Eh how has it been on your comp since May when it's only been released last week? This is the new theatrical trailer, not the teaser trailer.

Unless... you work for Peter Jackson, stole all the footage and compiled it yourself?

Meh, if had me webspace up and running I'd link to it...

Read the book AFTER the films cause quite simply the film won't compare. I was dissapointed in the amount of cuts in the fellowship when I first saw it, but then kinda realised that it's such a hugely descriptive book that there was no way the film was gonna compare to my imagination.

However, the locations were spot on in the way they looked to how i imagined them.

actually i read the book in 6th grade sometime, and then a few months before the movie came out, then i saw the movie, (now i could compare the book to the movie) then i read the book again, because now i could think of the part of the book and imagine the scene of the movie where that hapened... much easier to visualize.

*shrugs* i dunno, do it however you want

no, this hasn't. theonering.net is just NOW doing a frame-by-frame. if this one had been out earlier, then that would have been done sooner.

not only that, but I've watched every trailer so far. I even have a countdown in my sig.

Looks damn sweet, glad Gandalf returns for the ass kicking in true form. Although he now appears to be white, no doubt that will be explained. And no I haven't read all three books - I don't like the writing style, but the general storyline kicks ass. Thus the films == teh win.

he was called "gandalf the grey" but now when he returns he's all white, and called "Gandalf the white" instead... something to do with how he fought the belrog and became purer or something like that... i don't know the story that well though of the second book.

And heretic:  i didn't know they had a new trailer out.  i saw the old one (teaser?) in men in black, but i never knew there was a new one

Whilst that makes sense and all, Salron(sp?) is white in the first film and continues to stay white in the trailer for the second film. I'd say striving to detroy the world of men would've skipped most of the spectrum and put him straight to black!

i dunno why he turns white, i was just guessing... i guess i'll have to read the book again!

i just know he said in the books that when him and the belrog fell to the bottom of the pit there was water, and it put all the belrog's fire out, and Gandalf had to fight him, but it was hard because he was all slimy.  and eventually he escaped

hehehe

ok, here this goes:


There is a hierarchy to wizards, in Return of the King, you'll encounter another one, a brown wizard.


The "white" is the highest level of wizard, saruman was this.

gandalf was a grey wizard. After his fight with the balrog, and the treason if Isenguard, Saruman lost the white status, and his robe becomes somewhat... nasty looking, while Gandalf becomes the white, and hence the most powerful of the wizards.

[Stunaep]

Gandalf is an Istari, which means, he is basically immortal. There are 5 Istari in total , the leader of them originally being Saruman the White (Thunder, your sp was awful), grandmaster Lee in the movie. Note that nor Gandalf nor Saruman were humans, they were Maia, an age-old race from another realm whose spirit was immortal.However, Saruman became corrupt, betraying the order. Gandalf did die,so to speak, when battling Balrog, but his spirit (his earthly body was destroyed) was sent back to finish his job (destroying Sauron) in the form of Gandalf the White, the wisest of the 6 Istari, the man who Saruman should have been.

Another interesting thing. Sauron was in the first age, only a servant (so was, btw Balrog) of Morgoth, the Archenemy (might be a name error here, I'm don't have Return of the King here, so I can't check the translation) who lived far up in the north. Maia were among those who battled him. The full story is told in the Silmarillion.

that was actually Saruman's own choice now wasn't it.
