LotR - The Return of the King: "We named the *dog* 'Strider'".
Frodo: Please, what does it always mean, this... this "Aragorn"? Elrond: That's his name. Aragorn, son of Arathorn. Aragorn: I like "Strider." Elrond: We named the *dog* "Strider".

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Uh, has anyone else heard about Harvey Weinstein sticking his snout into the RotK EE and trying to fuck it up because he wants to farm the SFX out to a cheaper company than Weta?
Sounds pretty bullshit! Like a poorly thought out rumor soup of biggest movie of the year + biggest movie asshole of the moment.

Actually, I heard that New Line were the ones who wanted to outsource the RotKEE, but I think that was just an internet rumor that came out after the TTTEE doc revealed that NL didn't want Weta Digital working on Gollum to begin with.

I'm so glad we're getting the theatrical release sooner than August.
I just saw the movie again yesterday and I cried at the end-credits. Possibly because this was most likely the last time I will see it in the theatre.

Oh, and Singapore is getting encore of the Trilogy (according to TORN).
Perhaps that could happen here. . . with an extended RotK?

"Don't think of yourself as an organic pain collector racing towards oblivion." Dogbert to Dilbert
Miramax would have nothing to say about the EE, and in fact has had little to say about the entire prodcution once New Line took over. Once New Line acquired the rights, the only thing Miramax got was some money (for their original investments) and the Weinsteins listed as producers.
It was New Line itself that was rumored to be threatening to go cheap on the EE special effects. Maybe they are trying to maximize profit now that no new LOTR is coming down the pike. All in all, though, it sounds very silly and short-sighted, as do most things that studios say.

move out and draw fire
My roomie's daughter asked about something in the LOTR game that she didn't see in the movie: "Daddy, where was the Mouse of Sauron?"
If Disney gets their hands on it from New Line, maybe it will be the Mouse of Sauron...or maybe that's what they are calling Michael Eisner?

There's a great list of early reports from the set back in 1999 and 2000 here, including a series of reports archived on E!Online.
These mention lots of stuff that didn't make the final cut of RotK, including when Frodo and Sam get shanghaied in Mordor. During one of the breaks from filming this scene, "Astin hulks over to see his wife and three-year-old daughter, who are visiting the set. Astin's daughter happily clambers onto her dad's knee, placing Barbie stickers on his Orc armor, while Jeremy the makeup boy snaps a Polaroid of the two. It's a touching--if slightly offbeat--Kodak moment."
Awww!
