The New Hobbit Hole

[BibChr]

I may be the only hardcore here who will say a kind word about the Bakshi version. I do think it was an earnest attempt, and I think there's a lot to like about it. A minority opinion here, but mine own.

Now, the RANKIN-BASS abominations are an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT MATTER....

Good heavens! How many times have you seen it NOW?? My Valerie doesn't even lurk here, and she asked me yesterday, BY NAME, "Well, how many times has 2JedisMom seen it?" I'm to 15; where will YOU be in a month if it comes out in a .50 theater? Are we going to have to do an INTERVENTION because your little Jedis are being unable to identify you by face??

I've seen it 16 times now and if it come out in the fifty cent theater, my jedis will go with me! I can just go get popcorn with them during the bad parts.

My six year old was figuring up how many times he could see it with his tooth money! LOL

[HairOfTheDog]

If I was still counting, I would know how close I am to your stats... but I am not counting! - I do know that I stopped counting at ten.... Five to Seven viewings ago.

[Penny1]

LOL

I made sure to stop counting as well.... ;)

[HairOfTheDog]

Everything I was supposed to do in Seattle has been cancelled, so it doesn't look like I am coming up there. Will we have a chance next week to see it there if I put off our viewing? - Any guess how long it will be at the Cinerama?

[Penny1]

We won't know till Thursday whether it will last past this week's showing. I haven't been down there at all to see what the attendance is like. I would guess it will be at least a 2-week run, just because I think that's what they tend to do--2 weeks at a time per movie, unless it's a first release of a big hit like LOTR.

We could take a chance and wait, if you want.

[HairOfTheDog]

Well, I would like to wait till next week... I hate commuting to Seattle on days where it is optional! Even though seeing the film would soften the blow....

[Penny1]

That's fine with me...I'm willing to take the chance, and I certainly understand you not wanting to drive up here if you don't have to. ;)

Just an FYI, my access to FR at work is not at all certain anymore, someone's been playing with the firewall again. Today I had access all day until about 4:45 when all of a sudden I was being blocked again.

:: sigh ::

[2Jedismom]

Well, it seems my computer is not going to let me chat this evening... :-(

I hope you enjoy your disk (that's the last thing I saw you say before it crashed). I enjoy mine, but hated having to go to my mom's house to watch it on her computer! Oh well, if it comes to the .50 theater, I'll be in business till I get the new computer!

I'm going to go read. Gandalf just told Frodo to keep it secret and safe.

I should do something really cruel in return, like introduce you to something else that will addict you and take away your free time.

All my free time has already been taken away by other addictions. :)

[Samwise]

I wouldn't mind seeing a Star Trek thread start up.......hell maybe I'll do it myself. hehe

Ping me if you do. And welcome to the Hole.

[Penny1]

Good Morning!

Guess who finally learned how to make screen caps from DivX files? :) :)

[Penny1]

The software to use to capture frames from DivX files is called virtualdub. It works like a dream, you just move the scrollbar to whichever frame you want and capture it to your clipboard.

Here's the link to their website:

"Virtualdub.org"

That only took me about a month to find! ;)

[JAWs]

Although the "where there's a whip" song is catchy.

And kinky!

[Penny1]

And lest anyone think that the only thing I like from the movie is Aragorn, here's a very VERY cool shot:

And here's one for the guys:

Whew....must....stop....posting.....pictures.....

Sorry...got just a little carried away there.

[irishtenor]

Fly away hair? And probably has split ends, too. :>)

[Penny1]

I was wondering when you were going to show up... ;)

[irishtenor]

You're up awful early...

[irishtenor]

I am busy reading the Fellowship of the Rings (for the first time in 30 years). Did you know that Bilbo and Frodo's birthday is one day after mine? Interesting:>)
