As we all get ready for the second installment of the trilogy to be released next month, I thought I’d start dropping in some linkage to wet your appetites:
To start with, a new trailer. Hint: no matter what your net conneciton speed, get the fullscreen high bandwidth version and wait out the time to download.
Second, an interesting Popular Science article on the software behind the digital effects used to bring the Battle of Helm’s Deep, a key confrontation in the film, to life.
As The Sweet One wrote in her blog, we watched the new and longer special edition of Fellowship of the Ring this past Saturday to get in the mood. While I wouldn’t recommend purchasing this DVD set, we had a Blockbuster gift card sitting on the dresser for half a year, just begging to be used to rent it. We’re waiting for the deluxe, 20 disk set that’s sure to be released in 2005, after The Return of the King is all done at the theaters.
