Greetings from Middle Earth,

I have the pleasure of working just off Courtenay Place (where the
Embassy, site of the premiere, is). The latest situation is that the
Police have closed some of the roads leading into Courtenay Place so
that the preparations can get underway.

There are people (?) wandering about with pointed ears.

In the last few hours the weather has improved (the rain has stopped &
the wind has dropped a little). The weather is at last co-operating.
It has been raining since Sunday night. Goddamit its supposed to be
SUMMER!

This brings me to another issue

I suggest that the reason that the film is being so well received is
because of the Power that was used to create it. That power being no
less than the power of The One itself!

Consider the evidence:

The One is said in the trailers to have "the power to enslave the
world". And what is FOTR doing to those who have seen it?

Ian McKellen, (Gandalf, wielder of one of the Three, Narya?) has long
been one of the strongest supporters of the film

Cate Blanchett, (Galadriel, wielder of another of the Three, Nenya?),
has been very supportive too.

Liv Tyler, (Arwen, daughter of Elrond, wielder of the third of the
Three), is also very positive about the movie, maybe she has Vilya now?

From the evidence in the media I speculate that John Rhys-Davies also
has been given a ring, one of the Seven.

And as for Harry Knowles of AICN, surely it is obvious that on his
visit to NZ he was given a gift, a beautiful ring...

What about TORN's Quickbeam? Did Quickbeam get a Ring?

and of course we know that the other rings are subject to the will of
the wielder of the One

The inscription on the Ring itself gives a clue too
"One Ring to bring them all, and in the Darkness (of the cinema) bind
them"

The final piece of evidence, the miraculous improvement in the weather
just at the premiere in "Middle Earth".

It is obvious who is wielding the One on this project. A hobbit of
course, but not Frodo.

A new Ring Lord has arisen.

All Hail the Lord of the Rings:

Peter Jackson.
