    I’m a-sailing right now with Peter Duck.

    I’ve finished Nightmare’s Edge now. Definitely glad that he turned the pseudo-romance around and turned it into a nice brother/sister relationship, but left the rest to your imagination.

    Anybody else think the last chapter was rushed? I mean, there are about two pages between the saving of the Earths and whatever happened to Patar, Amber, and Cerulean (I suppose they died) and the happy tied up ending. I really wish he’d spent a little more time explaining more of the why behind Patar and such, though I may have missed something since I didn’t reread the other two ahead of time.

    Thanks, Glittermouse and Alyosha. You seem to have discovered a stray bug. I’ve fixed it now.

    Wow, this has gotten bumped down. We now know that Peter Jackson is producing, but not directing. Guillermo del Toro will be directing both films.

    Recent news is that they have decided to make both films based on The Hobbit, instead of one on The Hobbit and the other on various bits to bridge the two.

    “We’ve decided to have The Hobbit span the two movies, including the White Council and the comings and goings of Gandalf to Dol Guldur,” says Del Toro.

    “We decided it would be a mistake to try to cram everything into one movie,” adds Jackson. “The essential brief was to do The Hobbit, and it allows us to make The Hobbit in a little more style, if you like, of the [LOTR] trilogy.”

    Sounds good to me! I was a bit wary of the “Bridge Film” idea.

    By the way, LOTR-wise, has anybody seen The Hunt for Gollum? It’s a fan film made for about $5,000, based on Aragorn’s hunt for Gollum. It’s watchable online for free at: thehuntforgollum.com (warning: it’s definitely PG-13 for violence/gore/orc blood)

    Nightmare’s Edge, also. Though I think C Triebold is further along than I am. (use them spoiler tags wisely!)

    Alrighty, I know for a fact that there are some participants registered who haven’t posted here… Normally I wouldn’t say anything, but I don’t know some of you! Introduce yourself! :wink:

    Pip, I have no idea what happened, but a ton of your posts got marked as junk… I’ve rescued most of them, I think. [And I don’t even like the acronym “R.A.T. or RAT” but call it what you like…]

    Um, besides slightly confusing because I hadn’t re-read the previous two first… Great (all one chapter I’ve read).

    I actually liked the romance/pseudo-romance. While I’m not a big fan of teen romance, I really thought that Bryan Davis had a nice twist on it.

    I mean, in DIOM he had Bonnie trying to bring Billy to Christ, but he’s practically a Christian to begin with. Contrast that to EFTE, where Nathan is trying to reach Kelly, his stepsister (so he can’t get away from her) he knows hasn’t lived all that rightly, all while trying not to overstep the boundaries his father hammered into him from childhood… Now you’ve got me hooked!

    Hey! Welcome back, Pip! You missed being off-topic with us in the Read-a-Thon Enthusiasm thread… :D

    You can always put the image on Flickr or Photobucket or some such site and then post a link.

    I do remember that a lot of the character development comes in the second book. No idea about book three, I’m one chapter into it now.

    It seems to me that most of the storyline is really aimed at the guy audience…

    I’ve changed the title of this thread to be for questions about Read-a-Thon ’09, comments, and enthusiasm. It’s a perfect place to pop in and say you’re joining, either before or after the official announcement.
