Frodo (grimly): This is The Harem. You’ve seen them before, haven’t you? Get up now or they’ll cut your throat!

(The Harem step forward. The Exec gets to his knees slowly, a piteous wail forming in his throat.)

KER-SPLORRRRRRRTTTTTT!!!

Brilliance, Meryl. Sheer brilliance.

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)...

Will get back to Fro-swooning soon ..

But Elda is right ..There is a massive computer virus being spread via email. And for some reason lots of us whose emails are on some kind of LOTR site are getting our inboxes flooded with the thing . I got over 50 since last night. DO NOT OPEN THE ATTACHMENTS THAT COME WITH THEM!!!! It helps to check for full headers though and see what the IP code is. ALL mine came from ONE IP code. This doesn't mean that is the person actually sending them though. The hacker who is really sending them get's into that person's email if the attachment is opened and the virus starts sending out more messages via that person's email.

Here is the news story about this bug.

Hobmom and elda, yes, you are both correct. Watch out folks, big ass virus doing it's thing. So far, that virus has only hit my work email address, but luckily, our work email caught and scrubbed the virus from all 235 email messages that I got from email addresses in my brothers' address book. You have to be SO CAREFUL these days. At least it doesn't do any *damage*, it's just EXTREMELY annoying!

The good news is, according to the article Hobmom linked to, the virus expires on Sept. 10. Oi.

Euro, you hubby sounds like fun. And Ghyste, I'd join you in the OAF/OAS posing, but since I'm at work, I'd be afraid who'd see them. It's one thing for people to accept they're on my desk... but in *THAT* condition??!

Holy crap! According to Bunnie Bugs in the Faculty, that angst pic of Fro, including bloody neck, is the new official teaser poster for RotK. Go look!

Oh crap, it's all x-ed now. Let me go looking...

EDIT: A-ha. There are five new ones, like the Aragorn pic. Torn's got them all. Click on them for bigger resolution...

p.s. virus. Ah, would that be Outlook "virus magnet" Express again? When the IT people put XP on my laptop at work I threatened them with death if they put Outlook anywhere NEAR my computer.

I have seen it (thanks for the link, Erendis).

The "teaser" poster. The bloody neck. OMG. OMG. OMG. OMG.

What a harrowing image for a poster. Good GOD.

I'm too moved to frenzy. I mean, really, I'm shaking.

I'll just be on heavy meds until December.

(OK, Tiny Frenzy: I've just spent ten minutes staring at that image and he looks like hell but he's still so beautiful. He's still so frigging beautiful it hurts. Really. It hurts. Oh. My. God.)

And thank you for the virus heads-up.

Oh, you're so right... it hurts! I've never imagined that a pic could move me to tears and leave me broken, but this one does.

Thanks for posting the link, Erendis.

On the pic I've posted earlier today: I still think it's Frodo... but I might be wrong.

His eyes. His beautiful, tortured, red-rimmed eyes.

His neck. His gorgeous, tender, ring-lashed neck.

His clothes. His wonderful, filthy, stained and torn by grief and long journey clothes.

His mouth. His swollen, cracked and broken lips.

His eyes.

His neck.

His clothes.

His mouth.

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.

Well, I've walked around the room some and collected some stuff from the car, and finished going crazy, and have now come back to look, and look some more, at that poster.

It's true: Despite it all, he's still so very beautiful. How *can* that be?

I don't feel like swooning, or squeeing..... I just look at that silently, - and my heart hurts.



And all that because of something I somehow rationally *know* is a poster advertising the mega blockbuster movie of the year, featuring the top billed actor in movie makeup! In a way, that is so very surreal.

I'm not supposed to be here, I'll be called back to work any second -- but who can resist the Squire looking all draggled and gorgeous? No one looks that good, not even on Oscar night. It's got to be the bone structure. And the skin. And the muscle. And the soul...

Just wanted to thank Meryl Marie for the delightful field trip to New Line, and Europanya for a huge laugh over the "spreadeagled maneuver." How can molded buns "look" soft? Anything cooking with those pots and pans?

Gak, phone rings. Must run. Keep it up, Harem!

You're right Maeglian - its a complete mystery. To be in such a dreadful, pitiable state and yet still exude such beauty - just amazing. And thanks for posting it Hobmom - but the effect its had on me is quite shattering - how I'll survive this movie I really do not know

Narya - everything you said - ditto!!

Bagendbabe - nice to see you here. We do know each other, but I'll keep you guessing for a bit

Maeglian, you are just going to have to lose that particular grip on reality. Definitely. It's not doing you any good. That is *not* a poster with an actor - that's Frodo, in agony. Sheeee! Go with it, girl!





Ariel, if that poster doesn't up your angst meter big time, I'm putting you on my prayer list.

OH...MY...GOD!!!

I was NOT prepared for the impact of that picture as a poster! It is too beautiful to even BEGIN to describe. It looks like an exquisite painting.

To anybody who is avoiding picture spoilers: Don't cheat yourself out of seeing this now. Life is just too short.

And for a moment he lifted up the Phial and looked down at his master, and the light burned gently now with the soft radiance of the evening-star in summer, and in that light Frodo's face was fair of hue again, pale but beautiful with an elvish beauty, as of one who has long passed the shadows. ~ The Two Towers

Wrenching, agonizing, emotionally pulverizing....... Isn't that the way ROTK is supposed to be? I sure hope so!!!! Of course it moves on to the bittersweet ending. Everyone succeeds in their part of the quest...But at what horrific cost?

I think that poster conveys exactly what ROTK should be.

Please, PJ! Please, let it be that way!!!!
