Extremely Crappy Quality.. but... LORD OF THE RINGS trailer here!

I just got back from one of the weirdest double features of my life. First I saw the 1922 Douglas Fairbanks silent ROBIN HOOD with Gillian Anderson conducting at the Paramount Theater an orchestra.... But then I went over to the Alamo Drafthouse for BLACK BELT JONES starring Jim 'Dragon' Kelly. Well, I got home and sure nuff, someone calling themselves 'The Fat Man' (is it a relative of Sydney Greenstreet?) took a video cam into a theater and shot the trailer. It is only 2.4 megs and Quicktime... It is flickery as hell and the sound is of the worst quality imaginable... I do not recommend seeing it this way at all.... UNLESS you happen to be an internet user with 14.4 modem connections living far away from any type of movie theater, or in a country that won't be offering this for ya. In which case, the grainy, quality... hand held, shadowy head with a cap on (what sort of creep wears a gimme hat in a movie theater then gets between the screen and the enterprising young pirate with his dv in the audience?).... well, for those that are seeing it this way... the sound gets better... the images look beautiful.... And just remember to thank the Fat Man, Fat people rule! Don't click here to see what the Fat Man recorded!!! Also... NEW LINE, please offer Quicktime versions of all the video on the site, people on slower modem connections and older computers can't see the REAL VIDEO stuff... Be cool... cross formats baby!
