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.

Really, is there any preparation for that much movie?

"preparation"= buy drinks.

Re: Release, Record: 11/9

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

Re: Release, Record: 11/9

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...

You forgot the book of Tolkien's letters in which he describes his point for writing LOTR in the first place, his interpretation of certain aspects, and Tolkien's personal beliefs.
Yeah, LOTR must be one of the must thought through works of fiction in the 20th century.
That does not include the movie production. So, yeah, to echo Dorkman, you think that's all the research to do?

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.

Is there a new thread that says what is being talked about or commented upon, I feel so lost and alone.

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.
