You're not foolin' anyone...
Well, my 13-year-old liked it and wanted to see it again. But I think it's just the continuing Star Wars frenzy (a light saber once saved his life - it's a long story - have I told it here?). Anyway, we'll get the video to complete the set. But he can watch it in his room.
Maybe when Episode III comes out on video in a few years we'll sit down and watch all 6 on a snowy/rainy weekend.
But I'll keep the pints handy!
Hullo Corin...crotchety as ever this morning I trust? Did you see my post about the rancid ribs?...#204

When was this? I hadn't heard about it yet. What is it with all the kidnapping, or is it just that they are getting in the headlines more than usual? Sad, very sad.
Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clowns, ummm....Clones
Your list: Hunt for Red October, Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius, and Spy Kids
My list: Men in Black, Snow Dogs, Gosford Park and The Majestic
I can see a definite pattern there. THEY'RE ALL MOVIES!!!!!!
But wait! The Blockbuster I use is right next door to a grocery store we frequent and I went in and bought ice cream and used my grocery discount card!!!! OH NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
The ice cream flavor is classified information.
God help us all, and save the children. It's an ugly world out there.

Just picked up the new Empire magazine and thought i'd send you some info they featured on the new scenes in FOTR Extended cut. Empire saw the Extended Edition with the rest of the cast and crew during the reshoots for TTT. Theres some info I haven't seen before so here goes:
- The Shire sequence has been greatly extended, including a voiceover from Bilbo "concerning Hobbits". And Pippin sings!
- Aragorn is given a fleshed out backstory, including him visiting his mother's grave at Rivendell. He also sings in Elvish.
- The Council of Elrond is extended including Gandalf speaking in the dark tongue of Mordor and more confrontation with Boromir.
- In Moria the battle with the Cave Troll is longer including Aragorn saving Boromir's life!
- Lothlorien is much longer, including more of Haldir's complaints over Gimli, Celeborn, and the famous gift-giving sequence with Galadriel.
- Gollum as "the log with the eyes" gets another cameo.
- The battle with Lurtz and the Uruk-Hai has small scenes re-inserted that give it far more zip. For example, Lurtz pulls the dagger from his leg and licks away the blood.
Hope this was useful. Love the site!
"They have set up kings, but not by Me; They have appointed princes, but I did not know it. With their silver and gold they have made idols for themselves... how long will they be incapable of innocence? ...For they sow the wind, and they reap the whirlwind..."
My hubby and I watched that last weekend. I have to say that I wasn't impressed a whole lot. It seemed a little to confusing and chaotic for me. It didn't seem to well written, and not worth the hype that surrounded it. Had to share.
There's nothing wrong with that! That's a great verse, reminds of who is really in control.
We watched it twice because it is a bit difficult to follow. I think it was good representation of the distinction between the classes. Did you notice that even the servants were served their dinner by the kitchen staff?
And we love Maggie Smith.
Shark attacks are down too, but I'm not taking any foolish chances when we go to the beach.
