I wish I was on their staff! They always seem to get the cool scoops!

He quoted Tolkien from when the first overtures were made to him regarding a film version of his life’s work: “Give me art or give me cash.” Shaye said the most satisfying thing about the project has been watching Peter Jackson manage both, somehow, making a film that feels personal in every detail, but that has connected with fans on a global scale.

I’d have to agree with him there.

###Regard the 2 DVD releases

The consumer’s not getting screwed here, since they won’t be getting the same thing in November that they get in August in any way. Both discs are going to be worth owning, and combined, they represent a complete record of FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING as it stands right now.

At least now I can justify to my wife having to own both!!!

Now… only 8 months until The Two Towers!

Why are there going to be 2 DVD releases, and why so long of a wait?

Matt LaSorsa, senior vice president of marketing for New Line Home Entertainment, took a few minutes to answer some of my questions about the two-tier strategy for releasing the Lord of the Rings film on DVD.

I can’t wait!

It is True??

Just another case of open mouth insert foot

Even Microsoft knows that its server OS doesn’t compare to UNIX.

A Web site sponsored by Microsoft and Unisys as a way to steer big companies away from the Unix operating system is itself powered by Unix software.

Could this possibly be an April Fools’ Day joke? I guess it’s possible, but I wouldn’t put this past Microsoft.

The *We have the way out* campaign describes Unix as an expensive trap. One ad reads: No wonder Unix makes you feel boxed in. It ties you to an inflexible system. It requires you to pay for expensive experts. It makes you struggle daily with a server environment that’s more complex than ever.

This has got to be a joke. NOBODY could possibly be this dishonest and two-faced!
