*belches*

Have y'guys all seen my cameo in Rivendell?
I'm the big fat hairy guy that the hobbits see right before they get to the Inn of the Prancing Pony. I belch very loudly. I rock.

I feel like that now, just not all rainy-wet.

Went out to m'meeting w/ Fran and Phillis discussing some of the WETA effects and planning th'new shots Sean and Elijah and I are going to be shooting in New Zealand in th'next few months.

I've been getting so much crap about my decision to move Shelob into The Tower Towers instead of Return of the King... *sigh* so there will be some very lovely Frodo/Sam scenes we're going to film to add in that are entirely new scenes not from the books (hope you don't mind). These will make Sam seem a little less side-kicky, which is all he comes off as in TTT right now, since Shelob has been tacked on to the beginning of RotK.

Anyway, I'm sure y'all don't want to listen to me delve all my boring secrets for the upcoming two new movies.

But, I am curious: what did y'all think of the trailer?!


I'm, uuh, off to ponder this proposal (literally) some more.

I think I need a Heineken...

Yes, yes, well Boromir died in TTT as well but I put that in FotR. So Shelob is at the end of TTT bookwise and is now going to be the beginning of RotK moviewise therefore taking the ingenius Empire Strikes Backesque cliffhanger and Sam's pivotal turning point in the triology and turning it into yet another small stupid monster they must fight before they face the super bad guy at the end in RotK. Go me.

Really, there is a lot more to it that that, but yes. I have taken lots of creative liscense here.
