Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

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".

Thanks sumi, I knew they were coming to Houston sometime in 2005 (from one of your posts, probably) but hadn't heard any dates. When I saw that Indiana had actual dates, I started to worry.

I'm checking the museum's web site pretty regularly. It'd be a long drive just to check advertising - I'm planning on making the exhibit the centerpiece of a roadtrip.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.

Am I the only one that feels that the retraction of the Dec. 14 street date is a very bad sign?

If I have to wait till next year for this......!

It looks like the exhibit is hanging out in each city for about 3 months -- so Indy gets the last quarter of 2005 -- there are still 3 other quarters, right?

Yup. I'm switching from pessimistic to optimistic :-)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I should actually be going to the Houston MNS next week, when my brother-in-law is in town, so I'll keep my eyes open.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I can get to the Indiana exhibit.

We should go together!

Heh. I am laughing at my own willingness to plan to attend events more than a year in advance. The LotR fandom has long-term vision, because it knew from the beginning that the source of its fannishness was a years-long process.

Very true.

Jon-Paul writes: Thought you might like to mention on your news page that the Shore/Walsh/Lennox composition from ROTK "Into the West" has been covered by a New Zealand based Russian teenage pop/opera sensation "Yulia". Her debut album, aptly titled "Into the West" is released in NZ tomorrow, Mon Sept 13, and her official website has a full length WMA audio stream of "Into the West" in the "Music" section. [More]

From the bottom of the RotKEE spoiler page:

Other rumors:

TORn staffers also reported that the ROTK Extended Edition may, repeat MAY, play theatrically during or close to Thanksgiving weekend. Also, that there is a possibility of another set of DVDs with additional footage in 2006 or 2007, but the films themselves will not be recut. The possibilities are endless, given that about 12 MILLION feet of documentary footage was shot.
