The Two Towers
23 December 2002
Yes, it's finally here, and most of you have probably seen it already! Unfortunately we have to wait until Boxing Day - hope my fellow Aussies have their tickets already ;-) I was lucky enough to be given a ticket to the preview last Thursday here in Adelaide, all I can say is - GO SEE IT!! LOL. Don't want to give anything away, but I will say, Legolas fans won't be disappointed in their Elf. He kicks some serious butt.
On another note, I wish all visitors to my site Happy and Safe Holidays, and all the best for the festive season! Don't overdo it too much Christmas Night, or you won't be able to get up early Boxing Day to see that first screening of TTT!

18 December 2002
If you still don't have your tickets to see TTT when it's released this Boxing Day, why not check out your local Line Party at TheOneRing.net? You'll have a great time going with a group of fellow enthusiasts. Due to the fact I'm Line Leader in my area, I felt the need to promote it >;-)

Extended TTT DVD
14 December 2002
During a recent interview with CBBC Newsround, Peter Jackson revealed there will be an Extended TTT DVD, with a similar amount of extra footage (30 minutes or so) as the FOTR one. He also made this comment when asked about ROTK: "We've got a rough cut. And I just started last week, before I came over here, I started to do the final cutting of it which will take me about three months. And then there's all the visual effects to do and the music and everything else so we're pretty busy next year. The third one is my favourite I think of the three."
If you are after advance tickets in Australia, Reading Cinemas are now selling them.
