The New Hobbit Hole

*sigh* Well, he still plays an outstanding Gandalf, I just wish that I didn't have to know THAT much about his personal life.

OK - I am off to Seattle - Ping me for interesting stuff today - but I may not be able to get online till tonight :( - Have a good day!

I was there! I was there until almost 11 eastern - you were there for a while and then disappeared. So where were you?

Hubby came in...I came back later on and we had a good visit.

I think he is more like the "boyfriend of the month" or whatever...

:: shudder::

[Penny1]

I know what you mean...if he didn't flaunt the lifestyle so much at every opportunity, it wouldn't be so bad...

[ksen]

Made me kind of nervous seeing the picture of him reading to those schoolchildren on his website.

Oh dear, that is worrisome...I hadn't seen that.

Compared to Sir Ian, Oscar Wilde was the soul of discretion. What he does with other adults is his own private business, and I wish he would keep it private.

I wholeheartedly agree.

Boy, we sure are quiet today....is there some secret party going on somewhere that I don't know about? Or are we just all talked-out...?

[Overtaxed]

I should have stayed up later last night and opened another bottle of champagne. Then we could have re-written the Council of Elrond scene. :)

[Penny1]

Hehehe, that could have been rather fun...

Maybe if you insulted the elves again that would stir everyone up and bring people back to our little thread. ;)

[JenB]

I've just been tired today and needed a nap. I should be on off and on for a good while, and then on to chat around 9 eastern again.

[Penny1]

See, the elves comment woke her up! ;)

btw, I won't be at chat tonight, I have choir practice, so everyone have fun!

I spend most of my time on The Neverending Story and it has been slow there as well for the past couple of days. I wonder if the forum split has anything to do with it or if people are just using the chat room more instead of this thread.

I hope it doesn't die out, this thread has been a real treat.

Oh don't worry, this is the thread that never dies. ;) Just wait till Friday--we will all be babbling about the new trailer, lol...

I can't use the chat room while at work...the IT department frowns on downloading and running "foreign" programs and I don't have Javachat at work.

I reckon people just had to do some work today!

You just want to get me in trouble, don't you? :)

Outside of the "movie Elves" looking down their noses at everyone, here's what I've got against Elves:

First they make Rings of Power that are perilous to all mortals...i.e. - their neighbors. They leak their "Ring technology" to the major bad guy. Okay, I'll grant that that was unintentional. They let Isildur keep the stupid thing knowing it was perilous for mortals (and if it's a strong temptation for Elves such as Galadriel, where does the "movie Elrond" get off putting all the blame on Isildur?)

They should have taken it from Isildur (yeah, I know the "breaking his mind" bit. But you'd rather let all the free peoples of Middle Earth suffer because of it?) and destroyed it then and there. And now, in Frodo's time, Sauron's strength is growing, the Ring is found...and the Elves are bugging out! "We're leaving Middle Earth, guys, good luck!"

Well thank you very much, Elves of Middle Earth. Cheese-eating abandon monkeys!
