That's weird.. The South Park movie was hilarious though. 
Speaking of the towers, Jackie Chan was scheduled to be doing a scene atop one of the towers on September 11th. He was playing a window-washer. But he didnt go that day because the script wasnt ready yet. He must have kissed the script-writer.

I sent you an email about Questor Tapes because I am kinda fuzzy on the policy on posting URLs here...
Yes, indeed. They have a place in my memory but not my present experience. 
You can post URLs as long as you're not advertising and you're a real Maker here, not just someone fishin for hits.

Lord of the Rings:
I caught a tuesday midnight show.
I'm not much of a Tolkien fan, but love Jackson.
I had some issues with the overuse of the soundtrack and some other minor things, but overall we liked it a lot. My girlfriend hasn't read any Tolkien or seen the animated movies. Though she generally dislikes the entire fantasy genre, she really liked this one -enough that she's considering reading the books now. She was very impressed with the whole "dirty fingernails" realism of it all.
From what I remember of the books, it seems pretty damn faithful. The movie is a huge rebellion against the entire concept of the matte painting. There's absolutely no question about the 3-dimensionality(real or artificial) of the sets.

Ah yes, that's a very nice change. The characters are THERE, in the thick of it, not in a sound stage with a backdrop.
Fantastic movie. Gaves me lots of great dreams. Beautiful, vast, with special effects that didnt at all look unnatural.
I'm a fan of Tolkien but not Peter Jackson, but I'm happy with what he did with this movie and cant wait for the next two!

Finally saw Lord of The Rings. (At the Raven's Cry Theatre in Sechelt--look THAT up). Loved it. This is one to go out and see ona big screen. No point in waiting for the video no matter how big your tv. They could have cut back on the battle scenes but that's a quibble. And Thank God they left out the endless poems and songs entirely/
The cartoon versions took care of that, if that's what you're into.
Man, I've seen some sucky movies lately. In The Bedroom, Gosford Park. I cant wait to get my hands on a real man's movie, like The One, or Brotherhood of the Wolf.

We've given up lately. We've been renting stuff like Raising Arizona and The Hudsucker Proxy. Things we're sure won't be a dissapointment.
I'm trying to get my girlfriend to go see the Lord of the Rings with me, but now she doesn't want to because it's too popular... like what happened with The Titanic. What should I tell her?

Tell her it's about as not like Titanic as possible. It has integrity, heart, and, thankfully, a total absence of Leonardo.
Perhaps your girlfriend would understand the difference between popular and trendy? There really aren't a lot of good movies -- be a shame to miss this one. And if ever there was an institution to support with throng-like behavior, it's Tolkien...
