It never became a fundamental component of my aesthetic, however. And speculative sci-fi-geek threads based on advance trailers make me crawl under the table and convulse.

The best you can expect from the films is that they'll be a faithful (but inevitably, inferior) adaptation of the books. Big deal. Not the most stirring ambitions for a film. Peripheral aside: The last film I saw which really "got to me" was "Andrei Rublev." It may not have any sci-fi or comic-book content (thus making it off-topic for this list's film discussions), but, well, at least it was about drawing. Does that count?

It's the 1984 Midnight Music pressing. I know there is a test pressing floating around, but does anybody know if there were any other pressings of this album -- like did Relativity ever reissue it?

It's depressing to work for a company where we have an entire Tolkien division, and it's one of the biggest and most profitable. Oh, and to really piss people off, it's know as "the Tolkien product" here. How nice. There might have been a practical reason for splitting the book; binding that many pages in one volume is difficult and expensive. It would have needed very expensive (thin, strong) paper, and the publisher's risk would've been too high if the book bombed. Stewart - -- Stewart C.

Just too big to throw down in one volume. I really love the edition I own. It's seven volumes, each the size of a paperback but bound hardback with that laminated board cover and binding. I don't know anything about bookmaking, so I don't know what that's called. Each volume is one "book" from the story and the seventh is the appendices. It's also a bit cute that they are bound with identical spines except for the top of each contains a single gold letter T, O, L, K, E, I, and N. I guess it's a good thing his name wasn't Featherstonehaugh. (After all, how would you know which order to place them in the decorative slip cover? Plus, that's an awful lot of reading.)

And whether or not JRRT intended it to be read as 3 books, he was meticulous in arranging cliffhanger endings to FotR and (especially) TTT. (Shippey's chapter on interlacement in the plot is good on this). b) I have a recollection that Sir Stanley Unwin negotiated an unusual contract under which JRRT got little in the way of an advance, but started to mop up royalties once costs had been covered. This contract was negotiated because Unwin saw the project as high risk. c) Isn't there a story about the Unwins taking JRRT for a tour of their Hemel Hempstead factory? He tries to look interested without much success, until they explain to him that the whole plant is churning out Tolkien books. - - Mike "Lugburz" Godwin PS Must dash, have to give a class on rationality and risk ... ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 19 Oct 2001 11:43:03 +0100 (BST) From: Michael R Godwin Subject: Re: our Quail and a trivia question > on 10/18/01 5:57 PM, Jill Brand at jlbrand@bu.edu wrote: > > Question: > > What celebrity is mentioned in songs by the Kinks, Robyn, and Travis (and > > what a strange coincidence in that the only shows that I have seen this > > year have been both brothers Davies, the Soft Boys, and Travis)?

I'll be there. A little bird has told me that Ravey Davey Gravy is joining the SBs on Astronmy Domine. Just a couple of catch-ups. Did anyone post the Notting Hill Arts Club set-list? If not I'll root it out. Bloody amazing gig. A sort of commando raid (ooops, wrong choice of metaphor) Short, sharp and to the point (and with no collateral damage ;-)) I think I might be the only practising thespian on the list, so just a quick word as to whether it's an art form or not....My last four jobs have been - Butling in The Importance Of Being Earnest - Main skills required - not dropping heavy tea-trays; serving said tea. Voiceover for information film on the traffic congestion relief plan around Paddington (RH content 1%) - Main skills - a clear voice, and the ablity to say Hangar Lane Gyratory System by the second take. Dad in advert for German mobile phone company - Ability to look overweight essential. Also had to be able to mouth German words convincingly, as a German actor was going to overdub me. Cyber-terrorist in a Dept of Trade and Industry training film - I kid you not. The script came through to me on 11/9/01. The first thing I read was 'Intercut with footage of American flags burning....' Needless to say, when I arrived at the shoot the first thing the director said was "Er, Joe, there have been some changes..." My final line was still - "We have something far more powerful than bombs, we have knowledge..." Ability to look psychotic but intelligent a prerequisite for that one. Ring any bells. So. No. My recent career has not needed any artistic stretches, and for 90% of the time it doesn't. But there are moments, especially when you are part of an ensemble with a good script, that you know you are helping to produce a work of art. Talking of art, I saw Faust at the RFH last week, and there was a fight in the stalls. It went on for ages, and the old biddies who act as ushers could do fuck all about it. It took about five minutes for the butch security guards to arrive and sort it out. I suppose you could call it a Faust fight (one for Sebastian Hagedorn there...) The band were superb by the way, as was ex-Beefheart man Gary Lucas in support...I hope there's no brawling when our boys are on. Also saw North Miss. Allstars this week. Worth a look for anyone into some rough-arsed blues-rawk. Luther Dickinson's slide-playing is something else, though at times he does get a trifle too Duane Allman-esque (there's an epithet to conjure with) . He and the drummer are the sons of legendary Memphis musician /producer, Jim of that ilk, for people not in the know.

Frodo *is* a hero. Frodo makes the decision to go, accepts the responsibility, and and provides a grounding for Sam's good but befuddled nature. They are a pair, both needing something from the other. Sam draws strength from Frodo, or at least the image of Frodo in his mind. I mean, you really don't think that Sam could have done it all by himself? He would probably have gotten lost somewhere chasing elves. He needed Frodo as a mirror for what he wanted to be, and perhaps was all along. Wow, talk about burying the geek needle. - --Quail ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 19 Oct 2001 08:47:17 -0500 From: "Mike Wells" Subject: Setlist Help Re: Grant Lee Hitchcock 10-15-01, Iota Club in Arlington, VA...
