Sticking to my not watching anything else until show time.
Any links to the pre-orders of the toys for this movie? Curious as to what they look like.
Gollum looks absolutely amazing!!!!!!!!!!!
Orcrist looks so badass. What's up with the Calvin Klein model dwarf? Guess they had to throw something in for the ladies.
I never had a problem with the special effects from the LOTR films, especially those used for Smeagol. To answer your question though Agen Kolar, the eye proportions look off due to the lighting. I'm sure under normal circumstances they will appear fine.
By the way, I got my tungsten carbide 18k plated "One Ring" today. It definitely doesn't seem to scratch easy, if at all. Although, I'm not sure if the "markings" would be able to sustain themselves under a knife.
