: I just checked out a LOTR movie web site at http://www.eonline.com/Features/Specials/Lordrings
: This isn't an ad for it, since I have no connection, but it's interesting because it's the first site that I know of with "insider" status behind the scenes, so the amount of information and the quality of presentation is good. (The "official" movie web site didn't have much content the last time I looked.) I think that as time goes by, all the fan-based LOTR movie web sites are going to find it harder and harder to compete with these big bucks professional sites. It's also an interesting site since it really is aimed at the general public, with some funny typos and mistakes on Tolkien matters. I was just going to post this. Ya beat me to it. ;) Anyway, interesting (and disheartening to me) that Legolas has blond hair. :( It's official. Oh well. Some others might object, but I think the costuming sounds fairly spectacular (and accurate as far as I could tell with a quick read). And I'm intrigued by the "beetle" descriptions of the orcs. Maybe PJ is going full steam ahead with the "orcs are hatched" rumor and making them part insect. Or maybe the E!Online reporters are as superficial (and innacurate as a way of being provocative) as the ones on the TV channel. ;) Interesting in any case. And as far as strider is concerned, the muddier the better! ;) Cheers. Dave C-Q
