The New Hobbit Hole

I hope you solve your DVD deficiency eventually! :~(

Do you have plans for the TTT premier?

Penny and I have talked about trekking to the Cinerama for the midnight show, which would be an experience you would be welcome to come along for!

But even if we don't go to Seattle, will you be doing the midnight show for TTT here in Oly?

I will be doing the midnight show this time around.... I think I owe it to my obsession! It would be fun to meet you, and your wife, if she shares in this craziness!

[HairOfTheDog]

You could rent the video.... [idea]

My wife doesn't really share in the craziness (she hasn't read the books but was semi-enthusiastic about the movie), but she might be game to try the local midnight show anyway -- depending on the day of the week it is. It'd be fun if it's a weekend -- and I can stay awake! (I can't even remember what day the opening is now -- December sometime isn't it?).

My DVD deficiency will be solved for Christmas.

Good evening everyone...

Pretty quiet here tonight! Rose and I stopped to visit a friend on the way home from work... since he works evenings at a bookstore, we also wound up spending too much money on books. (sigh)

Anyway, our friend mentioned that he had heard there was going to be a Lord of the Rings version of the classic boardgame Risk. He didn't have much info on it, other than that the gameboard would be based on the Middle Earth map. I went looking for info online once we got home, and found this at TORN: Lord of the Rings "Risk"

If this has been mentioned before, I missed it!

No such luck as a weekend premier... It opens the 18th... A Wednesday, which means the midnight show would be the Tuesday night, Dec 17th. - I will take the day off on Wed... I have had worse reasons! Probably sneak some sleep, much posting, and an afternoon show to see if I really like it!

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Gee...you think there's a chance you won't really like it...nah.

Bummer about the opening -- why open at midnight in the middle of the week??? That doesn't make sense at all.

[HairOfTheDog]

I think if you stopped to notice, most movies open or close on Wednesdays, you just haven't cared before! I don't know why!

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Really?!

You learn something every day.

[SuziQ]

Thanks for the ping. I don't know if I can be there, but maybe I'll drop in for a bit. We are going to watch the first episode of Ken Burn's Civil War series on PBS at 8 on Sun. evening. It is timely because our kids just went through the Civil War in their Amer. History studies. It has been about 10 years since it was first on TV. It is also now on DVD!

[Sam Cree]

"It is also now on DVD!"

I wonder how much they get for it. I wanted to watch it again, but the Miami library system doesn't seem to have it, nor do the local Blockbuster Video stores. Maybe since there wasn't any action here.

Hello, everyone, I'm back, the hurricane seems to be going elsewhere for now, luckily.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Good morning everyone....

Hi, Sam, and welcome back. Glad to see you made it home safely. The weather people are unclear, but it's possible that hurricane may be coming my way in a few days...

By the way, here's a link for Ken Burns' Civil War at Amazon.com.

Hope everyone has a good day!

Hi. How's your Saturday? I'll try to be there for the party tomorrow, but may be a little late... we will be having the season premiere of "Enterprise" at some point tomorrow evening, if we can get our group together, so I'm not sure when. It's one of the two shows my whole family, plus our "adopted" childless friends watch. So I'll try but if I'm not there I'll be thinking of everyone at least.

[Chancellor Palpatine]

What is this thread?

[JenB]

Uh... we're the Anti-Imperial-Forces brigade...

Actually, we're the Lord of the Rings Fanatics who hang out and talk about... stuff. Sort of a break from regular Freeping. If you like Lord of the Rings you're welcome to join. As long as you don't bash Elves.

Good morning! - I had to run up the feed store first thing this morning and I just got back.

Now I will be having some coffee and restart my morning normally! - I sure have a lot of chores I put off until today.... wonder if I can fit them all in!

Here is a cute joke:

One summer evening during a violent thunderstorm a
mother was tucking her son into bed. She was about
to turn off the light when he asked with a tremor in his
voice, "Mommy, will you sleep with me tonight?" The
mother smiled and gave him a reassuring hug. "I can't
dear," she said. "I have to sleep in Daddy's room." A
long silence was broken at last by his shaky little
voice: "The big sissy."

[Overtaxed]

As long as you don't bash Elves.

Au contraire! Elf bashers are especially welcome!

Good afternoon, everyone!

[Chancellor Palpatine]

Heheh - looks fun. I have some errands this morning, but may check this out later.

[HairOfTheDog]

Yes, we belong after the errands in the "to do" list....

If I could only master that...

Welcome! - Help yourself to the pints and seedcakes. I can make you some eggs if you like.

[Overtaxed]

ElfBash

[HairOfTheDog]

Stop recruiting all the new folk to the Elf bash party!

No one with a pretentious name like Chancelor Palpatine would be prone to elf-bash!
