Good grief.... Gandalf rode to get some advice about the shiny thing from a buddy of his... but his buddy is acting really strange...

You can't trust somebody who wears white out-of-season.

I love our little quiet place here... The rest of the forum seems to be in a perpetual airing of dirty laundry...

They have taken the shiny thing to a nice homely house in a pretty valley. They don't want the shiny thing there. They are having a meeting to figure out what to do with it.

I am beginning to weary of going onto those threads to play Rodney King. It looks like we need a war just to concentrate folks attitudes.

You'd think that dwarf Gimli would know that you can't destroy that shiny thing with an axe. That prince from the big city seems pretty arrogant too.

The city guy talked too much in the meeting...

Nobody wanted to take the shiny thing till the little cutie pie said he would take it... Then they all jumped on the bandwagon. Cowards...

I am gonna watch the rest of the movie from the comfort of the couch... until I fade...

Talk to you in the morning!

Well, I checked out the chatroom earlier and no one was there.

I as there until 9:13. I had started the movie but it got too distracting trying to watch the movie and looking for folkses. I still had to go to bed before Lothlorien.

Now Bilbo found a shiny thing too... put it in his pocket.

Those shiny things are dangerous.

Well, friends, how is it?

Excellent, but I recommend you see it in a theatre-dark room with the sound up. Way up.

Well, my replacement part is on its way--it arrived in Seattle, so I should get it today. Here's hoping someone lets the UPS guy into the building so that I'll have it when I get home today. I can't wait to be connected again!!!

Hope you all had fun chatting! Hopefully I'll be able to join in next time....

I still had to go to bed before Lothlorien.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....snort...cough...hmmmm....oh, excuse me. Must've drifted off...

Good morning all. Corin, Jr. and I started watching last night after we got home from National Night Out (a stellar success if I do say so myself). So we started out at 10:30 p.m. I knew it was a mistake, but I wanted to, and he really wanted me to watch it with him. However, I fell asleep in Lothlorien and woke up when Boromir was trying to take the ring from Frodo...

The only other thing we watched last night as the behind the scenes preview, which was pretty cool.

Okay, my questions - which were probably answered long before I arrived at the Hobbit Hole...

1) That "shiny thing" on the horizon in the Shire. Early speculation was that it was a car driving in the background. We saw it in the theater, but missed it last night (we didn't replay to verify). Is it gone, or did we just miss it on the small screen?

2) Tracks in the snow...again, it was said that crossing the mountain the tracks weren't there. But I thought I saw them...

Beyond that, it was sooooo cool to have. The clarity of the pictures is great. Last night was the first time I actually observed the changing of the size of the ring. And it's the first time Corin, Jr. connected the stone trolls with Bilbo's story (I had to help him a little).

I was probably too fuzzy last night to observe much more.

Good Morning Master Dwarf. It seems like you needed to rest and recover your strength. :)

I looked but the "shiny thing" was too small to see. Guess I need a bigger TV and a new monitor.

Tracks in the snow.....I didn't notice. Perhaps 2JM can help us out there.

The sparkly thing is gone. I noticed it and rewinded to make sure. I had heard in someone's pre-release review that they had removed it.

I don't know about the tracks in the snow.

The other night was the first time Steve noticed the trolls too! You couldn't really see them in the bootleg and he only saw the move ONCE in the theater (can you imagine?)

I understand. I don't like to talk about this too much. It's too painful. Mrs. Stormhands has never seen the movie...it's been difficult...

Actually, she very graciously allows me to take Corin, Jr. to the movies while she stays home with the little one. She goes on occasion, but usually waits for the VHS/DVD. We rarely see movies in the theater that Corin, Jr. wouldn't see. She watched part of it last night, but had to do some work for school. So she'll catch it later this week. (my guess is we'll be watching it again)

How about this:


A 20" Flat Panel LCD monitor? Only $1,549 at the Dell website.

You could probably get it shipped and have it by early next week. ;^)

Hullo! Good Morning!

Well, I am playing my morning movie while I sip my coffee... I didn't get all the way through last night before I fell asleep. Alas...

After some goofing off this morning, I am afraid I should probably get back to work today!

A million simultaneous unrelated excuses! We are all loooosers.

Now that Penny might actually be coming back... I say we schedule another chat view for the weekend... Friday or Saturday night?
