Thursday December 30, 1999

Last Newsletter of this Century! This week has been
rather quiet due to the holidays. Yet just yesterday we
posted an incredible interview with the LOTR stunt team!
So you never know when news will hit.

Rings Roundup (Top headlines of major interest)

LOTR Stunt Team Interview: Ringer Spy Julius sends
in this news from NZONFILM. It's a great interview with
the LOTR Stunt Team! It is from October but you can still
find out what stunts they have planned and what they've
done so far and more! Check it out in The Spy Reports
(Spoilers) [More]

Music/Script Rumblings: In an letter from Peter Jackson's
office, a Ringer Spy received some interesting news! [More]

Yet More Secret Set Pics! Super Ringer Spy Sam sends in
4 more secret set pics from the quarry. Check them out in
The Spy Reports (Spoilers) [More]

Scouring of the Site (Breakdown of our various sections)

Gaming Havens is keeping all you gamers up to date on
the latest RPG/Fantasy/Sci-Fi games out there.

GreenBooks section is always packed full of interesting
essays and articles, as well as fan submissions and reviews.
Check out Quickbeam's 'Out on a Limb', a must read!

The Official Peter Jackson Fanclub (TBHL) is always a fun
place to snoop around and learn more of the man behind the
movie. The latest is a list of the sites that have won the
'Clever Bastard Award', are you a bastard yet?

Palantir Premonitions (What's to come)

In the new year you'll see some great chat's with some
people in the sci-fi/fantasy genre. As well as some great
new sections and features!

Next weeks Hall of Fire Chat (It has been moved from the
25 of December to the 8th of January)

Hail Tolkien Debate fans! Balin and I have put tinder and
flint together to come up with this weekend's Hall of Fire
topic.

It's sure to send up a few sparks! Come in from the cold
and enjoy the fireside glow of The Hall as we kick around
our thoughts and citations.

Special thanks to Barliman chatters Pippin Took, Gil-Estel,
Eldarion, and Pippin Skywalker for their feedback.

Topic: The Power of the One Ring

What was the nature of the power of the One Ring? With as
much 'factual' information you can dig up in The Hobbit, The
Lord of the Rings, and other texts, what can we deduce about
the Ruling Ring? To what extent was the Ring influenced by its
wearer, or vice versa? How is it that some individuals were
able to overcome the Ring, but others succumbed easily? Did
the Ring posses powers of its own? These and other questions
will be asked....do you have an answer?

Time: Saturday, January 8, 3:30 p.m. EST
