Damn bloody whingeing Poms..lol j/k So lucky!!

So sad for you....and sadder for me!!

Old Hobbits do die hard!.....for there's no word in elvish, entish or the tongues of men for this sadness.....

I see in your Eyes Miruvor, the sorrow that takes the heart of me....a day may come when will we fade into darkness....bound to our grief under the fading trees.......but it is not this day, come now, pick yourself up....we've still got the EE DVD coming soon....

BTW - what do you think of my LOTR quote Remix....absolutley smashing huh....can you pick the lines i used...

And sadder for some of those in the States who won't get a wide release until late Jan......

Which means UK is extremely important, we need great buzz there to launch other markets...... :?

Love it!! The whole Treebeard, Aragorn to Men of the West, and Elrond to Arwen movie medly! Ta..that did bring a smile to my face~

I can't wait untill the EE come's out but it still won't be the same! I heard a rumour that they may bring all three EE versions back to the cinema! Here's to wishful thinking.... for even the wisest cannot tell...for the ...future...shows many things! :wink:

That Arwen by Aragorn's grave is the strongest sequence from TTT and definately one of the strongest of the whole Trilogy......potent lines mixed with wonderful imagery.....

BTW - look what i've created in our names over at the Movies Forum.....i hope you can join me in getting this final part of the LOTR WW Assault underway...... (BTW - i miss that thread very much)

ACADEMY AWARDS: Best Picture

The Academy has just released their poster for the 77th Oscars......and the following is a tantilising thought.....

[/quote]



Don't tempt me Arch! I dare not think of it! Not even to keep it safe. Understand Arch..., I would look upon this poster with a desire (for it) to do good....., but through me it would wield a temptation too great and terrible to imagine!

It would be a pleasure and an honour mate!

Why what's going to happen?.....in place of a dark lord we shall have a Miruvor, not dark but beatiful and terrible as the dawn, treacherous as the sea. :wink: .....LOL rink:

Ah, lovely......not too shabby, i underestimated my New Zealand counterpart.... :Kiss:

Thanks mate...you're not half bad yourself! :wink:

"The time of the Three Rings is over...now comes the Dominion of 'The Phantom..'

No, it's an honour to have you onboard......BTW - does anyone know whether Nazgul9 posts here.....i haven't seen him around, has he changed his name? :?

Ta! I was wondering the same thing! If he has changed his name, I do not now, but I sense that he is not yet here!

Thankyou,

Are you sure its the Dominion of The Phantom......what if it BOMBs .....it could happen, just as it could be a big hit....i'm so worried.....i've never felt such attachment to a movie since LOTR, and whenever i anticipate and love a movie, this is normally the trait i display....LOL

He has not posted over at the BOM threads for ages.......i've given him the link to this site already.......maybe he's not interested......i'm going to try again......

I know...but there is still hope...there is always hope! :wink:
Besides, if it does BOMB, we will still have our ROTK EE to muse over and that is an encouraging thought my friend!

But i don't want Phantom to bomb........all fingers cross all the way...

SUNTIMES: POTO

The invite: Join director Joel Schumacher, who won the almost two decades-long battle to bring the hit romantic musical to the big screen again. This time it stars Gerard Butler as the Phantom, Emmy Rossum as Christine and Patrick Wilson as Raoul in the story of a composer with facial problems who falls hard for a sweet young ingenue.

An affair to remember? Schumacher spared nothing to make the Paris opera house look lush and beguiling, including the use of real gaslights and candles to light the stage. All of this opulence means the music of the night might ignite the box office.

Pre-party gossip: Check out a new Andrew Lloyd Webber song playing over the end credits. And then there is Butler, who did everything possible to learn how to sing. "I started taking singing lessons when I found out about my audition," he says. "After I got the role, I sang everywhere I went. I know I drove some people crazy, including my driver in the morning. Do you know how many times this man heard some of these songs?'"

Take a look at these awesome new pics....boy they make a great couple

Funny that you say that, because in all my times of seeing and experiencing this play or it's music, I say the same of The Phantom and Christine always!

Cheers anyway for the new news!

ELLE MAGAZINE: Night at the Opera

http://www.phantomfans.net/index.php?showtopic=4249

How do you improve on the Broadway blockbuster The Phantom of the Opera? Fill it with authentic emotion and keep the razzle-dazzle that people love. Karen Durbin reviews

Warner Brothers' megabucks movie Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera opens with a visual bang and keeps the fireworks coming at a heady pace. Then about 20 minutes in, director Joel Schumacher and his gifted stars get personal: The disfigured, reclusive genius (Scottish hunk Gerard Butler) who haunts and dominates the Opera Populaire in late nineteenth-century Paris shows himself for the first time to his adored young protégée, Christine (rising star Emmy Rossum). Traveling by gondola through the theater's watery catacombs, he brings her to his underground lair, whose novel decor includes bed curtains like black lace spiderwebs and an ornate mirror of the sort the Phantom seems to be able to walk through at will. Dressed in black from his velvety tailcoat to his gleaming military boots and rakishly played by Butler, he combines a showman's panache with a masculinity that positively smolders. By contrast, Rossum's dewy ingenue wears white—not the dainty gown I remember from the stage show but a peignoir with a deep décolleté and skirts that part to reveal a flash of thigh above a lacy stocking top. As her darkly charismatic mentor croons his seductive “The Music of the Night” (”Silently the senses/abandon their defenses”), Christine, fresh from her debut on the Opera stage, becomes transfixed. Her bright eyes look astonished, then dazed, then gleam with pleasure while her mouth softens into an inviting smile. It's a nakedly intimate moment—a young woman's awakening to sexual desire—and of all the thrills in this special effects extravaganza, this might be the best.

Yes, if that wasn't the case we can just all go home now.....oh wait, we are at home.....well, you get what i'm saying.....

BTW - Gerard Butler was voted as one of the hottest people by People Magazine......i'll see if i can find an article

Ok, here we are........i'm assuming they are in order......any lady friends out there who wants to give us some insights.....LOL

T- minus 22 days and counting



Sing once again with me
our strange duet
My power over you
grows stronger yet

And though you turn from me,
to glance behind,
the Phantom of the Opera is there -
inside your mind

___________________________

..Off to supper now....see you at morrow's twilight!

That is exquisite..... :Jump: ...especially the line......"And though you turn from me..."........captures so much of his spirit and love for Christine.....and no matter what may come, he will continue to love her......and yes, even if their romance does not ultimately end in hapiness.......perverse, pure, simplistic yet so powerful



22-DAYS: To Go

It's nice talking to you... ....it's been a long while since i've had such a lengthy discussion.......

.......as you are too well aware, we are on the wrong timezone from everyone else, and it's hard to sustain any sort of discussion.....

But with you on the same wavelength, makes me very happy.....

It's time i should go as well.....Australian Idol is on and it's the Finals on Sunday.....and i must watch Inside Idol.....LOL

Bye :wave:
