The Hall of Fire

I wonder how people would feel if a film was made of Iavas' conspiracy theories and given the same weight of accuracy that United 93 is being accorded? I believe United 93 was probably shot down. I believe it was the right move by the military given the circumstances. I'm not saying there weren't br...

Thanks TTBK

What about the Weasley Twins? Fairly decent sized characters and much loved. Will they "get serious" before the end and go down in a blaze of glory?

And Dumbledore's "death" was more than "fishy" it was a Lobster Dinner.

I have a huge problem with films that purport to tell a true story, yet do it with complete fiction. This is not the DaVinci code. This is a planeload of people who died in a hijacking. Their children and spouses are alive and will be watching. Nobody knows what happened on that flight, yet it will ...

I've posted my thought on this already.

We haven't seen the last of Dumbledore or Sirius.

I'm more likely to watch WTC. At least its based on real accounts. United 93 has to be almost entirely fictional.

oooh. Good one Impy. I could really see that.

Robbie Coltraine plays Hagrid. Superwizard, do you mind editing the title? I thought this was a genuine spoiler and was very annoyed when I saw it. It's not considered good etiquette to put potential spoilers in a title. There's already a thread here for Book 7 discussion with spoilers and one witho...

What the hell do you think the Palantíri were?

Well, we got the unofficial go-ahead to do just that from PJ on the RotK commentary. I think New Line might object though

An embarassing American article on Soccer... This, from people who watch men in kelvar armour play British Bulldog against each other for 4 hours at a time! The nihilism of soccer: The more you look, the less there is to see. by Frank Cannon & Richard Lessner 06/23/2006 12:00:00 AM IN ITS RECENT...

Likewise.... I think I'll be waiting to pick these up in a bargain bin next year sometime!

Sorry Impy... That entire article should have been quoted!

That's Robert Jordan speaking, not me! I'll go back and edit it.

Late last week the Sci-Fi/Fantasy world was rocked with the news of Robert Jordan's life threatening illness. In a letter to Locus Jim Rigney (aka Robert Jordan) explains that he's been diagnosed with: "amyloidosis. That is a rare blood disease which affects only 8 people out of a million each ...

More on this LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - There hasn't been a new "Lord of the Rings" movie in nearly three years. ADVERTISEMENT But that hasn't stopped New Line Home Entertainment from preparing new DVD versions of all three films in the franchise, which generated more than $1 billi...

I'm in two minds about this. On the one hand, I'd prefer to be able to buy the Documentaries seperately in a single box set. On the other hand, these will probably turn up in bargain bins for about $10 a piece in a year or so. I suppose the big question is whether this release is a lithmus test to s...
