Oh.My.God. To Read or Not to Read?

Someone give a (spoiler free) report so that those of us who are trying to be "good" (aka pretty much unspoiled) can decide!!

I've just seen that over at TORN, where on earth did it come from?

Anyway, I simply don't have the time to read it at the moment, but I'm really torn (no pun intended) between whether to actually read it or not.

We've had plenty of spoilers of late (pictures, trailer, movie books, soundtrack samples), and I'm really not sure if I want to know these details ....



The fact that the damn thing is soooooooo long makes the decision easier I suppose.

Couldn't resist a quick peak - confirmed the 'avalanche sequence' of skulls that was reported to be filmed during re-shoots this Summer. Why does PJ have to turn every scene into some high paced, action film moment! :(

Anyway, I'm not going to read anymore. honest.

i read the whole thing, just got done. and there really arent too many spoilers in there. just the avalanche thing and sam seeing a star when they are sleeping in mordor. most of the stuff in the report we already knew. still , its a good read.

it also confirmed that the movie will indeed start off with pippin and the palantir. i wonder how this scene will be done now?

So there's nothing that the more purist-of-heart book fans could get upset by then?

no, not really. we knew pretty much everything thats in it already.

Oh, downflow, you rock. Thanks for that report... I'm going to go read it with only one eye open... wary of things I don't want to hear about.

its mostly just about sets and effects in ROTK, there really isnt any story spoilers at all.

Did you guys notice that many quotes attributed to PJ were actually said by others in the 10-min DVD preview? Wierd

yeah i noticed that. almost all of the quotes from the TTT DVD. it was nice to hear some new information regarding sets and vfx though.

The story spoilers for someone who has not read the books are HUGE... So, if you belong in this category be careful!
The movie changes spoilers are limited apart from a thing or two already mentioned and some things regarding Arwen's state in the movie

Other than that, it just validates my burning desire to see this movie NOW and honest to God, this movie sounds so F***ING GOOD it makes the world a better place!

Wow... Where did all this come from? A huge array of news (nothing shocking, thank goodness) but it's so comprehensive... Can't wait for Dec. 16th....

Can't wait...can't wait. The only thing was that I just couldn't read them all. Too much college work...

I read almost the entire article except for the technical production notes (i.e., miniatures, monsters, etc.). It's a good article, but as others have said, not too many spoilers.

I found it pretty boring as most if that stuff i already knew.

EOMER!! FOR GODS SAKE WHERE IS HE?!?!? I must know if Eomer's part has been diminished as it was in two towers.....please in the name of all that is sacred and Holy let him keep his "out of doubt, out of dark", "death take us all", and "ride for ruin" lines.

FVD, Jedi said that Imrahil wasn't in the YE, as Faramir is brought back to MT by his horse dragging him
