Digest Number 553

** High Priority **

I was able to bring up the play-by-mail.com site, and let me tell you I was disgusted! You are greeted with a peach-ish screen with an "ENTER" button and then some of the most disgusting stuff I have ever seen is displayed. But being a consummate professional I persevered through the "Free Tour" 6 times to make sure I had all the details correct. I was going to force myself to go through it again, but my boss came by.

If anyone feels that I should go back and review the site again I might be able to force myself.

But seriously, there are no warnings before pornography is displayed to advise anyone what it is they are opening. There is a Tom & Nicole video with a black bar over Nicole's naughty bits as soon as the first screen is displayed with promises of more inside. The free tour includes everything imaginable, well maybe not everything, I didn't notice any beastiality!

Hi,
On behalf of Flagship I drew the short straw to actually
look at this damn site, and I have to say that I can't even
get access to it (using both Netscape and Internet
Explorer). If anyone has better luck (if thats the right
word), please contact me privately - no point in clogging up
the MEPBM list with this sort of stuff.

Colin.

For people in the UK, there's a preview of the first LOTR film on Film 2001
tonight on BBC.

Might be worth watching for once...?

Hey, that's not fair! What about us in the states?
(Anyone know if the preview will air here, and where/when?)

you think that's not fair. Its being made next door to
where I live, and I would have liked to just across
the pond and see it being made. But it was a closed
shop.

I think they were too busy working out how tall
gandalf was to notice.

:slight_smile:

thanks

p.s even if it was bad, I will still pay money to
watch it. But only once.

I'm actually interesting in movie number 2 and 3, ie
how will they remind the audience of what they saw a
year ago. And will they try to make people think they
just saw a complete movie, or will it be a 'wait a
year, to see what happens' sort of movie (like they do
at the end of season's break for all a TV series).

is that like 'eagles may soar, but turkeys don't get
sucked into a plane's engine ?'

The preview was approximately 20 seconds long (I kid you not) and showed a
scene with thousands of orcs rushing down a hillside, and a quick shot of
who I presume was Frodo.
They did say a 15 minute teaser will be shown at this year's Cannes Film
Festival, so if anyone happens to be in the South of France about then...

Another great site to check out (besides lordsoftherings.net)
is: http://www.tolkien-movies.com

In particular, I just love hearing the fragment of
Arwen speaking Elvish, at:
http://www.tolkien-movies.com/media/sounds/obrien-tylerspeakselvish.mp
3

And two great pics, one of Saruman and another
of one of his orcs, at:

Anyone playing Game 40 (NKA),

I made a mistake in the Game number. It is 40 not 19
(which is my nation number). So here it goes again:
There has been a coup in the neutral nation of the
Dominion and I am now the new heir. I wish to make
contact with any nation that desires to open
diplomatic channels.

Heir Apparent (Eric)
