Has anyone else seen it? The movie itself was quite imaginative, if a little on the creepy side. However, the reason I mention it is that early on in the movie there's a scene set in a mall. As the camera pans across a bookshop, it slows noticeably so that the poster on the window cannot be missed. And just to show that PJ still has Tolkien in his head, the poster is an advertisement for The Lord of the Rings. To his credit, it's for the book, not the movie.

Glad to read that you're enjoying yourself and finding out lots of interesting stuff. I haven't heard from Michael (or for that matter anyone on this mail list) for a few weeks. We were in Tasmania from 7 to 15 of May, and I've got lots of photos - over 2000 would you believe? A feature: when we were at Cradle Mountain Lodge overnight, we awoke to find snow the next morning. I've got an animation gif on http://www.bullsheet.sf.org.au/bullsheet_99.html which shows 30 pictures of that snow.

Coincidentally, we were also in Tassie on the weekend of the 15th and 16th. We were in Launceston. The e-mail front may be quite but everything else is in full gear. I've been in correspondence with Rose Mitchell who is co-chairing Aussiecon 4, and who has kindly given us a plug in their next progress report. I'm still short a talk or two however, and I don't think it will be as large as the Sydney moot. I note that the concurrent Tolkien Seminar in England is also struggling to attract interest. Maybe if we tell the world that Tolkien had werewolves in his stories things would be different. ;-) Michael > -----Original Message----- > From: list-bounces at tolharndor.org [mailto:list- > bounces at tolharndor.org] On Behalf Of Edwin Scribner > Sent: Monday, 31 May 2010 8:45 PM > To: Tol Harndor - Australian Tolkien Society > Subject: Re: [TolHarndor] recent trips > > Hi Jeff.

I'll look at 'em tomorrow. Off to bed now ... Cynthia is sick with a bad cold, poor thing. :( She hardly ever gets 'em so when she does it's a shock to her system .. unlike me who manages to get them several times a year. What I get for working at a school I daresay. 2000 pix? Sounds impressive. I bought myself a new camera a few months ago .. a Canon EOS 450D. Slowly learning how to use it. cheers, David -- Line dancing, Genealogy, Travel, Photography, Local history & more! http://roots-boots.net mailto:dragon at roots-boots.net The greatest tragedy that could overcome a country would be for it to fight a successful war in defence of liberty and to lose its own liberty in the process" - Robert Menzies
