Hope everyone has a better Monday than I am! It's too late for me... Finally got some breathing space...
Had a great weekend, Bear...too bad it got ruined by a Monday morning melee...It was a bloody affair, but the dwarf held his own and slew a lot of nasties in the process...I expect a second assault this afternoon...

Is it Friday yet? 4 days to go!
To: *all
But, back to the movie. After watching it this weekend I think I found a small discrepancy that someone here can help me with. When traveling through the Shire in the cornfield Sam says that that is as far as he has ever been from home. (As an aside my DVD has the car and dust cloud on the right hand side of the screen, wide version.) Back to the problem, later when Merry and Pippin rush out of the other corn and into Frodo and Sam, Sam exclaims something along the lines of, "You've been raiding Farmer Maggot's fields again."
How does he know whose fields they are if he has never been to this part of the Shire?
To: g'nad
You have my bow!
To: g'nad
"...I expect a second assault this afternoon..."
Hope everything will be OK then.

I expect a second assault this afternoon...
Maybe we can send Gandalf out to round up some reinforcements?
To: doubled
It is a bit of a goof I noticed too.... Thinking Merry and Pippin wouldn't have been out cavorting farther from home than Sam has ever been either. Oh well!
To: Overtaxed
Is it 4:00 yet? 4 hours 50 minutes and counting! :)
To: doubled
Maybe he's heard stories? Farmer Maggot griping at the market perhaps?
Another DVD question. Can anyone recommend a DVD player software for PC's? That Interactive player that came with the disk freezes my system. Or at least the upgrade that I got from their website does.

Merry and Pippin were from other parts of the Shire than Sam, so they did travel more through it, although that doesn't come out in the film. I wouldn't have been curious if Frodo had said it as he also traveled throughout the Shire. It just didn't fit when Sam said it.

Thinking Merry and Pippin wouldn't have been out cavorting farther from home than Sam Well there are some odd folk down in Buckland and you never know about those Tooks!
To: Bear_in_RoseBear
Is it lunch yet?
To: doubled
I think that he had walked to within sight of Maggot's fields, or at least knew where they were. Probably he also knew what Merry and Pippin had been up to, and then figured out for himself where the armfuls of groceries must have come form.
But I don't think they actually had corn in Europe 7,000 years ago. Not that it matters anyway, the hobbits seem to be another anachronism, Victorians somehow living in the midst of an ancient Norse saga.

You have my bow! I appreciate that Hair...a stand off weapon is preferable to whittle down the enemy at range...with an axe you're up-close and personal...
