Crowdsurfer reports the following LOTR news:
If you join the official Lord Of The Rings fanclub -- started in support of the movies, the first of which premieres late this year -- you can get your name on the credits of the DVD version of the movie.
Membership of the fan club is available for one, two or three years -- and that will get your name on the end credits of one, two or all three of the films. Only on the DVD release, mind -- putting names on the end crawl of the theatrical version would mean that the credits would take too long to show.
Fan club membership also gets you a bi-monthly newsletter, and other goodies. The club is being supported by director Peter Jackson, and star Elijah Wood has signed up as the first charter member.
Membership costs from $39.95 to $66.95 for one year, depending on where in the world you live, and two- and three-year memberships are also available.
So if you've always dreamed of getting your name on the credits of a movie, but never thought you'd manage it, now's your chance: get on over to www.lotrfanclub.com now!

Additionally, I am sad to report that this means that the second seal of the impending Apocalypse fortold by CNN is upon us.
But at least you can be famous for 0.0003 seconds!!!

so pay 40 bucks, and wait up to a year and a half for a dvd that will have your name, along with hundreds and hundreds of others names, just so you can get your friends to watch as you sit a foot from the screen watch and waiting for the moment to freeze frame, and scream and piont and stand proudly, interesting, but get bent

Yeah but if you could blow yourself while drinking a beer, you'd really have something.

Bex, you could get a blow job from Power Trip, and buy 40 bux worth of crappy austrailian beer (yurine & water)

If I wanted crappy beer I'd buy some American beer. Out of the American beers I have tried I have to say that they are like making love in a canoe. ie: F**king close to water!

american beer may be piss, no one is going to argue that, but my question is, Fosters, you know Australain for beer, is brewed in Canada, ???
RE: Is LOTR cash strapped? Join the fanclub reply
Posted by Bexley (MrMojoRisin@Tripping.com) on October 22, 2001 7:25 PM
While Fosters has been implied to be a favourite Australian beer hardly anyone in this country actually drinks it.
If you want some nice Australian beer try Carlton Cold, Tooheys Extra Dry, Crown Lager, Cascade Premium Lager or even Victorian Bitter. All of which are better than beer like drinks such as Bud, Coors or Miller.

Carlton Cold, I'll have to give that one a try. You know, I'll bet that lots of 3rd world countries have great beer.
Try Little Giants, brewed and bottled in Colorado.

Forget that, I'd rather blow the big Ax, and spend the money on a sexy new shade of lip stick, like the L'oreal Deep ocean dust, which is completley bold even for someone as great as myself. Is LOTR strapped?, not like my boy friend!

You're all about 12 years old and have never had a beer in your lives except maybe a sip from your daddys glass.

What a bunch of benders. Why don't you all go and kill yourselves - when you've finished masturbating about your imaginery girlfriends.

My imaginery girlfriend dumped me last night. I'm not too bothered though, she wasn't that good looking.

Dear Charter Member:
I am pleased to report that the 19-minute credit scroll of Charter Members names was so impressive that director Peter Jackson wanted to expand it by placing original scored music behind the names as they scroll on-screen. Members names are ordered alphabetically by last name and integrate seamlessly into the format and style of the rest of the production credits. (Just for your information, the scroll of Charter Members names is twice the length of the credit scroll for the films production team!) This exciting addition will certainly reflect the Charter Member name scroll as an important and integrated part of the films credits.
As always, there is a cost to making something bigger and better and this situation is no exception. The space needed to add a 19-minute musical score to the name scroll and the time required for Howard Shore to score and produce additional music -- means that neither space nor time was available to place the Charter Member name scroll on the first Theatrical Release DVD (due August 6th). When New Line Cinema and Jackson originally approved the project, neither realized these space/time constraints would occur. Everyone regrets this, but also promises that the final result will be far more impressive than first planned. As promised, the enhanced-format name scroll with music will appear on all domestic and international versions of the Special Expanded Edition DVD and the Collectors DVD Gift Set -- both due November 12th.
I know Charter Members were told their names would be included in all three DVDs. This may have been your primary motivation for joining the club early or pre-ordering the August DVD release from our online store. The Charter Member name scroll is certainly a distinction unlike any we have ever heard of in the world of property or film fandom. To this end, we want to provide the highest level of customer service and resolve this problem to your satisfaction.
It seems that it was too good to be true anyways. I love how Peter Jackson's decision to have NEW MUSIC scored for the credit roll is played off like some kind of accident. More of the kind of money grubbing hucksterism I've come to expect in the actions surrounding this movie...

Agreed! I think Cascade Premium Lager is the best beer I've ever had, and Vic Bitter is good too.
