Nope, one of the movies that Sci-Fi picked up for broadcast. I do think that it's the first time it's been shown anywhere--IIRC, in the interview (I think it was the ignfilmforce.com one), Astin said that it was filmed in Africa, and then never managed to get sold to any studio and it never went to video, either.

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".
A discussion of Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King. If you're a pervy hobbit fancier, this is the place for you.
Ouch. If it's too bad for STV, then it's really bad.
And yet, not so bad that Sci Fi won't air it.

Dude. "Riverworld".
Nothing is so bad that Sci-Fi won't air it.
I just got home from my parents' house and secular!Easter dinner and have my dad's FotR EE DVDs in my hands. Whee! I don't own them (I know, I know - I'm not quite sure why I don't either except that now I am unemployed and cannot buy it) and have not seen the EE or the documentaries in for.ever.
I'm really much more excited about this than I should be.
Resisting urge to sign this post "Ooooh DomDomDom!" 'cause that is exactly how I feel. I'm so 14.
Actually, though it had problems I was more entertained by Riverworld than not -- I particularly liked the guy they had for Sam Clemens.
Saw Hidalgo last night. Thought Mortenson had good chemistry with his horse, who really was a charmer. I hope this convinces Hollywood Mortenson is leading man material so that he gets good roles in the future.
I clicked on Riverworld in the middle, channel surfing.
"Why is there a sidewheeler heading from Lorien to Amon Hen?" I confess I stayed with it for a while just hoping for more NZ scenery.
I watched a show on the National Geographic channel yesterday called "Dangerous Jobs," focusing on a Search and Rescue team on Mt. Cook in NZ's Southern Alps. Every time they did a camera pan over the mountains, I flashed back on the opening shot of TTT.
I spent Easter with my extended family, and my aunt and uncle had just returned from a trip to New Zealand not long ago. I pored over their pictures for at least an hour, going "That looks like where Gollum caught the fish! Oh, and that looks like the Ford of Rivendell!" *sigh* I wanna go there so badly!
I might get the chance in January.
