyn, you're on a diet, aren't you? No, just kidding. She's right, folks, let's keep the "junk" posts to a minimum. Aethelwine, you said you got that book...if there are any new pictures that you haven't yet seen on TheOneRing.net, then you stand a good chance of scanning them and getting them published on TheOneRing.net!

Meela · 10-26-2003, 03:09 PM

What's this spoiler-book?? Sounds good! I am looking forward to the Denethor parts.I enjoy all Denethor spoilers.

Knight of Gondor · 10-26-2003, 09:40 PM

I think the spoiler book would be the picture story book. Most of the images were probably the ones featured on TheOneRing.net not long ago, but it seemed like there would be some more than were shown, so I thought if someone actually got the story book itself, they might scan and submit those new pics. But it's a tricky thing...the story books really aren't good because they can't spoil things like Shelob and what happens after the unmaking of the Ring!

Aethelwine · 10-27-2003, 01:47 AM

Dear Knight, your right. It is indeed that picture story book. Not all things are shown, neither what happens after the destroying of the ring. And indeed, again , not all pictures are up yet. The downside being that I can't scan anything, because my scanner can't connect with my computer... Not nice!Sorry Esty, your right. What I look foreward to? The entire movie! I feel sorry that the Scouring won't be in it, but then again, it will be more special every time I read about it in the books, because I can still (or have to) use my own imagination.No, but what I really want to see, are Minas Tirith and the ride of the Rohirrim, to the aid of Gondor. That'll be awesome! Navaer!Aethelwine.

Elentári_O_Most_Mighty_1 · 10-27-2003, 05:30 AM

(Jammy dodgers are biscuits, with...wait for it...jam in the middle. Very yummy. You can't tell me you haven't heard of them??!!!!)Hmm, I think the battle of the Pelennor Fields will be interesting. The story line will have to keep switching between the Rohirrim, Aragorn &co, and Pippin &co. Interesting, no? Hang on, when abouts does that bit where Aragorn goes 'This day we fight!' happen? It can't be the Pelennor Fields, because the Rohirrim got there at the last minute. On the other hand, I can't imagine it will be the last battle either, but it must be that. And I suppose that rather despairing bit where all the soldiers from Gondor surrounding Minas Tirith come in, but always in too small numbers, will be left out. A shame that. The last battle, it seems, will be entirely between the Rohirrim and Gondor on one side, and the Dark side on the other.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Hang on, when abouts does that bit where Aragorn goes 'This day we fight!' happen? It can't be the Pelennor Fields, because the Rohirrim got there at the last minute. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Now you may think I'm going over the top, and I'm always reading too much into things when I see them, BUT (and I hope I'm wrong - please correct me if you can)have you noticed the new toybiz aragorn? IE The "Pellonor Fields poseable Aragorn". He is in his Gondorian armour. Now how come he's wearing this when he is fighting on the Pellonor fields?I'm just wondering if Aragorn will turn up BEFORE the main attack takes place, and then rally his troops befoer the Rohirrim turn up? How on earth will he get the unifrom otherwise?It could always be a mistake from toybiz I suppose, as the rotk trailer shows the guys discussing tactics in the throne room(supposedly on the attack of the black gates), we see Aragorn in his old costume again......(ps obviously jackson has aragorn enter the city to plan the next stage not only to go to the houses of the healing, instead of in his tent on the pellonor fields itself)

Sapphire_Flame · 10-27-2003, 12:25 PM

Oh yum! Thanks for bringing those, Elentári! Let's see, the bits I can't wait to see... SHELOB!!! Oh, and everything with Pippin. ^^ Cutie!Oh, and Meela, if you didn't notice, there is a new piccie up on TORn of the Pyre (pre-combustion ), that is pretty cool. Just thought you'd like to know.Abedithon le,~*~Aranel~*~

Elentári_O_Most_Mighty_1 · 10-27-2003, 02:08 PM

(Pleasure, Sapphire Flame!!!)Well, it being a film, not a faithful rendition of the book, I suppose PJ will have the Paths of the Dead over and done with a while before the attack on the Pelennor Fields. Which will completely lose the tension. Grrrrr.......

Aduyuldaiel-MirkwoodPrincess · 10-27-2003, 05:52 PM

OMG...that makes me so MAD!! i cant believe that i missed the date to buy them. GRRRR!!!!!!!

Knight of Gondor · 10-27-2003, 09:05 PM

It must be the Pellenor fields, because at the very first shot you see of the soldiers in the preview, you can see Gondor and the massive hoards of Orcs attacking. Still, one must wonder where Aragorn gets the Gondorian duds...and why he is shown in the White City with his Ranger duds on beforehand, saying they can give Frodo a chance.

The_Hand · 10-28-2003, 08:34 AM

Since this is the support group to Rotk I thought it best to post my thoughts here:I just bought TICKETS to ROTK!!! (well it was yesterday but whose countin') I'm so happy! My friends and I went down to the cinema one day before and I was in line 21 hours!!!! But it was worth it because I WAS FIRST IN LINE!!!! NUMBER ONE! I was the first to buy in my home town! And I got the best seat in the house! I'm sooooo happy and now I really can't wait till 17th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! gosh! Has anyone else gotten really good tickets!? It was really fun standing (or more correctly sitting) in line except that it was 0 degrees celsius at night! (so very cold) but we all had a blast! When I got to school, only missing one class, I was so exhausted I almost couldn't stand up strait. But it was all worth it! and as we say in Norway: FY FAEN SÅ KULT!thanks... I really needed to get that off my chest! aaaah it felt great.

Elentári_O_Most_Mighty_1 · 10-28-2003, 12:14 PM

Ahhh...is this the whole thing about camping for days and queueing up in costume??? At my local cinemas you buy the tickets (You won't be able to buy them until a few days before, although I think you can book them for a small fee) and sit where you like...if you turn up early enough. I got there 15 minutes early last year, and it was like 3pm or something...(legged it from school), and only the front row was empty. I swear all those adults should have been at work! My neck really hurt afterwards...grrr

The_Hand · 10-28-2003, 01:22 PM

I was as I said first in line so I could chose any seat I wanted... my sister and a friend were right behind me and we all picked the best seats in the house... THE FRONT ROW! At our cinema which has been reported being the best in Northern-Europe or something it's always best to sit in the front row! Although only we know it! Because then you can lean back (very good chairs that go way back) and it's like your sitting smack in the middle of the movie! We always sit there. When we buy ticket it's like: "oh it's YOU lot" but we don't care because our seat are never taken!!! and now I'm gonna watch the best movie ever in the best seat ever!!!

Elentári_O_Most_Mighty_1 · 10-28-2003, 01:57 PM

Ahh, well in the nearest cinema to my school it is best to sit nearer the back. Then you don't get a stiff neck. But in the cinema near where I live it is best to sit in the middle. So there you go. (Yuppie-doos, I have more than one near me )

Sapphire_Flame · 10-28-2003, 04:09 PM

Here's more chocolate! *dumps a bag the size of a fell beast in the middle of the thread* Eru knows we'll need it. In the theaters by me, it's always best to sit in the middle. Then you don't get a stiff-neck (too close) or nose bleeds (from sitting up too high!).On opening day for Towers, my dad and I went; we only got to the theater about an hour and a half early, but we still got seats right in the middle! Ah, the joys of going in a small group... ONLY 50 DAYS LEFT UNTIL ROTK!!!Abedithon le,~*~Aranel~*~

Morquesse · 10-28-2003, 05:32 PM

With our bad timing and good-size group (6-12 people), it's almost a tradition to sit one or two rows from the front for the opening day. And I suspect it'll happen again for RotK. But hey, we have a tradition. Now, if only someone would dress in costume with me. I guess if keep looking forward to RotK, the release of Extended Version TTT will be upon us! See ya! ~M

I've been watching the RotK trailer about five times an evening, and I bought a life-size Aragorn cut-out from tolkientown.com which I have in my room, and I've been reading the book about once every two days. I just cannot take this any more!!!!!!!!!! <P><BR>fumes __________________ 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.

Knight of Gondor Ghost Prince of Cardolan Join Date: Jul 2002 Location: Kentucky Posts: 744	I think the spoiler book would be the picture story book. Most of the images were probably the ones featured on TheOneRing.net not long ago, but it seemed like there would be some more than were shown, so I thought if someone actually got the story book itself, they might scan and submit those new pics. But it's a tricky thing...the story books really aren't good because they can't spoil things like Shelob and what happens after the unmaking of the Ring! __________________ Eagerly awaiting the REAL Return of the King - Jesus Christ!

Aethelwine Wight Join Date: Aug 2003 Location: In Anórien, just outside Edoras, on a horse I "borrowed"... Posts: 150	Dear <B>Knight</B>, your right. It is indeed that picture story book. Not all things are shown, neither what happens after the destroying of the ring. And indeed, again , not all pictures are up yet. The downside being that I can't scan anything, because my scanner can't connect with my computer... Not nice!<P>Sorry <B>Esty</B>, your right. <BR>What I look foreward to? The entire movie! I feel sorry that the Scouring won't be in it, but then again, it will be more special every time I read about it in the books, because I can still (or have to) use my own imagination.<P>No, but what I really want to see, are Minas Tirith and the ride of the Rohirrim, to the aid of Gondor. That'll be awesome! <P>Navaer!<P>Aethelwine. __________________ Nelly, I am Heathcliff!

Very yummy. You can't tell me you haven't heard of them??!!!!)<P>Hmm, I think the battle of the Pelennor Fields will be interesting. The story line will have to keep switching between the Rohirrim, Aragorn &co, and Pippin &co. Interesting, no?<BR>Hang on, when abouts does that bit where Aragorn goes 'This day we fight!' happen? It can't be the Pelennor Fields, because the Rohirrim got there at the last minute. On the other hand, I can't imagine it will be the last battle either, but it must be that. And I suppose that rather despairing bit where all the soldiers from Gondor surrounding Minas Tirith come in, but always in too small numbers, will be left out. A shame that. The last battle, it seems, will be entirely between the Rohirrim and Gondor on one side, and the Dark side on the other. __________________ '"Forweg can lead you no longer; for he is dead...I slew him...I will govern this fellowship now, or leave it."

IE The "Pellonor Fields poseable Aragorn". He is in his Gondorian armour. Now how come he's wearing this when he is fighting on the Pellonor fields?<P>I'm just wondering if Aragorn will turn up BEFORE the main attack takes place, and then rally his troops befoer the Rohirrim turn up? How on earth will he get the unifrom otherwise?<P>It could always be a mistake from toybiz I suppose, as the rotk trailer shows the guys discussing tactics in the throne room(supposedly on the attack of the black gates), we see Aragorn in his old costume again......<P>(ps obviously jackson has aragorn enter the city to plan the next stage not only to go to the houses of the healing, instead of in his tent on the pellonor fields itself)

Which will completely lose the tension. Grrrrr....... __________________ '"Forweg can lead you no longer; for he is dead...I slew him...I will govern this fellowship now, or leave it."

Knight of Gondor Ghost Prince of Cardolan Join Date: Jul 2002 Location: Kentucky Posts: 744	It must be the Pellenor fields, because at the very first shot you see of the soldiers in the preview, you can see Gondor and the massive hoards of Orcs attacking. Still, one must wonder where Aragorn gets the Gondorian duds...and why he is shown in the White City with his Ranger duds on beforehand, saying they can give Frodo a chance. __________________ Eagerly awaiting the REAL Return of the King - Jesus Christ!

(well it was yesterday but whose countin') I'm so happy! My friends and I went down to the cinema one day before and I was in line 21 hours!!!! But it was worth it because I WAS FIRST IN LINE!!!! NUMBER ONE! I was the first to buy in my home town! And I got the best seat in the house! I'm sooooo happy and now I really can't wait till 17th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! gosh! Has anyone else gotten really good tickets!? <P>It was really fun standing (or more correctly sitting) in line except that it was 0 degrees celsius at night! (so very cold) but we all had a blast! <BR>When I got to school, only missing one class, I was so exhausted I almost couldn't stand up strait. But it was all worth it! <P>and as we say in Norway:<BR>FY FAEN SÅ KULT!<P>thanks... I really needed to get that off my chest! aaaah it felt great. __________________ Member of: The Bodyparts of Sauron Russ 2006
