Server was down!

My apologies everyone, for the server being down for so long today. I’ve asked our server host to look into the speed and server issues that we’ve been having lately, and hopefully these problems will become a thing of the past. Welcome back, and I hope none of you went crazy without your CoE fix!

Aragorn will use it after it has been remade, but who originally made it? The smiths of Nogrod? Sure. But here is a wonderful article on who made the movie versions of the Narsil, Glamdring, Sting, and other swords in the trilogy, at Algonet

New Poll!

Posted on August 8, 2002 in: Updates|Post Comment

As you can see, we’ve replaced the poll in the upper right. The results for the old one (Which DVD set are you going to buy?) are as follows:

10% are getting the 2-disc set
25% are getting the 4-disc set
53% are getting both
12% are not getting either (no DVD player)
Less than 1% are not getting either for other reasons.

So it looks like New Line’s marketing ploy has worked, and most of us are going to get both sets. I think we all know the 4-disc set will be worth it, considering how chock full of extras the 2-disc set is already!

Hollywood Bowl Performs Howard Shore’s Music

Posted on August 7, 2002 in: General News|Post Comment

Lucky news for those of us living in Southern California: the Hollywood Bowl will be performing the symphony composed by Howard Shore for the Lord of the Rings movie this Friday (9th) and Saturday (10th). There are still tickets available, so if you want to go, you can order them through the Hollywood Bowl website. I’ll be there at the Saturday performance, so if anyone else is going, let me know, and we can meet up!
