I'm sorry, but as much as Legolas is gorgeous in his other movies (Pirates of the Carribean) the hottest and most handsome guy in LOTR is Viggo Mortenson, commonly known as Aragorn.... hmmmm..... the rugged look! And I love LOTR so much, I think Tolkien was a genius for creating this whoel world of his, creatures, languages, everything! If there was anyone I could meet, it would be him (even though he's dead)

Everyone in NZ (literally) knows someone who was involved in the filming. I was taught stage combat by a guy who did a lot of the combat in the movies.

Serious? Man, I'd love to live in NZ, or even visit the places they filmed. My dad used to live near a few of the locations in the mountains, so I'd love to see that in real life. And I reckon Middle earth does exist, in NZ!

Well yeah, it sure does. Thing is, it's pretty obvious with some bits as to where they filmed it. You can so tell that Hobbiton is in the waikato, near to Matamata.

Well, at least I can.

Thats cool, actually a while ago on tv i watched this thing on outdoor life network, and these guys were bungee jumping in New Zeland, and they were like on this gondula(sp?) over a river and it was like the highest place to bungee jump in the world or something,and there was this river that was under the gondula and it looked like the river that aragorn falls into in the two towers.

I missed this post... oh yeah? A documentary. They filmed a fair bit near Queenstown, a big tourist center.

Where abouts was hobbiton filmed again?
Hinuera, about 22 kms from Matamata. In fact, if you send mail to matamata, address it to hobbiton. It literally gets there

Locked into a corner, up against the wall,
I know you've been stumbling, trying not to fall.
I can feel your sorrow, and I can share your pain
I can hear the questions exploding in your brain.
Walking in the shadows, feeling all alone;
Looking for the answers, rolling every stone.
'Tis a run in silence, and laughing nearly came
Though my eyes can't see you, I know we're much the same.
-Just The Same, Phil Keaggy

The sky is raining tears tonight My brother You know it's hard to sleep So far from home The moon has covered up her eyes My sister I thought I'd find you here But I am all alone All alone Light of Heaven Lord of mercy Shine the goodness Of your love upon this day Till we see you Till we know you Till the sorrow And the darkness fades away Fades away I searched the city streets today My father The tunnel and the train The river and the rain I walked beneath the harbor lights My mother And in the shadows there I call your name I call your name
-Light Of Heaven, Fernando Ortega
