Yes, I have also read that Christopher Lee is a great fan of the book... I am sure it has his stamp of approval!

Why do you worry so much? (is it the shield-boarding?) ... Didn't PJ give us a great first film? The trailer takes my breath away... It is gonna be one terrific movie!

"Ever tried "From Here to Eternity?" A FReeper recommended it ;~D"

HaHa...no, but I did read Jones' Go to the Widowmaker over 30 years ago, loved it at the time, can't say if I still would or no after all this time. Still like some Hemingway (come to think about it, another human said to be not that nice, but I know he could see something to be able to write like that).

Thanks OT. I'm not left handed. But as they say "Any pint in a storm..." (or something like that)

I just hope I find some new writers to read...

I'm workin' on it, I'm working on it. I'm expecting the Hobbit Hole crowd to get me on the NYT best sellers list...

I am still up, had to run some errands, but I am back now. I didn't get much sleep last night either--coming back to my fried adaptor kind of threw a monkey-wrench into last night's sleep schedule. So I am heading off to bed here pretty soon. I probably won't have time to download the trailer till later on this week, maybe not even till the weekend. I'd rather not try it on a dialup, I guess I'm just too spoiled! :o I'm really glad to hear it's such good quality too! I will have to put together a new page of screenshots, I can see that coming...

I have never seen Rain Man, though I have been told numerous times to do so because it's good.

Hope you have a good night's sleep tonight! Sounds like we all could use it!

"I just kept thinking of him tossing Bran out the window."

Yes, that's true...but for some reason Martin wrote some decent behavior into his character at the end. His girlfriend seems really evil, though, and their kid unbelievable.

Did they say who his mother is? Different that there are so many bastards running around in the series. Actually my neighbor (grown and with kids) is one. I know it causes her some inner pain, though she's a pretty looking lady.

"... It is gonna be one terrific movie! "

I think so too, I'm only worried a little.

I am still up too... and will be for awhile... really don't like to put the horses in this early. I will maybe put them in at 9:00, but I can't at 8:00.

After the fireworks are over I will probably start leaving them outside on nice nights, but for now they still come in...

Yes you have to see Rain Man... I think this came up once before!

I understand you being too spoiled to try downloading on dialup... it is a 34 MB file... Which makes it bigger than the FoTR Trailer 3. It will be worth a page when you get it... It is crystal clear at full screen.

You know... I could start pulling screen caps from it myself to save you the work of it since it is QT... and post them at the Hobbit Hole perhaps? (Can we purge the old photos that are there if we run out of room?) - Could you pull them from there to your site?

That sounds wonderful! It's probably the actual file that will get posted at the official site.....how exciting!

I bet you are relieved once the Fourth is over--animals have a tough time with those fireworks, don't they? I always remember growing up the dogs near our house just howling all night long...

Well, it is time for me to pack it in and try to get to sleep....probably won't have any time to sign on tomorrow either. :( Maybe lunchtime....I will hold out for that! ;)

Night all!

There is no way to save the photos from the Hobbit Hole all at once--it has to be one at a time. :(

You could start doing the screencaps, save them to your computer, and then we could figure out how to get them posted on my site after that. I sure would appreciate it, I have a lot less time than I used to for this sort of thing....


Well, I really am packing it in now...thanks for your willingness to help, Hair.

Well, when you get your DSL going again, I could email them to you in some batches.
