Umm...I don't think anyone's said it yet, but I'm pretty certain that Frodo is lying on his back in that picture. Don't you think? Of course that may have been obvious to all the rest of you! Good lord though, how do they make him look so gaunt?? This movie WILL be the death of me.

(((Meryl)))...assuming she hasn't made a run to the border yet...

Oh, Meryl! Go for it! Euro, send it! send it!!! It's frickin' hilarious and brilliant!

So being a button slut finally paid off today. Not a Fro, but I scored a Sam pin! I went into the video store, and the two employees were *wearing* Legolas and Aragorn pins... I asked if they were giving any away, and the guy very firmly said that they had to wear them, and couldn't give them away until the movie came. I said, "Next Tuesday, then?" And he chuckled and said "I guess you're a real fan of Lord of the Rings." I nodded geekily and said "Yes, and it's become a bit of a quest to find these pins... no one has them. Especially Frodo or Sam..." He looks at me, fishes in a box behind him and holds up a Sam pin. "Samwise Gamgee?" he says. "Yes!" giggle I. And he hands it over. I smile more, he smiles, I thank him profusely, and a happy geek walks out the door. Girl behind the counter just kind of watched the whole thing amusedly. I fully realize I have no pride left where LOTR is concerned, but as a full-fledged geeky button slut, I tell myself "well, DUH!" But you have a Sam pin!

It's the little things in life!

That picture is going to be the death of me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Peachy--that was so beautiful. Count me as one of the teary-eyed masses.

So proud to be a member of P.E.A.C.H.Y.

Anais--am off to Vermont this weekend, but I will definitely give you a call next week.

Vermont. Sigh... I had loved it so much before, but now it is especially meaningful to me, as I'm certain I won't be able to do much this weekend without laughing at all the wonderful Harem memories that will come bubbling up.

Hewene--you go girl! I'm afraid that with the exception of last week's one notable success, I've been coming up dry pin-wise. People have been absolutely curt in their responses to me when I ask them about the pins--apparently, someone at New Line got their panties in a twist last year about how the pins were being given away and they don't want any more of that. So today I bit the bullet and went eBay and hope to have my set next week. Last year was so much fun stopping here and there, picking up this one and that one--this year my experience overall has NOT been fun and I really have little more desire to continue. I hope the rest of you can find more personable people than the majority of the ones I've had to deal with (with the exception of GeekBoy from last week--oh GeekBoy, our time together was too short...)

Meryl--can I just tell you that that is absolutely priceless????

Priceless!!!!

The whole thing is just so quotable--I don't even know where to begin, though Ellin made a great start! {{{Ellin}}}!

Please Meryl, please put that up over in the Archive! Only I don't think we have a skit/play section...maybe Ariel can come up with a new sub-category?

Hey, has anyone else seen this "Tolkien Trivia Board Game" that's out? Has it been out long? I just saw it today--Evil, thy Name is Credit Card Temptress..."

Meryl, my arse is completely off now.

"...To stay behind desks until use and old age accept them and all chance of swooning has gone beyond recall or desire."

Genius!

Hewene: My mental movie of that scene has you dressed up like Shirley Temple, charming the loot out of Mr. Hooper the grocer.

I have a planeload of relatives showing up tomorrow. They're staying with me. House looks like whoever lives here spends most of her time either at work or outside, coming home just long enough to track mud, dog hair, and dirty dishes. So I figure the best use of my time is to ignore it like I always do, and talk with you guys instead, and watch the Gregory Peck-athon on TV.

Not too SPOILERY, but kinda.

Even his chestnut curls have dulled.

No time today... am trying to go to bed at a reasonable hour, as school starts tomorrow

Pins: I saw a woman with a FRODO! one today at Walmart. Naturally lost my head. Hared over to the electronics section, and they said they didn't even have them Gits. I don't suppose I could have bribed her to part with it . . . probably not, considering I only have 10 dollars. Sigh.

Peachy--lovely

Meryl--

Frodo angst picture: I've done nothing but whimper since I saw that My schoolwork is going to take a nosedive this year. How do they expect me to work when Frodo is suffering???

I cannot do anything right this week!!

Sorry I will convert it to a link. It was a less distorted version of THE pic. We posted other ones from the dvd and no one minded so I thought it was OK. Grovels and begs for forgiveness.

Um, uh, I think he's....OMG!

More on that ROTK Frodo angst pic:

SPOILERS!!

Having stared at this image for entirely too long today it's been suggested to me via another list that our dear Frodo has something far more delicate than spilled water down his chin. Could they perchance be a certain hobbit companion's tears? In which case if this is true...then...Frodo might very well be...eeeeps! His eyes are looking a little dull. I read somewhere that they put in these "dulling" contacts for Elijah to wear in a certain "key" scene. Seeing as final digital color editing has not yet been performed on ROTK, I do believe we're seeing the contacts which leaves me with only one conclusion:

Somebody's gonna be closing those eyes.

Weeeeep!

Why oh why don't I have a teary smilie?

If those pics are any indication, this movie will kill us all. Maybe New Line should put a warning label on it's ads. *Warning: viewing may cause heart palpatations or breakage.* And I'm sure the movie theaters could have boxes of kleenex near the doors to hand out to fans entering the theater, not to mention EMS standing by.

Only 118 days...... sniffle, sob

Euro- Why did you have to say that!!!!!!!! Waaaahhhhh!!!!! Frodo!!!!!!!

I am bringing a pocketbook full of tissues to ROTK and I fully believe I will need every one of them ...plus more to hand out to those around me. I know I heard lots of sniffling just in TTT so ROTK is going to make Kleenex rich!

Lily looks at picture again...

wrings hands. Bites nails.

Gets up, walks about room.

Sits back down. Looks at picture. Wrings hands. Bites nails.

For the very briefest of moments she reflects on how if she had never read Tolkien all those years ago she'd be happily watching the Tonite Show right now instead of dealing with knots in her stomach.

Of course such thoughts are madness and if there was ever any lesson or gift Tolkien gave us it is the thought that often times it is the pierced heart that beats the strongest.

Lily goes off to sob into her pillow...


Why am I writing in the third person??? Good lord, I am cracked....

Meryl! You have some skill with a pen! That was totally funny, and a little sad at the same time. Thank you! And I'm saying as before, it doesn't matter that NL promotes the Cult of Arwen as long as we know what's what!

Euro, since Meryl mentioned that The Picture (sob) follows a pan-up from Frodo's neck with the Ring chain cut into it, I'm thinking this may perhaps happen later in the story than Choices?

The water drops..... I was thinking tears too, but for one moment I admit I was thinking "haremite tears" !

My best guess is that he's lying down and Sam has fed him some water, like was suggested above.

I still love that picture. And the other angsty Sam one. This film is going to be..... heartwrenching.
4 months to go.....

I still think water drops and I still think Mount Doom. Frodo's lips are so parched. One droplet has a track running from the corner of Frodo's mouth. I hope they are going to provide counselling at the cinemas

I've just seen a pic that makes my heart race! I'm not sure if some of you have already seen it, but it's gorgeous. It's very poor quality, though. I won't say anything else but...

Still looking at that photo. More speculation.

Maybe not at Mt Doom but during the journey in the Land of Shadow, resting against a rockface just after finding some water. "And I'm so tired. And the Ring is so heavy, Sam. And I begin to see it in my mind all the time, like a great wheel of fire."

Whatever it is I'm going to have tears pouring down my face when I see it.

Peachy. Meryl. Wonderful again.

I wonder if any of those pics are the famous "squash court" scene. But I suspect that with the reshoots, that was probably scrapped.

Wait wait, you mean that WETA is not fond of Arwen either?? Now, is that because they're truly book fans, or because Liv Tyler didn't get to wear (and, I daresay, wasn't able to use) any of their cool stuff? Or both? Please, tell us what you know! (if you can)

oh, and one more thing...

MARRY ME, RICHARD TAYLOR!!

just kidding, but I wonder what it would be like to wake up to that accent every day..
or to go to bed with that accent

don't mind me, just being silly today

Elda - I can see what you mean, but I really think that's Frodo. You can't get too good a look, but I don't think it's Sam.

Merewyn - I thought the same thing...especially due to its placement in the slide show. If that really is after Shelob, and if these pics are in any kind of order, then Shelob looks to be almost toward the end of the film! Although I suppose that could be the case, I would think the confrontation would be more toward the beginning or early middle.

Plus, you have to remember that Frodo still has his cloak on during the confrontation with Shelob and when Sam prepares his 'body.' He's got it on in all the other shots from Shelob's Lair, so where is it in these two pics?

I, personally, think those two shots are as Merewyn said and the one of Sam is him looking down at Frodo as he begins to crawl - right before Sam picks him up to carry him. But I suppose we'll all see in December.

But the ROTK promo calendar shot of Sam holding Frodo post-Shelob...there's no cloak. And the ROTK DVD preview shows a lot of ash on Frodo's face as he climbs Mt. Doom. (I don't own the DVD yet, but I've seen the full 12 minute preview.) In the shot in question, there's no cloak and no ash and his face dirt looks quite similar to the calendar shot. The angsty tear-streaked shot of Sam shows same face-dirt patterns to the calendar pic as well. Not that we know for certain if the Frodo and Sam pics are of the same scene or not, but my money's on post Shelob attack. Which means......sniffle....if he's not...*choak*....he's close. Do we know necessarily when the chain begins to cut his neck anyway?

---euro, still weepy over this

NON-SPOILER PS:

My husband surprised me with Orc Armor SAM last night at Wal Mart, for a bargain $6.95! Jeeze, I paid $20 for Orc Armor Frodo at Comic Con. Frodo is very very happy now, he spent the night cuddled up in Sammy's arms. Sniffle. They have "cuddle action." I've never been able to get my little figures in past fandoms to cuddle! So cute. Wish I had a digital camera or I'd share.

Well, now that Hobmom blew that particular barrier for me, I went ahead and looked at Nivina's picture (I'm still not *reading* spoilers!)

SPOILER DISCUSSION:

I've got to say, I'm not sure what you guys are seeing, but that very blurry picture Nivina attached looks like PJ to me. Baggy greyish T-Shirt sleeve hanging off his outstretched left arm, beard around the mouth, possibly even headphones. There is a picture that shows PJ demonstrating a stance to Sean that looks somewhat similar:

I don't see Frodo *or* Sam anywhere in there... JMVVHO YMMV

That said, that picture of Frodo is AMAZING!!! ACK!!!!


Euro, congrats on the OA Sam! Actually bought at WalMart! Amazing. I must admit, I never thought of cuddling OAS and OAF. Shame on me. I did, however, notice the nicely molded buns and bulge *under* the chainmail. (Oi! Don't ask)...
