Can't find that this has already been linked to, so here goes: <A HREF="http://www.lordoftheringsresearch.net/" TARGET=_blank>http://www.lordoftheringsresearch.net/</A> Its a major international research project by the University of Aberystwyth into the impact of the movies.

I've filled it in. It was slightly irritating that it was just ROTK based, though, it would have been easier to answer if it encompassed all three. Does TORN know about this? Because although it was in the newspapers a while ago, I forgot about it and certainly didn't know what form their research was taking (ie an internet questionnaire).EDIT: Oh, and thanks for the link, Davem![ 10:08 AM January 09, 2004: Message edited by: Elentári_O_Most_Mighty_1 ]

I started a thread on this, but it's disappeared a few pages along. I ended up submitting two. I forgot half the points I wanted to make the first time round.

Jjudvven · 01-09-2004, 11:29 AM

Well I filled it out. And I also thought that it should have been about all three films as a whole, but oh well. Thanks a bunch for the link, I'll be sure to pass it on.

Sleeping Beauty · 01-09-2004, 02:34 PM

I filled it out as well. Thanks for the link. The results shall be interesting to see when they are done....

stickifinger · 01-09-2004, 04:42 PM

I filled it out. Keep passing it on.

The Dark Elf · 01-09-2004, 05:07 PM

i filled it out. i passed it on to my friends

Eothain Elfwine · 01-09-2004, 05:43 PM

Thanks. I took the survey and will pass it on to my friends. I found myself answering as much from the books as from the movies and had to curb that instinct!

davem · 01-10-2004, 02:54 AM

I hope it gets a lot of responses, & I'm sure the proposed book will be one of the more interesting products resulting from the movie project. I'm hoping it will still be going when the SEE comes out, so they can get a 'definitive' view from the fans when they're finally able to see the whole thing as PJ means it to be.

Phervasaion · 01-10-2004, 04:59 AM

Yep ive filled it in. Did any of you give them your phone number?

Arwen_Evenstar · 01-10-2004, 05:40 AM

Good question Phervasaion, I have filled it in, but not submitted it yet...i want to put in my number but I am always hesitant about such things online...has anyone else put it in? ~nat~

Phervasaion · 01-10-2004, 12:07 PM

I was going to but i changed my mind in the last minute. Can you give them a mobile number or just a home phone?

Finwe · 01-10-2004, 01:53 PM

I just filled it out, and I included my number. I suppose you could include either your home phone number or your mobile number, as long as they can contact you easily at that number, it should be fine.

stickifinger · 01-12-2004, 07:56 AM

I filled it out last week and included my number. I haven't hear from them yet, but I'm looking forward to it.
