Although some of the things in that document are slightly weird. It's got Aragorn's coronation, which is a choral member's solo, in movement 2, and it's definitely not until movement 6.

I'll take a look when I get my score.

Thank you!

Because they haven't squeezed all the discretionary income out of Beverly, Jeff Mejia, Sumi and Kathy Astrom yet?

Hey!! Well, no, wait--it's a fair cop.

Actually, the only movie memorabilia that I've bought for myself have been the Minas Tirith thingee that came with the RotkEE gift set, a LotR bookmark with ring attached to the tassel, the DVDs, and soundtracks. Everything else was either book-related or given to me. They got enough money out of me with all the tickets I bought to see the films.

Although I will go out and buy the boxed complete soundtrack set when it's released (the one with all 9+ hours of EE soundtrack included).

I did right-click all the pictures I could find both of the Meduseld set with the banners and the banner bookmarks, with an eye towards making a set, realscale, for myself.

Ooh, sounds great, Beverly! At the exhibit here of TTT props and sets in 2002, they had a lot of the great Rohan stuff. The banners looked really good. The attention to detail on the Rohan-themed gear was just exquisite, particularly for movie stuff. I think I gushed here before about the backs of things that wouldn't show on camera being complete and lovely. So many of those things were created, not like props, but like things that would be part of someone's life. They looked like historical artifacts. in many cases.

t hides all his LOTR stuff

Like Kathy, I was mostly fortunate in that my family seized on the movie memorabilia as stuff they could relate to (finally) and that I would love as gifts. I say mostly, because I did some of the damage myself. I didn't buy a sword, but oh man, it was close a few times.

Dude, ita's already got Legolas' knives hanging over her door. Get on it.

I got Sting for Christmas two years ago. Damned sweet blade for killing snowmen with.

I still want to get Aragorn's knife (the one he got from Celeborn). It's pretty, and curvy, and lethal.

And now I sound like ita.

I think one of my favorite Weta-geek-out stories I heard on the commentaries was from Bernard Hill on the TTTEE, when he told about getting a couple of old walking-sticks-with-leather-seats-on-top at a garage sale in NZ so he would have something to lean on while wearing the full set of armor that made it impossible for him to properly sit down. A Weta leather worker told him that he could fix up the tears in the seats if Bernard wanted him to, so he took the guy up on the offer. When he got the seats back, they were elaborately decorated in hand-tooled leather, with Rohirric royal emblems covering the seats. Bernard was in awe.

I'm still blown away by the waka (sp?) that the stunt team did for Bernard and Viggo on their last day on set.

They were obviously quite moved by it too, but it definitely made me all misty and choked up, watching the supplimental stuff.

Awww, that's lovely.

Why don't we all have Weta staff at our disposal?
