Support Group for...RETURN OF THE KING!

[Knight of Gondor]

Hi guys. Sorry if this is a bit of a clone from my TTT: EE support group, but we all need to support each other here until RotK comes out, and that period will be much longer than TTT:EE will be!<P>Help yourself to some crackers and cheese...we're in for the long haul!

[arianrod]

Ohh, I deffinatly need to join this support group. I don't think I can make it on my own. The wait to see Shelob and Sam's heartwrenching scene with his 'dead' master... *sobs* it's more than I can take! *continues sobbing and grabs a cracker* <P>Only 86 days, 03 hours, and 53 minutes until its release (American Central)! ...I don't think I can make it!

[Meela]

Oh, this is the place for me! I need the most help. I'm going <I>crazy</I> with the waiting for Denethor!! *has a nervous breakdown and quickly stuffs her mouth with crackers to block her screams*

[Goldberry]

I'm going crazy waiting for everything! *bounces all around so as not to scream loudly*<P>And it will be okay Meela, when it finally does come you can have the worship of Denethor all to yourself...I don't think there will be too many Denethor fangirls...

[Meela]

I met one a while back but I showed her... she won't be worshipping my man any more *grrr*

[Carorëiel]

My friends and I have dubbed today Hobbit Day--use it as an excuse to watch FotR or tTT again. Maybe that'll help (just for today) in the wait for RotK.

[Elentári_O_Most_Mighty_1]

You met a fellow Denethor fangirl, Meela? Wow, I hadn't thought it possible...he freaks me out...<P>The Shelob bit will indeed be interesting. Or just plain scary. I screamed in Harry Potter, for goodness' sake!

[The Elusive Spirit]

I can't wait to see the battle of Pelennor Fields. It's going to be so sad. I'm also excited to see Denethor. Not trying to get your man Meela.<BR>The crackers and cheese are little sustenance but what else can we do? Better here than anywhere else. *takes cracker*

[Meela]

*hands round slices of charred cake in honour of Denethor*<P>If I meet another Denethor fangirl, I'll slap her one. Nobody gets my man. Nobody. *more grrr's*

[arianrod]

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>If I meet another Denethor fangirl, I'll slap her one. Nobody gets my man. Nobody.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>May Eru have pitty on her soul... Mordor hath no wrath like Meela's Denethor-defence fury... <P>Hobbit day! Happy birthday Frodo and Bilbo! This calls for another round of crackers! *passes them out and stuffs her own face*<P>Another scene I just can't wait ANY longer to see is Frodo's goodbye to Sam, Merry, and Pippin in the Grey Havens. I'm gonna sob 'til the cows come home, then I'll make them sob along with me.<P>Only 85 days, 06 hours, and 47 minutes left!<p>[ September 22, 2003: Message edited by: arianrod ]

[Finwe]

I think I'm probably going to cry my eyes out at the movie itself, especially during the part where Eowyn kills the Witch-king. I've even got my costume planned out and everything, and I'm so excited just thinking about the movie that I'm half-coherent right now.

[Amarantha_Daisy]

Ooo! I've gotta join! I can't wait... *sob* *grabs some crackers*<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Another scene I just can't wait ANY longer to see is Frodo's goodbye to Sam, Merry, and Pippin in the Grey Havens. I'm gonna sob 'til the cows come home, then I'll make them sob along with me. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Mmmm... me too. I was looking through the <A HREF="http://forum.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=4&t=002340" TARGET=_blank>How do *You* Want it to End</A> thread, and it just made me think... and sob! *sniffle* I want to see that scene... and Sam's "goodbye" to Frodo after Shelob... And Eowyn killing the Witch-king... everything! *sob*<P>Wow, Meela... there are other Denethor fangirls out there? I always thought you were lucky for having a lack of compitition. <P>Anyone care for some lembas? *pulls out batch of homemade lembas*<P>This whole waiting thing is torture... But then again, I think the one or two weeks before it comes out will be even worse... And can you imagine how we'll be the day before?! I'll be a wreck!

[Knight of Gondor]

Stay strong, fans! In the meantime, I brought cheesecake! (Elven cheesecake of course)<P>By the way, float your way on over to the Rumors about RotK thread, there's some interesting stuff going on over there. (And the fact that I posted it has nothing to do with it... )

[Meneltarmacil]

Mind if I join you? I brought popcorn.<BR>*sits down and helps himself to cheese*<P>From what I've heard from the behind-the-scenes preview, ROTK is supposed to be the best one yet. I hope the Pyre of Denethor is done well!

[Meela]

ha ha ha ha ha... don't put "Pyre of Denethor" and "done well" together... poor guy gets enough grief about his charred appearance as it is <P>*rolls on the floor laughing her head off, stops to eat some popcorn, then continues to laugh*<P>The part I'm most looking forward to is seeing Denethor toast himself. Only problem is, I'll have to get rid of all matches and lighters in our house in case I go straight home and torch myself in honour of him.

[Elentári_O_Most_Mighty_1]

You'd better not do that, Meela, or Denethor would lose his only fangirl!!!<P>Wow, would you guys actually be able to get away with dressing up? This must be an American thing, no one would dare to do it here...it would be funny to see them try...to see all the scathing looks they'd receive...ah me!

[Aduyuldaiel-MirkwoodPrincess]

DUDE... im in this support group for the long haul... i cant wait until it comes out...ill end up buying 3 or more posters by the time they start playing comercials for it on TV...that would make 11 on my wall...i dont have enough wall space for that... <P><BR>*btw: the cheese was good...

[Amarantha_Daisy]

Mmmm... I love cheesecake! thanks, Knight of Gondor! *grabs rather large slice of cheesecake*<P>Yeah Elentári, we could get away with dressing up Not too many people do it where I live, in the suburbs, But it's been done by the obsessors *like me* <P>When I went to see Harry Potter on opening day there were about... 10 or 15 people dressed up. It was actually pretty cool.<P>I hope I'm not the *only* one dressed up this year... It's gonna be my first year dressing up for the movie... I'm sewing an Elvish dress

[Imladris]

May I join? <P>*Looks longingly at the cheesecake -- turns resolutely away.*<P>I, personnally, can't wait to see Eowyn and Faramir kiss (it was dramatic in the book, but I normally don't go for the kissy stuff) and to see Arwen's and Aragorn's and Eowyn's and Faramir's wedding. *Looks menacingly at PJ and hisses, "You better have that in there." OF course, if he doesn't think he has time to do the wedding the kiss would be okay too....he better have that love story in the movie. That was like one of the main parts.

[Knight of Gondor]

Stay strong, guys! The preview comes out in just three short days!<P>Then you will get to see my city, the City of Men, Gondor! Yay!

[Gorwingel]

Actually I am not really having a hard time with the wait. I am actually really surprised at how short of a time we have until ROTK, and how time is moving so quickly towards that December 17 date. To keep myself from dwelling on the time, I just keep thinking of all the exciting things to keep us busy (the tralier, the extended edition, the film books, Halloween, premiere night planning, the holidays, conventions, school), there is of course a part of me that wants to desprately see ROTK, but then there is another part of me that is going to be really sad to see all this excitement come to an end (Imagine how quiet the movie part of the B-D's is going to be). I just saw a ad for the tralier with Secondhand Lions on TV, that had a few new scenes, and that just makes me realize how short of a time we really have. I still think I need to be part of the support group though. But just remember this time is going to be gone before you know it, so appriciate it before it has disapeared forever

[Elentári_O_Most_Mighty_1]

Yeah, the time has gone amazingly fast. There's been loads of distraction, like POTC and Ned Kelly comes out on Friday. So I suppose there is quite short a time left to wait. But still, it's like 3 months! THREE MONTHS!!! *Takes a deep breath*

[The_Hand]

god is it that long?? three months? whao. I really need this support group. I'm going to start counting the days.... do you think that'll make it worse or easier to wait?

[dancing spawn of ungoliant]

I really need some support now. I found out that RotK trailer is released next Monday and my Quick Time player's not working! There's some security thing that doesn't allow me to use QT.<P>Three months...maybe it's easier if one doesn't count the days. I just came up with an idea if I should go to watch RotK alone on the first time (I'm going to watch it 2-3 times in the theatre). I could cry my eyes off and my friends didn't have to be shamed because of me. Really, I'm serious. It would be cool!<P>Ahem. Is there by chance any cheesecake left? <p>[ September 25, 2003: Message edited by: dancing spawn of ungoliant ]

[The Elusive Spirit]

I live off popcorn, thanks Manltarmacil *grabs handful*<BR>When I saw the preview thing on the TT DVD I almost cried. I'm sure I will in the movie.<BR>Oh, it's hard to wait!<P>Knight of Gondor, have you met Beanimer of Gondor?

[Sapphire_Flame]

OMG, I so need this support group...<BR> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>There's some security thing that doesn't allow me to use QT.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>Oh, that's so sad! My condolences, dancing spawn!<P>I did hear that the new RotK trailer was going to be showing with the movie Secondhand Lions. I have vociferously insisted that my dad and I go this weekend to see it. I can't wait!<P>Mmm, popcorn...<P>Abedithon le,<P>~*~Aranel~*~<P>PS: <I>ONLY 83 DAYS UNTIL ROTK!!!</I> <p>[ September 25, 2003: Message edited by: Sapphire_Flame ]

[Orominuialwen]

I desperately need this group!! At first I was worried that PJ would mess the plot up a lot (like the Galadhrim in Helm's Deep *grrr*), but I realized that there would be mass revolt on the Downs and PJ can't risk getting us angry because we're the biggest group of LotR fans (probably), so it's all good. (Wow, that was a long sentance!)<P>I brought fudge!! *helps self to cheese and popcorn and cheesecake*<P>I'm gonna see RotK with my friends for my birthday(I'll do that on the weekend and see it with my family on the 17th) even though it was Sept. 3rd- my party'll just be 3 months late. Before TTT came out I changed my screensaver every day so it said how many days were left untill it came out- I should do that now.

[Knight of Gondor]

I brought some more cheesecake and some Little Debbie snack cookies! But I think I like the looks of that fudge, personally...does it have any yucky nuts in it? We Knights of Gondor are very particular about no nuts. (And when we found out that our Steward was one...)<P>Anyway, here's a few spoilers from TheOneRing.net, in the words of a person who visited with the Hennahs. <P>**Spoiler alert!**<P>-----------<BR>They brought a One Ring (I got to try it on!), and other items. Most I had seen, but among them was a diamond vase thing. I asked Dan what it was, and he took it and took of the top. As he pulled the top off, I saw that a inky rats tale with spikes was hanging off the lid. <P>He told me that it was Wormtounge’s poison jar, I asked when does he use that, and he said that he uses it to kill Theodred. I was surprised because I thought that that was really clever. It would make his character more evil. He went on to say that it wasn’t in the books, and I asked him if it would appear in the EE of the TT. He said most defiantly. <P>I then looked around, and on the wall was two pictures of the encampment seen in the DVD trailer and on previous posts. I asked if that is from the third film (obviously fishing for info), and Chris Hennah said yes, it was at Dunharrow. <P>It had an inside shot of the the Kings tent (Theoden), with skins and shields, and kingly stuff. <P>Another picture showed Arwyn looking very sick in a bed with Elrond at her side, re-enforcing the whole, sick of grieve theory. <BR>In the actual question and Answer part of the afternoon, I asked Dan, what his favourite part in the trilogy was and he said he couldn’t give too much away, but he said when Farimir storms the Orcs out of Osgiliath onto the Pellenor Fields. He said it is quite an important part of the story. I can’t remember if it happened in the book. <P>Any way, it was an enjoyable morning, and he said that filming will finish in the next week. At the moment they are filming background battle shots and Mumukil etc. <BR>So I hope I have some new news in there, oh and that Wormtounge vase thing, was really foul. I think my friend summed it up by saying “They really do a good job at making things look evil don't they!”

[Knight of Gondor]

P.S. P.S. 89 days, 19 hours 58 minutes 00 seconds!

[Arvedui III]

Ye Gods! I've been off by a minute. <P>Herm, following that last statement I think I need to join this support group. *Puts down big bowl of chips* Has anyone gone to see 'Secondhand Lions' and watched the trailer yet?

[Oddwen]

Sweet Witch-King Lollipop-Man, how I need you guys...<BR>I've just seen the trailer...I am going to cry...<BR>AHHHH! *Sorry, Oddwen must collapse into a blubbering blob of incoherency for a moment*<P>Much better. *helps herself to cheesecake*<BR>Well. It was a very dark asian subtitled version, but it was soooo worth it.<BR>My favorite part:<BR>"We will have the Precious, after the hobbitses are dead!" Gollum drops the stone in the water, and then there is a reflection of Sam! Ooh, chills!

So...can't...wate. *helps herself to cheesecake and soda (thank you guys!)*<BR>I found a solution to my non-working Quick Time problem: I watch the trailer at school where QT works! It's funny how a trailer can make my day!

[The Elusive Spirit]

Glad you found a way dancing spawn! I'm contemplating going to see the trailer. I'm not sure I have enough time. Ah, well that's life. Actually I must confess that I'm<BR>so busy with school that I don't think about ROTK to much. (Only every other minute.)

[Lomadia]

>he better have that love story in the movie. That was like one of the main parts.<P> Actually, I'm very worried that it'll be ruined, and so now I think I actually would rather it be left out. It's one of my absolute favorite parts of the book, and I don't see how they can make it work, with what they did to Faramir in TTT. Plus, how can they have that beautiful image of their 'raven and golden' hair if Faramir's hair is red?!?!?! All my friends tell me that I'm probably the most supremely angry person on earth about the color of Faramir's hair in the movie!<BR> Anyway, I saw the trailer today and it looks AWESOME! It is SO worth the seven dollars just to see it, plus SL is a cute little film. Two of my major concerns are: 1. The Darkness in the Seige of Gondor doesn't look very dark. 2. I don't think that they're going to keep Dernhelm's identity a secret!!! But you have got to see it, preferably on the big screen because it is so good! The Stairs of Cirith Ungol look so cool, and my sister, who hasn't read the books, was immediately blown away by how impressive and beautiful Minas Tirith looks! Get thee to the cinema! Now!<BR> Namarie,<BR> Lomadia

[Knight of Gondor]

I'll wait 'til Monday. My brother can get it downloaded to his laptop from super-fast college computers, and then we can see it on the laptop any time! We have Fellowship, and Two Towers previews on it too!

[Elfchick7]

*Steps out of corner of the room where she has been quietly listening to the ongoing conversation*<BR>Worry no more Lomadia, For in TTT extended edition they show what really happened with Faramir. Clearing Him so he won't look like a jerk and a seccond choice for Eowyn. Ya'll I am already starting on my costume!!!! I can't wait!!!! *Set's down a couple gallons of Blus Bell Homemade ice-cream* I brought some ice-cream to share. *Helps herself to some water which she brought* There are so many things which I can't wait to see in ROTK. <P>God grant me patients!!!!<BR> -Amen<P>( I meant that in the utmost sincerity with no disrespect meant towards the most Holy Lord.)<P>P.S. I am a Roman Catholic for those who don't know. Just in case you were wondering.

[Finwe]

SQUEEE!!!!! I SAW IT!!!!!!!<P>*takes a few deep breaths*<P><BR>All right, I'm calm, I'm cool, I'm collected. The trailer was just so beautiful, I'm still slightly queasy out of nervousness. I can't wait for Return of the King to come out!!!! Me and my friend are going to dress up (I as an Easterling spy and she as Eowyn) and we'll be bawling in each others' arms. <P>*brings out boxes of Indian cashew sweets*<P>Here, all! Enjoy! They're really very good. I think that they could even be lembas, considering one of them keeps me full for like, twelve hours, and three of them could fit comfortably in your hand.<P>*grabs one and compulsively starts chewing*

[Knight of Gondor]

Only a few short hours before the preview is fully unveiled! ANd only 78 days, 20 hours and 27 minutes until the movie comes out!! How ironic that I also get my TTT poster and pins from Blockbuster tomorrow...

[Gorwingel]

Changed my mind! After seeing that wonderful, spectacular, amazing ROTK tralier in the theater. I want to see the entire masterpiece Now!!!!<BR>Is there really still over 2 months to December? Much, much, too long of a wait. But I still think it will go kind of quickly though <p>[ September 29, 2003: Message edited by: Gorwingel ]

[Orominuialwen]

Only 77 days 'til RotK comes out! I must download the trailer now, so I'll have to go.<P>P.S.The food's great everyone! And no, Knight of Gondor, there are no nuts in my fudge .

[Knight of Gondor]

*Breathes* <P>I've seen the trailer, maybe five times now. This movie will be the singularly most awesome movie of this century, I just know it!

[Enorëiel]

Ah! I needed this support group BEFORE I saw the ROTK trailer but now that I've seen it... I'm DESPERATE!!!!!! How many more days is it? 76? That's too long!! Must- Oo! *grabs lembas* Mmmm... not bad. Can someone pass the cheesecake? Food always helps the wait....

[Finwe]

The Physics teacher at my school claims that he controls time, so if all of you come over to my high school, he can send us forward in time, two months hence, so we can go watch Return of the King! What say you all?!

[Knight of Gondor]

I say that the wait will do us good. Too much impatience in the world, too much "gimme it now". <P>Besides, if we all saw it now, then my Support Group post would come to naught!<P>By the way, I got an advanced edition of Aragorn and Brego: The Return of the King edition. Aragorn looks COOOL. So does Brego. Aragorn has his Elven dagger, but NO sheath for Narsil, just as I predicted.

[HCIsland]

No problem. I can move us all forward in time to the premier. Unfortunately, it will take us 76 days to get there. <P>H.C.

[Aduyuldaiel-MirkwoodPrincess]

the preview didnt help me i wanna see it so bad i cant WAIT till its in theaters SO CLOSE...yet so far...

*sigh* *has a few scoops of ice cream*<P>I could just watch the <I>trailer</I> for three hours, what is the whole thing going to be like... <P>I can wait.. I think.. I'm a bit sad though, because I don't want it to be over yet...

[Sleepy Ranger]

Can I join in? You guys are so lucky. Where I live ROTK won't be out till around Feb 18th. How convenient just in time for my birthday like FOTR and TT. Man I cant wait.<p>[ October 30, 2003: Message edited by: Sleepy Ranger ]

Am I the only one who hasn't seen the trailer yet?

Any suggestions?<BR>At meantime I can keep eating...and feel free to help yourselves grapes and strawberries! They're delicious!

My sister and myself have decided that we are. She's going hobbitish while I'm deliberating between Eowyn's green gown, Arwen's blood red dress, or one of my own design.

Ooo, grapes! Hannon le, dancing spawn! <P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Is anyone dressing up for the premier?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>I am! I am going as a hobbit, but my costume is going to be kinda more Elvish (like Legolas's). It has to do with my LotR fanfic, so yeah.

I'm just mad because he wasn't in there enough! There's that split second shot of him standing by Gandalf, and then the bit with Merry's line: "We will see the Shire again."

[Enorëiel]

*waves back to Sapphire_Flame* Didn't expect to see you here *wink wink*<P>As for dressing up for the premere.... that all depends on who I go with, sadly most of my friends (I said MOST Ms. Sarah) are well... not anti-lord of the rings... more... shall we say... sane, non-obssesive lord of the rings fans. I really do want to dress up though! That'd be so awesome! Then, according to my brother I would be an offical 'Lord of the Rings Freak' A title which I am dying to hold . And besides... if I do plan on dressing up it'd at least help to keep me sane until the premere, right?

[RRyan24]

Boy am I glad this thread got started! I'm in direr need of a support group here! I'm driving my family crazy with all the RotK talk! But I simply cannot wait! And wonders of all wonders it will be realesed pretty close to my birthday! Of I feel so special! I think I'll stock up on posters and such until it comes out. I've seen the preview like a thousand times! AHHH!!!!! *squirms in her chair impatiently* ARG! Time will not pass quickly enough! *Grabs her favorite dessert...CHEESECAKE!*

[Orominuialwen]

I saw the trailer! IT WAS AWESOME!!! I'm going to go to the premiere in either my white Arwen dress (last year's Halloween costume) or in the Eowyn dress I'm making for this year. My little brother (who looks a lot like Elijah Wood) will probably go as Frodo (if he doesn't, he had better watch out !) I must have some more cheesecake to keep myself going until then! *begins to munch*

[Meela]

I can't see the other trailers either. <P>I'm dressing up on December 17th. I'm going as Mrs Denethor.

[dancing spawn of ungoliant]

Quess what, my dear friends! I found a way to avoid the stupid security thing and just saw the trailer!!! I'm so over-happy now. Shelob was quite small though, or maybe it was just a part of it.<P>Thanks to Oddwen, who posted that link...now I can watch it in two different formats <P>I quess I'm not dressing up anything LotR related. It would seem little odd here when people haven't got used to it. Maybe just an elvish-like hair do or something.<P>ps.

I've been sick all week, so everyday I watch TTT and the ROTK preview on the DVD. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!! I NEED A SUPPORT GROUP!!!!

What does 'Nevaer' mean?<P>I'm making a costume for my Textiles coursework, but I won't have finished it by the time it is released. I won't even be able to get to the premiere (despite me and my friends' cunning little plans on how to kidnap Mr. Bloom &co ).<BR>So I shall just be wearing my Ring on my finger (it is a silver one, it doesn't have a chain). Forget dressing up and being called a freak, I am called a freak for wearing the Ring. And it isn't like no one has heard of it (God forbid), because I asked my form when I did my speech (on guess what??), and only about 3 or 4 people hadn't seen it (out of 25). On the other hand only about 5 had read the books. <BR> Oh well...

I'm not technically a purist, but let's hope we have SOME quotes from the books!<P>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.

They do not see what lies ahead when sun has failed and moon is dead.' It was creepy, but also sort of cool.

[Finwe]

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]

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...<P>I'm gonna go on a donut run. Anyone want something in particular? <P>Abedithon le,<P>~*~Aranel~*~

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.

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!

*waves* Hiya Sapphire *grabs a doughnut* <P>mmm... this reminds me of... ROTK!!! *implodes from excitement*

[Finwe]

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!!!!!!!!!! <P><BR>*fumes*

[Orominuialwen]

<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]

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

[Knight of Gondor]

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]

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]

Hey, Aethelwine! Nah, I wasn't really scared...just checking, that's all... <P>Ahh, so that's what apple crisp is...never seen it before. Oh well.<P>*Scoffs a chocolate bar*<P>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.<P>*Brings a few packets of jammy dodgers* Enjoy! *Takes a few* Muahahahaha!

[Aethelwine]

Oh well, that's good, Elentari. Well, that's solved then. On to the next crazy thing!<P>How can you all stomach eating? I'm so nervous! <P>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?<P>...<P>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!<BR>Down side is the fact that, if possible, it makes the waiting even more unbeareble! *Grasps jammy dodger* What is this?<P>Love,<P>Aethelwine.

[Estelyn Telcontar]

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]

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. <P>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]

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

[Knight of Gondor]

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]

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.

[Elentári_O_Most_Mighty_1]

(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??!!!!)<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.

[Elentári_O_Most_Mighty_1]

(Pleasure, Sapphire Flame!!!)<P>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]

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

[Knight of Gondor]

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]

Since this is the support group to Rotk I thought it best to post my thoughts here:<P>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!? <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.

[Elentári_O_Most_Mighty_1]

Ahhh...is this the whole thing about camping for days and queueing up in costume??? <BR>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]

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]

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. <BR>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]

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. <P>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!).<P>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... <P><B><I>ONLY 50 DAYS LEFT UNTIL ROTK!!!</I></B><P>Abedithon le,<P>~*~Aranel~*~

[Morquesse]

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. <BR>Now, if only someone would dress in costume with me. <BR>I guess if keep looking forward to RotK, the release of Extended Version TTT will be upon us! <BR>See ya!<BR>~M

I've heard there's going to be a new RotK (or slightly new) trailer in front of Matrix: Revolutions and Elf, both of which incidentally I want to see.

[Elentári_O_Most_Mighty_1]

I want to see Matrix:Revolutions, but I'm grounded til Christmas. (That is another reason being 15 is annoying.)<BR>I really hope I can get out of being grounded in time to see ROTK!!!!

[Tintalle]

Unfortunately I do live here (Asia) And it will be shown January 2004 (really, really, really sucks! ). Because in my country there's this sort of filmfest for the whole month of December (our "Oscars" month), so all cinemas show just the local films. So all the films (which includes RotK) that came out December in the US gets pushed to January .<P>Maybe I should take away all the calendars in the house to make the wait easier ?

[salix]

If I'm lucky, this year my parents will actually remember to buy tickets in advance. On the opening day of TTT, it sold out at nine in the morning! I wasn't very happy, especially since, all the theatres in town and anywhere nearby were sold out for a few days.

[Elentári_O_Most_Mighty_1]

Oh my God! I just saw the Return of the King trailer for about the fiftieth time, and I just wept! The music is brilliant, the acting is brilliant, the lines are brilliant, by Eru, EVERYTHING is just, plain BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!

[Lady Alasse]

The reason I can't see it till it comes out on DVD is because my family doesn't believe in going to theaters. I had to wait till FotR and TTT came out on DVD to see it so I guess I'll survive.

[Tintalle]

Okay it's bad enough that the movie comes out in January in my country. But I think what's worse is that I've been watching too many movies recently and NEVER seen the ROTK trailer YET. So I guess if it all makes you weep, I better start carrying a box of Kleenex if it caught me unawares ( I think my friends will disown me when I start sobbing, 'cuz when I saw Pirates I practically squealed most of the time and they stuffed me with their jackets to shut me up )<P>Going back to my misery, all I can do now is stand in front of a ROTK poster and probably drool.

Midnight show, all the way. I'm gonna get to the theater at about 8:00 or 9:00 AM to ensure a spot at the head of the line, and then PARTY! Me and all my friends are gonna dress up, and I'm gonna bring lembas and entdraught... and Skittles. It'll be great!!!<P>Abedithon le,<P>~*~Aranel~*~

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!!<P>EDIT: ok, I just went back and checked, and they have a new one up for today.

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]

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! <P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> I need restraining.

[Finwe]

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.

oh, that sounds like fun, elennar! I usually roast my marshmallows til they're black, so I'm an expert at this!!

[Theoric Windcaller]

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

[Elentári_O_Most_Mighty_1]

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

[Sapphire_Flame]

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.<P>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! <P>Abedithon le,<P>~*~Aranel~*~

[Elentári_O_Most_Mighty_1]

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??!!! <P>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]

*hands over one of her lighters and lights a marshmallow*<P>*wins the game, naturally*<P>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]

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!

[Tintalle]

Hello! It's been awhile ...<P>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!

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.
