New Line has agreed to produce the films in a newly developed holographic format. Apparently Peter Jackson received a letter (from an irate fan) stating that he was just not insane enough to bring this epic to the screen. This letter has had a profound effect on the Kiwi director. In response, Peter has in fact gone insane. In an effort to do justice to this epic novel, Peter says he will include "EVERY FRIGIN LINE IN THE BOOK". Nothing will be to obscure. "YOU WANT THE FOX??? YOU GOT THE FOX!!! New line has pledged to throw another 666 million dollars at this project. We are nearing completion on the development of a holographic, virtual reality technology that will allow the viewer to actually interact with the characters. Peter says "YOU WANT TO TALK TO THE FRIGIN FOX??? NOW YOU CAN TALK TO THE FRIGIN FOX!!!!" The software to operate the system will only cost $29.00 U.S. The virtual reality suit and holographic projection system will cost $36,000 U.S. per unit. Asked if this was a bit much for the average consumer Jackson replied "NO PRICE IS TO HIGH FOR THE ULTIMATE TOLKIEN EXPERIENCE. YOU CAN ACTUALLY TALK TO THE FRIGIN FOX!!! THAT'S RIGHT!!!!

I was in a typing frenzy and was not aware of my grammatical inaccuracy. As for the degradation comment, we cannot possibly use my knowledge of proper grammar as a device for measuring such a claim. For, you see, the last grammar class I attended was in the spring of 1971. So, all things being equal, this must actually be a minor point on the improvement of our educational system. Today I am grammatically challenged PS I view myself as better with mustard. ###### From: "Robert Julian Jr." Newsgroups: rec.arts.books.tolkien Subject: Re: LotR Deluxe edition to be released in halographic format Date: Fri, 14 Dec 2001 11:57:55 -0600 Organization: MindSpring Enterprises Lines: 19 Message-ID: <9vde9c$4lt$1@nntp9.atl.mindspring.net> References: <9vd6d6$c0c$1@nntp9.atl.mindspring.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: c7.ae.a0.2f X-Server-Date: 14 Dec 2001 17:52:44 GMT X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Newsreader: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.50.4133.2400 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.50.4133.2400 Path: chonsp.franklin.ch!pfaff.ethz.ch!news-zh.switch.ch!news.mailgate.org!news-spur1.maxwell.syr.edu!news.maxwell.syr.edu!netnews.com!xfer02.netnews.com!newsfeed2.earthlink.net!newsfeed.earthlink.net!news.mindspring.net!not-for-mail Xref: chonsp.franklin.ch rec.arts.books.tolkien:63473 > > In an effort to do justice to this epic novel, Peter says he will > > include "EVERY FRIGIN LINE IN THE BOOK".
