Nope, they're all off in meditation trying to prepare themselves for the Lotr marathon next week. The Dark Knight is released this week though.

"preparation"= buy drinks.

I figure if they start drinking now, they should be good to go by the time the actual movies start.

No, no... preparation consists of watching all three extended editions 5 times (as there are four commentary tracks). That's 60 hours. Then all the box-set making-of extras. Another 25+ hours. Then reading the Tolkien books, Jackson biography, Serkis' book on creating Gollum, and Sean Astin's book, relevant fan blogs, wiki pages, imdb pages, Hobbit production diaries, easter eggs, MTV parodies, Costa Botes behind-the-scenes films, promotional interviews, etc...  tongue

not long to go now...

And there's even an excellent book, by Doug Adams, on the Lord of the Rings scores... detailing Howard Shore's composing, orchestration, instrumentation, the key to the many leitmotifs, etc.
I'd rank the LOTR score up with with Williams finest for Star Wars especially the last hour of Return of the King which has hardly any dialogue. Jackson has given Shore more room to breathe, than Lucas did for Williams.

I think Teague mentioned to me that DiF was happening this weekend, but I'm curious as to the what and when? Today? Tomorrow? And to quote Steve Martin, "What in the hell is it?!" smile

Would you look at that! The timezone difference at last works in us Brits' favour - we can celebrate Easter with our families and be back in time for tea, cakes and DIF.

Re: Release, Record: 11/9

I was wondering when someone was gonna ask. Only took until Wednesday.  tongue

My computer is in the shop this week, and I've been a whiny bitch about wanting to mix the episode on some other computer.

I'm used to them coming out later and later, so it wasn't until Tuesday was past that I considered it past due smile

I still have a spare desktop, if you want to invest in a cheap secondary system to keep you busy with.
