[ZION] LOTR
Hm. First Tom Matkin claims to dislike LOTR, and now Marc says he isn't a fan. Maybe there is something in the water up there in Canada??? Mark Gregson doesn't seem to be affected much by it, but it may just be a matter of time. If I notice Mark discussing the benefits of socialized medicine, I'll know he's been assimilated!

[ZION] LOTR
Spoiler warning Mark Gregson gave some answers, but not all were correct. Here are the corrected ones: > 4) Who is Gollum's friend that helps him? Mark: He didn't have any friends. He _claimed_ to have powerful friends, meaning of course Sauron and his evil minions. They did help him escape the Elves but it wasn't an act of friendship. Gary: Actually, his friend was Shelob the spider. > 6) How many palantiri are there total, and how many are known of by the > end of book 3? Mark: Hmm, I'm running through the Rhymes of Lore and I believe it goes: Seven stones and one white tree. End of book three: that would have to be two; Saruman's and Sauron's.I've forgotten what happened to the other four. Lost or destroyed, but how? Gary: Actually, there are three known. The Steward of Gondor also has one, which falls into the plot of the ensuing movies. Oh, and I have the other three. I'm keeping two and selling the others on EBay So you did decently on the questions, getting most right, and some partially correct. The only one you totally failed on would be question #4, where he and Shelob work in conjunction with each other to get what they want.

[ZION] LOTR Two Towers
Well, I'm excited for movie two. I want to see it opening night, not sure how I'll work that in to my life with a baby. My husband has seen Fellowship for the first time on DVD over Thanksgiving weekend, so now he wants to see Two Towers with me, hurrah. A friend brought the DVD by at Thanksgiving, so I got to see much of that backstory, making-of footage. Made me more excited to see the next installment. Made me wonder why I'm not doing cool stuff in my life, like making scale models of orthanc, or designing elven swords, or more particularly, designing and making the costumes. My daughter was Fleur de la Coeur for Halloween, and making her costume was too fun. She's a natural platinum blonde at this age, and her good friend already claimed the Hermione role. My prediction for this Two Towers movie is that it will be violent. As I was rereading Two Towers this week, I was noticing a preponderance of battle scenes. Also, I 'm looking forward to Eowyn's character being introduced to the movie--a fabulous character that could be the star of a lesser work. Reading two of the books a measure of fan status? I'm running into geek rating. I've read the entire LOTR trilogy four times in the last thirteen months. Too me, the dividing line between the fans and the fanatics is learning elvish. Though now more people talk about LOTR and I find I know much more about it that other readers, I believe I should give in to my interest in the languages of middle earth. apparently I'm a tolkien geek anyway.
