'Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo'
'A star shines on the hour of our meeting'

Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them,
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

You won't ant too miss Howard Shore LOTR Concert of a lifetime. TheOneRing.net has updates on the LOTR Concerts at The Radio City Music Hall, and the associated Fan-Fest weekend in New York! Doug Adams sends along word that The Official Radio City Music Hall LOTR Concert website is now live! Take a look at some stunning images from the recent concert at the Royal Albert Hall in London, news updates and more! The One Ring was at the Boston Museum of Science! Boston's Museum of Science was host to the U.S.Premiere of "The Lord of the Rings Motion Picture Trilogy - The Exhibition". The exhibit was developed by the Museum of New Zealand, Te Papa Tongarewa in partnership with New Line Cinema, the producers of the film trilogy. Following its run at the Science Museum in London, January 11, 2004, the exhibit showed in Singapore before coming to the Museum of Science, in Boston from August thru October 2004 . The next city on the tour after Boston is Sydney, Australia. For a look at the exhibit, go to: LoTR Motion Picture Trilogy - The Exhibit includes a teachers' guide designed to complement your class visit to The Lord of the Rings Motion Picture Trilogy - The Exhibition. It's an awesome display of outfits, weapons and artwork. There are a few hands on events and a LOTR Gift Shop. My family enjoyed the entire exhibit. Plan on spending some time once inside as the gift shop is the only exit and once you enter the gift shop you cannot re-enter the exhibit. In LoTR Fan Club Magazine, Issue #15, senior leather master Michael Grealish explained the exhibit in his interview: As a prime example, consider the many items on display (then at New Zealand's Te Papa Museum). "(Before) I went to the museum display, I had never actually stopped and looked at a lot of the stuff; you'd make it and the chance to admire it was gone." Grealish says. "You'd make stuff one minute, and then it would be gone out to the truck. So I had never actually seen it beautifully displayed with a caption and some of the pictures from the movie. You really appreciate it." Grealish was not alone in his appreciation, as he had the opportunity to witness other museum-goer's reactions firsthand. "People almost had a reverence for it," he says. "I never realised how potent The Lord of the Rings books were in some people's lives. It's almost like a religious reverence being brought to life."

Changes I can live with for the theatrical value. I have all the books if I want the original, I'll read them again (for the seventh time). Most excellent job with the Ents and Gollum! Quite the cinematic epic adventure. I'm happy for folks who have never read the books as they finally understand what us fan/readers have been raving about.

Nearly all of this new footage will consist of character scenes, including a good deal of Treebeard expansion with Merry and Pippin and the Ent-draught. John Howe has commented on the extended Two Towers DVD, to be released in November: "Just returned from London where I had the immense treat of seeing the Two Towers in the lo-o-ong DVD version. Naturally, it was an unfinished cut, and while I can't tell you what's in it, it'll certainly be worth waiting those extra months. Of course you must run to the shop in August and refresh your memories with the theatrical release on DVD or video, but you MOST definitely will want the extended version in November. Trust me.Time to stop before I get carried away and say too much." Two Towers lord of the box office.Two Towers was playing on 6633 screens in 3622 theaters across North America.

Should you buy the "LOTR" DVD theatrical version? Or should you buy the Director's Extended Edition boxed sets? Is it worth buying the theatrical release? Absolutely, if for no other reason than to be able to preserve the theatrical cut released Dec 19 2001, for future generations (since it won't be included on the spiffy Director's box). You may want it as a collector's item. The Director's Extended Edition boxed sets have the extra thirty minutes, added discs, statues, cards, and for those in the fan club there is an added closing credit list of member's names with an added musical score to accompany it. I have purchased the original version and own the complete extended version with the Argonath bookends(to hold your discs and books), featurettes, trading cards, a movie ticket to the Two Towers, and five discs. It was nice to see my name in the closing credits. Mr Shore did an excellent job with the added score for the twenty minute fan club member scrolling list.
