It would be nice if she arrived despite her busy agenda, and of course could spend some time with me of course:D :love:

There is a string of new restraunts that need sampling
and of course, i need someone to share my ice cream and minties with.

www.wcc.govt.nz/lotr

Dang! That must be real cool! Wish I were there! :D

Hey Gaz,

Love to be there, but we're launching our new site on Monday!! Enjoy it though!!

Mmmm New Zealand ice cream *drool* I'd leave the Minties to you all though...

Roge :)

some kids up the road from me have an Orc club.
strange thing is they look to me, they look the same with or with out thier ears and khaki face paint- more like little marines with swords and spears instead of m16's

interesting the amount of them that have "lizard lens"


speaking of food..................

Roast everything, and alot of ale

better off with "rush munroe" - that would keep Z happy.

i heard that www.hell.co.nz,
have got in extra suppiles of the lengendary

" Kahlua & White Chocolate Cheesecake "

a must for any lord of the rings fans.
they also have a 'rings inspired " pizza
aptley named "Mordor" ............includes Venison Pepperoni.
no problem finding food in this city.
great music , entertainment and the creatures of middle earth

hmmmmmmmmm

think we need to invent a 'huli " pizza - it will have extra kick

The Hu Li Pizza comes with sausages that look like little sticks of dynamite. it also comes with a little tick-tock clock in the middle.

You either finish the pizza on time or it blows up in your face. :grin:

I believe Thursday, December 4th, Primetime Live on ABC(in U.S./Canada)will have a special 1 hour show on the making of ROTK. And I think you can count on the WB or maybe UPN having an hour long special also. Check your local listings as they say.

Who's gotten their Two Towers EE DVD?

as usual, the stars seem to be wandering around casually catching up with "ole mates", monday will a be a bit different thou
with the surge in international press and everyone form right around the country arriving. the star that gets the most fuss is Liv Tyler, but the locals let her have her space regardless.

Pity Ziyi is not here, she cold be the first girllie uruk hai.

everyone in my team is a Zhang Ziyi fan as much as they are of lord of the rings.

Yimou really screwed up not filming here.
I say, he was scared that Ziyi would be a bigger star than him
he is not ready to let his star actress overshadow him in popularity.

I know Z's accomadation would have been "real cheap" :bigwink:

Amazing how a city can be absolute choas one day

however, the LOTR cast are pretty much as royality here.

:

the Kiwi's would appreciate his art
They love landscapes and colour, the land is full of beauty.
Needs to be interpreted and further appreciated

You are right that Kiwi's would love and make big fuss over Ziyi.

One of the first places I looked up was New Zealand.

New Zealand is on the very corner of the known world!!

THAT EXPLAINS IT.

You can’t be that far from everywhere...without being totally gone. Like The Faulkland Islands of Austrailia. WOW. I had a completely different idea of where New Zealand is. Japan, too!

Where is Old Zealand?

Old Zealand is located somewhere between the ears. I would say near the Isthmus of Delight and the Horn of Plenty, where Frodo is known to frolic.

Okay enough of this nonsense about Z being a cute Orc, Uruk Hai, whatever. The magnificent, dazzling and breathtaking Z looks about as much like an Orc as Michael Jackson looks black.

Ugghhh, I shouldn't have even mentioned Z in the same sentence! My apologies to you your highness if you ever read this! Please accept the humble apologies of your lowly servant.

As for NZ news, Monday night could've been called New Zealand night on the Tonight Show. First TC appeared to promote The Last Samurai filmed in NZ of course. What better place to be Japan. LOL!

And Jay's next guest was Keisha Castle Hughes(Pai) from Whale Rider. Wearing a dress underneath a white sweater, she was a very cute and charming little girl. She's not an Orc either!

Keisha talked about how she was discovered and cast in the movie. There were no clips shown during the interview, but she did mention her impressions of The Grand Canyon after just coming back from a Thanksgiving trip there and the dinner she had while in Arizona. Sorry, can't remember the details there. I think this is her first time in the U.S. About The Canyon, she said she had always heard it was very deep, but had no idea it was as big and wide.

Jay then showed the DVD and said he and his wife loved the movie.

Now I wonder who his first LOTR guest will be. Two weeks and counting folks. The latest issue of Newsweek has a big cover story on it.

thats kinda entertaining hahahaha -

only I am to blame - cause the others didn't refer to Z, only to some of the locals.........
and i apologise if i have over stept the Mark...............:D

however,
Z is the greatest actress in the universe,
of course the most beautiful
but, she could act whatever role she pleased, and i suspect in the future she will play a formidable Ugly character - maybe even a Aussie rugby player ( worse than an orc ) - anythings possible

:laugh:

Maybe there is even substance to rumor she may play Micheal Jackson

Well there are uglier things than orcs I guess. Like Keith Richards. Now there's a guy who wouldn't even need a costume and orc makeup.

Z would be more apt to play a beautiful elf queen or princess like Galadriel or Arwen.

great words MarkR :clap: i totally agree:bow:

Kieth Richards and Michael Jackson - what 30 years of self-abuse looks like.

If you put those two in a room - some people would shriek at the celebrity of it, and some would shriek out of pure horror.

Maybe there is even substance to rumor she may play Micheal Jackson

Lol, I don't think MJ's parents could have ever dreamed that he would end up looking like an Asian women when he grew up. I know, I know, that is a pretty harsh insult to asian women, but thats the closest human entity that resembles him now.

Originally posted by Chinese Democracy

imagine the task, to act M J, it would be mammoth.

When his story is finally drawn out on big screen............

who could direct?

imagine the controversy, imagine the budget.......

where would ya film it!!!!!.


I think keith Richards makes a good Alien.:D
I wonder if the cuteone:love: met him?

am gonna grab my fav strat, and jam along some stones...........
( damn the funny tuneing and capo possies that keith richards use's )

Speaking of Keith, he apparently flew into a jealous rage after Mr Jagger was notified he was going to be knighted as Sir Mick.

CLICK: Jagger Knighthood (http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=638&ncid=762&e=2&u=/nm/20031204/en_nm/people_jagger_dc)

high-school? I don’t think we’re dealing with mental giants here.

Rock & Roll is the place where the people who fall through the cracks in society’s floor...land.

I’m not saying they don’t deserve to be knights...but wouldn’t it be more appropriate to think of them as “Bill & Ted” knights?

What I don't understand is how an establishment rebel - someone who rose to fame by trashing the establishment with as much vigor as they could possibly muster - accepts a trophy that brands him 100% establishment.

The REAL Mick Jagger would have told the Queen where to put her garter. I guess once you reach age 60, nothing you stood for prior means a damned thing anymore.

So much for the Rebel in his old age.

And what idiot decided he even deserved knighthood in the first place. What has the Mick done for British society that in any way has left it better for his efforts - short of increasing British spray paint sales for the purpose of endless graffiti art on London monuments?

Yeah, that's worth knighthood alright. Sir Lancelot must be turning over in his grave.....

The modern definition of knightly virtues must have taken a turn for...?????

As they traditonally have been...http://www.chivalrytoday.com/Farrell/Knightly-Virtues.html

And now...apparently you just need to be recommended by Tony Blair...

No more need to be said.

CG

Given the code of chivalry as listed in CG's link, here are Mick's qualifications for knighthood:

Courage: The cocaine he was snorting may have been cut with rat poison, but he snorted it anyway. Yeah, that takes a lot of courage.

Justice: His lawyers could always get him off the latest drug charge.

Mercy: Hey, those groupies were really asking for it so I gave it to them.

Generosity: Single handedly keeps the Rolls Royce dealers in business.

Faith: I believe - I'll have another shot of whiskey with my beer.

Nobility: If i wear a codpiece, does that make me noble?

Hope: I hope my next album pays off my yacht at anchor in Capri.

With these noble qualifications firmly entrenched, it is no wonder the Mick is a shining example to humanity of the British code of chivalry, worthy of eminent membership in the Queen's exclusive society of the most noble order of the garter.

Rock & Roll is the place where the people who fall through the cracks in society’s floor...land.

Hmm, I thought rappers would have better suited this theory.

Different cracks, different floors, same society.

Bothers me when popular music buddies up with the establishment. Case in point...Coors beer. What the hell is that?

”I’m lovin it.” What is that? Incestuous I think.

Drive does not = Love!

It’s all about the money, I think. I’m with Neil Young on this. Some would say he’s crazy and can’t sing.

Neil Young is crazy and he can't sing. But he does have a point. Rap is the most sell-out genre there is. The only point to rap video's is to show off booty and new clothing lines.


Oh well, Keep on Rockin in the Free World

Wow, I'm not alone in my absolute disdain of rap. It is the modern version of elevator music, you've heard one; you heard them all.

CD is right. Without Musicvideo to show off all that booty and latest fashion whatever, rap music would be long dead by now.

Most of the rap today is what I would consider a parallel to 80's hair metal. It is all rather pointless. I would expect something to come around soon to drastically change the musical landscape.

Gollum's baby picture

http://www.funsilly.com/newimages/babysmile.jpg

Looks like any other human baby. Boy OR girl.

BC, if you EVER have a kid with a face like that, please be sure to build a website for it. :laugh:

Build a wesite for it? How about a cage.

Seriously, i couldn't look at something that ugly daily.

"Eh, what about when you look in the mirror, lol!"

Ha, took that one away from you.






It isn't true though :D

beauty is in the eye...even when you look in the mirror.

You know, our ancestors are not the monkeys. We are descended from a different line of primates. Some of us are, anyway. So when you look in the mirror, say to yourself, I’m not a monkey. Say that as many times as you need to...until you believe it.

That works for me.

BC, nothing can convince me that anyone would find beauty in that Gollum baby pic. It even makes Don Zimmer look good.



http://www.ziyifilms.com/zpost/data/523/5542002-03-21-inside-zimmer2.jpg

Don Zimmer looks exactly like that Gollum baby photo.

He’s a bit fatter...but just as cheerful. A smiley Yankee baby.

The Gollum baby looks evil, Zimmer is an upbeat guy.

speaking of Guy, our member guy got himself on the front of our local paper. He sat through the marithon 11hour session of the 3 movies - dressed for the occassion.

With the premiere of LOTR3 happening today all across America, I can tell you, the fan frenzy has been whipped up something fierce. Some theaters are allowing fans to camp out IN THE THEATER overnight, where they've been since yesterday to see it today.

Last I looked, most theaters don't have shower facilities. They must stink to high heaven by now! Total insanity!

Talk in the industry is that Peter Jackson will be nominated for an Oscar.

i as going to attend, but had an earlly start at work, and recording session tonight. Would worn the uruk hai gear, but in retrospect, think i would have melted and looked more like a squid-person off galaxy quest about half way through.

Couple of people just staggered into work that survived, they look bad........
but are like "WOW".

Guy just phoned ( he's famous in wellington today ) - he is going in for a second marathon - crazy

I am really looking forward to Jackson's remake of King Kong. That was my favorite movie as a kid.

Not the Jeff Bridges one ofcourse, that one was terrible.

I sure know what ya mean:agree:

the new movie will definately rock - only thing that could make it better, is if Ziyi :love: had a part.

She could play Fay Wray's part!


Eh, they will give it to some stupid blond.


Hey, I wonder if Jackie Chan will play that chinese guy that is always cutting potatoes on the ship.

either Jessica Simpson, or...or...Lil’ Kim.

Kong will be played by CGI and Bruce Willis.

What is it with these New Zealanders! Always making movie excellence as a matter of habit - or should I say hobbit. Anyway, they're off doing another one - 110 million budget for a CS Lewis fantasy tale entitled - The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe - that I am sure will be a superlative piece of film making.

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20031219/ap_on_en_mo/film_chronicles_of_narnia_1

and party.

They are on the very edge of the known world. That makes them edgy.

Hope Ziyi gets a part in this guaranteed master piece:D

I love the LOTR movies. It's raking in almost $500 million worldwide. It might as well beat out Titanic.

golden globes................now for the oscars...........:clap:

On the Oscars note..

Probably a long shot, but gooooo

Keisha Castle Hughes!!!

:)

I was very happy and pleasantly surprised to hear she made the Best Actress list. Good to know that Whale Rider did get at least SOME well earned attention and credit. Too bad the film itself didn't get nominated. It deserved to be.

I still haven't seen Cold Mountain and it's not because I haven't wanted to. Simply haven't had the time. Haven't had the time to see much anything lately. With all the acclaim over the film however, I was about as stunned as anyone that it wasn't nominated. And an even bigger stunner that Nicole K wasn't nominated.

Keisha should no doubt be stunned herself that she was nominated. Stunned in a good way. Thrilled might be a better word. On the flip side however is the suspense and stress she'll have to endure until February 29th. That can get to anyone, but especially a child actor. She's only 12, or maybe 13 now. Hopefully she won't be too heartbroken if she doesn't win.

If she goes into it with the attitude of just wanting to enjoy the whole Oscar experience and just being there and getting to rub elbows with a lot of stars, and even making some good contacts, she'll enjoy it a lot more. The idea is to go into it assuming someone else will win and applauding whoever does. Less pressure that way.

The fact she was nominated means that her talent has been noticed and appreciated, and that alone can lead to bigger and better things. That by itself is a lot to be thankful for.

I will add one note of disappointment however. I'd been hoping that Sean Astin would be nominated for Best Supporting Actor for ROTK. He deserves it.

you will be glad to know thats pretty close to what she said on the radio this morning.

ChannelZ, my fav radio station ( they are the NZ celebs in my shoop shoop video http://www.zhangziyi.us/musicvideo/shoop.mpg),- notably James Coleman, rang her first thing
this Morning - the nation loves her, she's so very switched on and mature for her age.

She was hanging out at the "Big Day Out" in Auckland - i don't think she realises ( or cares ) how famous she is. She was easily recognised but everyone seemed to be into thier own thing - as she is.

Originally posted by princessmoonbeam

good idea, if it were this year, i could have dragged the cute one & her bro into doing a Haka with the Kiwi's.

Keisha has set the record for the youngest person to be nominated for the Best Actress Oscar.

I wonder what she will wear.. I bet she would look sooo adorable in whatever she wears..

I'm glad she's keeping a level head about all this. Hopefully she always will. I also hope she'll never became the self-absorbed primadonna that many celebrities become. Not all of them are, but some. Especially a certain overated singer with a name that sounds a whole lot like the word "primadonna." I wonder who coined that phrase or word, "primadonna."

Perhaps Nostradamus who supposedly predicted a lot of world events and people centuries in advance. Maybe he was thinking of the material girl and arrived at that word. LOL!

But Keisha sounds like a well grounded, modest and level headed person. I wish her the best. If she wins, great! But even if not, sometimes not winning is a blessing in disguise. Because with winning very early in your career, there's a great deal of pressure to follow it up with more and more awards. There are a lot of great actors who were nominated many many times, and didn't win till late in their career.

Keisha should just enjoy the whole thing and if and when it's meant to happen it will.

I also hope that what happens to many child actors will never happen to her. Burnout, substance abuse, etc. Hopefully she'll avoid the pitfalls of Drew Barrymore to name just one of many. But, that may never happen to her, if she's careful and her parents look out for her.

I just found out that she was going to be in Star Wars EpIII.:D

That's so cool!!!

she's an awesome actor and a very level headed girl to boot....

I really hope she pulls the Oscar off... that'd be an astounding way to kick start her career...

either way, she'll take it well... she's a kiwi and we're used to being eaten by bigger fish... never stops our spirit though.

George Lucas must REALLY have liked Whale Rider. :bow:

By the way Shadow, where did you hear or read she was going to be in Ep.3? I checked around to see if I could find confirmation of that, but could not. :confused:

Check on IMDb http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1095720/

There's a pic of her in SW epIII, but you have to be a paid Hyperspace subscriber to see it.

Thanks for that link Shadow. Hmmm, "Regal Leader"; not sure what it means but intriguing.

Originally posted by MarkR

will it mean she gets a cool ship?

According to the official starwars website, she is definitely in the cast, however, her character is not listed. There are also rumors floating about that she will play Queen of Naboo - which sounds pretty regal to me.

http://www.starwars.com/episode-iii/castcrew.html

That'd be neat if she played the queen. I didn't like the last one (the one from AOTC).:D

I was surprized to recognise many of the others involved - its kind of like - the oscars seemd to be very close to home.

I’m not a fan of the stories.

I thought the last film was the best. I could actually follow it. I think all the films were visually stunning. The second best part for me.

I think Smiegal should have been up for best actor. Wait...wasn’t he really Sean Penn? What...then he did win!!! Yeaaaaaa!!! I liked him (even if he was touchy-feely.)

I loved Liv Tyler’s glasses at the Oscars.
