In case you haven’t year heard, two more movies based on the books of J.R.R. Tolkien will be released in 2011 and 2012.

Peter Jackson, who produced and directed the three very successful “Lord of the Rings” movies from 2001 through 2003, is co-writing the screenplay for del Toro’s “Hobbit” movies.

It is surely no easy task to follow in the footsteps of Peter Jackson.

So if you have not been involved in your local Tolkien forum community discussions now may be the time to drop by and introduce yourself to online friends who will share the journey forward with you. Exciting days lie ahead and you don’t want to be left behind when people start sharing secrets about the newest interpretation of Middle-earth.

Most people know the basic concept of one of today’s most violent sports, boxing, but contrary to popular belief, boxing is one of the oldest competitive sports still enjoyed today. Boxing has been around for so long, it has even been depicted on the walls of tombs in Egypt, dating from around 2000 to 1500 B.C. Boxing was also practiced by the empires of Ancient Rome and Greece. While the Greek fought with leather straps wrapped around their fists, the Romans used gloves wound with metal strips which promised a much more “interesting” show. Today’s boxing is of coarse much more civilized but it still carries on the tradition of heart pounding adrenaline that its ancient counterpart began.

One of the most popular and comprehensive ways to watch boxing at its best, is HBO Boxing. HBO Boxing has brought to us some of the greatest fights of modern history. Even though the roots of boxing sink thousands of years deep, there are still legends made in this spectacular sport all of the time. HBO Boxing’s first official event pitted George Foreman against the great Joe Frazier for only two rounds naming George Foreman the World Heavyweight Champion.

Since HBO Boxing’s first fight, there has been many great bouts such as “The rumble in the Jungle” where the legendary Muhammad Ali defeated George Foreman, and the more recent “Bite Fight” which featured Iron Mike Tyson devouring the ear of Evander Holyfield, which in turn, will forever remind us that this great sport is still packed full of as many surprises as adrenaline.

If you are interested in subscribing to HBO Boxing you can add 7 channels of HBO movies and Sports to your Direct TV total choice package for $12 or less. If you order the Total Choice Premier package, you will receive HBO and many other premium channels at no extra cost.
