I am still bummed out by last night, but am recovering with the great news about the TTT trailer finally showing up Friday! I have been busy today, and got to the chat room late, guess you had finished up by then.
I was going to ask who was taking care of the champagne until next year, but after seeing the game earlier today on the thread, it looks like you folks finished it up! Since I see that some of you are looking to nuke some of the Hollyweird idiots, I guess that I should hold onto my jet fuel until next year. I discovered earlier today where Travolta will be keeping his 747 (I think), and should be able to make better plans in this regard for next year, just in case!
See you folks around.

Top of the evening to you! - I missed the chat too... Sortof wondered if they were still there - guess not. -had to go buy hay for the horses! It's hard bein' just one chick lugging bales around!
Did you see the other review of the trailer that John Farson posted? - better written than that first one above.

I'm going back to the chat now...

Yes I read it, it is a little overwritten, but does a good job of interesting me, at least, to go and see the movie on Friday. I am in the chatroom, in case anyone else is going.

Heh, very funny... ;)
BTW, just found out why the other hobbits and the elf weren't at the awards ceremony--seems they had flown in just to attend and then they were told they didn't have enough room in the theater. How's that for more of an LOTR snub? Grrrr....
They DID get to go to the exclusive Vanity Fair party at least, though so far as I can see they seem to be the only ones who went to that one...which seems odd to me, but oh well...
Here's the story:
RINGS STARS OSCAR SNUB No Seats For Three Brit Actors By Nicole Lampert Three British Stars of Lord Of The Rings were snubbed by Oscars bosses who failed to invite them to last nights ceremony. Orlando Bloom, Billy Boyd and Dominic Monaghan were flown into LA on Saturday for the bash. They expected to get prime seats for the ceremony as stars of the film nominated for 13 awards. But stunned Lord Of The Rings producers were told that there was no room left in Hollywood's 3,500 seater Kodak Theater. Orlando, 25, who plays elf warrior Legolas, said last night: "I`m going out to get drunk anyway." Dominic, 25, who plays Merry added: "We have plenty of options for a night out. But the Oscars isn't one of them."
Last night Orlando, Dominic, and Billy, 33, who plays hobbit Pippin were on standby in case seats became available.
-------------
Actually, in re-reading this it sounds to me like someone at NewLine blew it--the studios are told how many seats/tickets they get, aren't they? Somebody blew it, anyway. Apparently this theater has significantly fewer seats than the former venue....

Good Morning All - Pinging myself to test this new look.
To: HairOfTheDog
What new look?
To: HairOfTheDog
Good morning! I hope we're all better rested, over the Oscars (ha!) and not quite as silly today. If not, hey, that's fine with me too.

The Beta is all switched around again. - and actually the test didn't work because it was from me - wanted to see what new comments looked like in Self Search, and because I posted it, it wasn't "new". Thanks for your ping. Now I know... Can't see (like the old blue/red post numbers) whether a comment is new unless you go there. See JohnRob's new Beta thread.
To: JenB
Good Morning! - Actually this will be an absent day for me... Have to go to Seattle. - Meetings may keep me from playing much. Only have a few minutes now befor I have to get moving.
To: HairOfTheDog
That job is interfering too much with your personal life! :)
To: Overtaxed
I will let my boss know that right away. Hope she doesn't have any big plans for me on Friday ;~D
To: HairOfTheDog
Hey, the Beta version's really nice! I haven't had much chance to play with it before but I really like it...

Good morning! Where were you last night? We were chatting!
I scheduled a chat event to last all evening on the 29th.
To: 2Jedismom
Cool! I can even oversleep on the 30th (assuming my cat will allow it.)
To: Overtaxed;JenB
Who was that guy with the long dark hair sitting next to Sir Ian at the Oscars? I hope he wasn't his "life partner".

I expect it was. Everytime they showed "Sir Ian" I made it a point to look away from the screen.
To: ksen
Yes, that was his young beau.
