Prequel of Lord Of The Rings movie made by fans
Feb 11th
She didn’t have Peter Jackson’s £200 million budget, eight years of filming time or the spectacular scenery of New Zeeland to work with. But Kate Madison could match his boundless passion -- and with it managed to make her own Lord Of The Rings film.
The amateur actress was so inspired by the blockbuster Rings trilogy created by Jackson she wrote, directed and produced a prequel based on material from the original J.R.R. Tolkien books.
Kate Madison plays in this movie herself as the character Elgarain.
This 70 minute original drama is set in the time before the War of the Ring and tells the story of the Dúnedain, the Rangers of the North, before the return of the King. Inspired by only a couple of paragraphs written by Tolkien in the appendices of the Lord of the Rings we follow Arathorn and Gilraen, the parents of Aragorn, from their first meeting through a turbulent time in their people’s history.

The Apple Tablet – iPad
Jan 27th
There hasn’t been so much buzz about the tablet since Moses got down from the mountain after his acid trip. Today, Mr. Jobs unveiled the mighty Apple iPad, which I think is crap (until I get one for free, then it’s ok).
It’s just a giant iPod Touch, people will not give up their iPhones and MacBooks for it.
Find out more by searching on Google, or something.

I met a man of two feet tall
This man was quite ambitious
In a world that is so vicious to us all
I said, “Hi,” as he replied
He said, “Listen to these words
That I have lived by my whole life
“You’re only as tall as your heart will let you be
And you’re only as small as the world will make you seem
When the going gets rough and you feel like you may fall
Just look on the brightside -- you’re roughly six feet tall”
I met a man of 12 feet tall
He towered like a giant
In a world that was defiant of his height
I said, “Hi,” as he replied
He said, “Listen to these words
That I have dreaded my whole life
“You’re only as tall as your heart will let you be
And you’re only as small as the world will make you seem
When the going gets rough and you feel like you may fall
Just look on the brightside -- you’re roughly six feet tall.”
I am a man of six feet tall
Just looking for some answers
In a world that answers none of them at all
I’ll say, “Hi,” but not reply
To the letters that you write
Because I found some peace of mind
Cause I’m only as tall as my heart will let me be
And I’m only as small as the world will make me seem
When the going gets rough and I feel like I may fall
I’ll look on the brightside -- I’m roughly six feet tall.
