Lord of the Rings Trailer.

[phlogiston]

I saw it in the cinema yesterday, and I just wanna say Oh. My. Fucking. God.

It looks good as a tiny, jerky low res internet trailer, as a huge, smooth picture with THX sound (or whatever, just know it's loud and noisy) it looks freakin' awesome.

I just finished reading the first book, The Fellowship Of The Rings the night before last. So I am quite excited.

btw - I also read The Philosopher's Stone last week, so I'm looking forward to that too.

Reading Ice Station at the moment. Unfuckingreal!

edited cos I screwed up.

In anticipation of what will no doubt be a bad ass movie, I started reading the first book of the series the other day.

I'm rereading Fellowship at the moment. I read it years ago, but so far I don't remember any of it Well, I remember everything up to the part where Bilbo disappears, which is in the first chapter.

What's "The Ice Storm" like? The movie's great (assuming we're talking about the same "Ice Storm" here!).

 

[Sydo]

Whoops!! I meant to say..

I'm reading Ice Station by Australian author Matthew Reilly.
Fantastic book so far.

 

[Spiff]

Thought you might have had it wrong - Ice Storm and Lord of the Rings aren't very similar thematically, so I was wondering why you'd mention them both in the same breath

 

[Sydo]

Well Ice Station has nothing to do with Lord Of The Rings either.
It's just your typical Tom Clancy / Clive Cussler action novel. But I thought I'd mention it because it's really good!

I don't really think it was all I've been led to believe either. Although I've only finished the first book..

Should be great! I don't think they could make it a piece of Hollywood crap tho, they just couldn't disgrace one of the greatest novels of all time with a cash-in flick.
