RECORD
BREAKING 12-04-2000
News has reached me that the preview
of The Lord of the Rings had been the most popular download ever
with 1.7 million downloads in the first 24 hours of
release on the internet. This beats The Phantom Menace
trailer when it was released. New Line attributes some
of this success to various fan sites who promoted the
launch.

FOOTAGE
RELEASED 12-04-2000
On the 7th of this month New Line Cinema has
put on the Official
Lord of the Rings site some absolutely sensational
footage. We get to look at the various special effects
as well as most of the cast including Sean Bean (Boromir), Sir Ian McKellen
(Gandalf), Elijah
Wood (Frodo), Viggo
Mortensen (Strider) and Liv Tyler (Arwen). The footage
of the special effects are really very good with looks at
how they created. I'll bet these movies will seriously
kick The new Star Wars films asses as well and DVD's of
these movies will really kick some serious ass. If you
want to see this footage for yourself, and I bet you do go
to http://www.lordoftherings.net/previews/.

DVD
's12-04-2000
I was reading in a DVD magazine that Bad Taste had come out
on DVD in America. The disc is region free so it will
play in any DVD player regardless of which region you are
in. From what I read, the picture and sound quality
aren't that great but I expect it's better than video tape
but the original film quality
itself isn't very good either considering it was virtually
home made on a little Bolex camera. There are no
extras at all, not even the making-of that was on English TV
a few years ago. When LotR comes out, I hope there
will be a re-release of all PJ's films on DVD with
commentary, interviews, and making-of's since PJ really
likes and supports the DVD format. I know even now
that there will be a shitload of extras for the LotR DVD's.
Meet the Feebles is also out in Region 2 you can
get it from Amazon.co.uk
but there are no extras al all.
