It seems clear to me that PJ intends to link Orthanc with Barad-Dur. Well PJ just flat-out got it wrong! :)
To: HairOfTheDog
I only know they are there because I got occasional FReepmails when I was late posting a chapter. Maybe if we have the discussion here and if you use your Green Dragon ping list to notify any interested lurkers.....or were you planning on doing that all along?

What happened to all the dwarves? Well, this dwarf has been laboring in the mines. Two, count 'em, two Board Meetings today. Just finished one and wolfing down lunch (I'm eating again g'nad, down 12 lbs., but I figure breakfast put most of that back on).
Taking a break from the idjits, but I've got to dash soon...

Well PJ just flat-out got it wrong! :) Well, because I did too, and Tolkien never said one way or the other except in a letter to his publisher, I would say PJ is in very good company!

You have to many boards... That is your problem!
To: Overtaxed
Yes... I could just ping the list to the new chapter same as I always did...
Let me ask this... does it work on this thread? - Or should we start a new combo thread? (back to the same old discussion) Bear with me!
To: HairOfTheDog
You have to many boards... Way to many...I "manage" six of them...gotta run...
To: HairOfTheDog
Hehehe. I tend to agree with Tolkien. "Two Towers" is confusing. There are so many towers to choose from. Since the last book was named "Return of the King" maybe the second book should have been called "The King is Coming" or the "King is Getting There" or "The King is Not Quite There Yet." :) Yes, I know. Silly, fool Took titles. BTW I don't think JRRT liked "The Return of the King" as a title either.

does it work on this thread? - Or should we start a new combo thread? What? And miss post 65535? :)
IMHO I think that the only advantage to starting a new thread would be that it might generate some new interest among non-regulars. I'm just wondering how much of the new thread would be TTT book/movie discussion and how much would be our friendly hobbity chit-chat. Non-regulars might not be interested in wading through the chit-chat to get to the book/movie discussion.
To: Overtaxed
They may not be interested... but they probably might be more interested if we were starting fresh than if we just started it here... I don't really care either way. A new fresh post that is The Hobbit Hole with weekly Green Dragon posts, all of our news tidbits and general chatter rolled into one appeals to me, mostly for tidiness then anything else. I hate that our front page picture is broken, and I would like to put up something new and clean. If we generate new interest then fine... but those of us that are interested will find it anyway, even if we bury it here.
To: HairOfTheDog
Well, that's okay with me and we'll get to use ecurbh's graphic sooner.
BTW I found this. I just wish the image was clearer:
To: ksen
Someone's got to have a lot of gall to criticize fantasy/sci-fi with a name like Comix.Yeah, I noticed that too, and almost pointed that out on the other thread... but I took a deep breath and let the impulse pass. It's really not worth getting riled up over, IMHO.
I wonder if he really does like comics.
Well, technically, "comix" are not the same as "comics". The term "comix" was coined to indicate underground comics of the 60s & 70s, and later came to be associated with any comic book that had a more "adult" slant.
I didn't know there were a lot of deep, reality-based comic books out there
There are some, but most of them probably wouldn't be to the taste of the FReepers here.
To: HairOfTheDog
plebian input would put you in very good standing over thereMaybe, but I'd probably get riled up over it, and I prefer to maintain a calm center (think happy thoughts, think happy thoughts...)
which I appreciate your brain fixing for me.
My brain says, "You're welcome!"
To: Overtaxed; Penny1; ecurbh
Cool... so someone at TORN has broken out screen caps? Good! That scene happens really fast...
When Ecurbh and Penny get back lets start the TTT read... Hopefully on a new pretty Hobbit Hole/Green Dragon thread with ecurbh's graphic, but either way Hair will be happy!
To: Overtaxed
BTW I found this. Let me be the first to ask, what the heck is that?
To: Bear_in_RoseBear
It is Wormtongue being thrown out of the Golden Hall, from the Teaser trailer!
To: HairOfTheDog
It is Wormtongue being thrown out of the Golden HallUhmm, ok... yeah... (tilting head) ok, sure, I can see that! Uhmmmm.... yeah........ ;)
To: HairOfTheDog; Bear_in_RoseBear
Hair and Bear I finally got to work that in, I'd like to get a still of Wormtongue when he's halfway down the stairs (preferably bouncing on his rump!)
To: Overtaxed
Penny the still-master has left us till next week... Drat. I could capture stills but have nowhere to post them that works!
Well, I have to get busy here.... more later!
To: HairOfTheDog
I was capturing some stills yesterday. With Wormtongue all I could get was a shot at the top of the steps and one at the bottom: none in the middle.
