A lot about that scene didn't make sense

I think it was there mainly to poke fun at Gimli; here he was warning the hobbits and talking about his keen hearing and suddenly there are arrows in his face!

Glad we're back on this topic.

That was my impression too. Sort of like he needed more fiber.

Or new BVDs. Nothing goes right when your underwear's tight!

He just lacked "presence". He did not "command my respect" as the character in the book did...no how, no way. I think I'm downgrading him to a C+...

"The movie Haldir was a snoot at BEST."

Doesn't look much like an elf either.

I'm glad you waited until you got the ring...

LOL! My, my, aren't we just sparkling this morning? Must be from that lack of sleep!

Looks like a holier-than-thou liberal yuppie...(with his undies in a twist)

I don't know if elves even wear undies, Tolkien was so noble to spare us from imagining either underwear or bodily functions in this story.

But the elves do find this whole discussion amusing!

There was one guy from MS (which isn't LA, but...) who made WONDERFUL gumbo, though he had to tone down the heat a bit for some of us Northerners..

Hey, folks from MS know how to make gumbo (I'm one of them)! Sir SuziQ likes it hot enough to make his nose run. I just make it spicy enough for me, then give him the cayenne pepper and let him go to it! Where in MS did this guy live?

We love it when we can bring home that good Gulf (of Mexico) Shrimp. It just has a wonderful flavor. I didn't realize our oldest even noticed it, but he was telling us about talking to some folks at his college and they said they didn't like shrimp. He told them they needed to try the Gulf Shrimp and they'd change their minds. I'm so glad we've given that boy some CULTURE!

Agreed. And we should try to be as noble....

But it ain't easy when you see the likes of Haldir.....

"arrows in his face!"

They always feel like they have to be dramatic in the extreme in movies anyway. Cars have to explode when they're wrecked, etc.

Come to think of it, in Long Kiss Goodnight, when they ran over a deer with a Volvo, even the Volve exploded, which was funny.

"My house is built into a hillside"

Like a hobbit hole?
