The New Hobbit Hole

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

One of the signers of the petition, apparently one of the supporters of the originators, has a signature up which swears at everyone else for ruining the petition, and says that 'he has heard' that 'New Line Cinema' is going to change the name of the movie. I trust that this is nonsense. I get the idea from the actual petition statement that they don't know that the movie is based on a book. What idiots!!

Not like the Uruk-hai I got rid of yesterday (reminiscing).

Unbelievable how stupid people can be. Just astoundingly stupid.

Yeah - the guy is not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

He would not be nearly a worthy enough adversary for a skilled orc-cleaver such as yourself. Obviously not aware that the movies are based on books written long ago. I loved the one in there that said "I don't know who this Tolkien guy is, but he sure is an a$$-hole!" jeepers. Sure, they hid all the email addresses because of some virus... I believe you, uh huh. He has not responded to my email btw. I have a feeling he has received a thousand of the things. Which kinda makes me wonder why he doesn't close it out. Who is actually taking the time to pull all the disruptive remarks? - And makes me wonder why petitions.com doesn't pull it. I doubt they are in the habit of making statements that tend to weaken the petitions they are hosting... yet they don't pull it. hmmmm.

I just went over there, I had to stop at "when I learned there was going to be a sequel..."

I think we should take up a collection and by these people a clue.

I've found another copy (sort of) for The Two Towers trailer. It's edited down to 3.44 MB (1:22 minutes)and the picture is smaller but it doesn't flicker and the color is better. I wish they'd put it on the official site! Grrrrr.

I was finally able to try and download from this site, and it was down. Rats.

The full 20 MB version is at ecurbh's trailer page.... or are you not wanting that one because it is too big?

I was hoping to not have to download such a large file. I finally have a 56.6 modem connection, but I think it will still take forever. My computer has WinMX on it, leftover from my sisters, and I am downloading the 20 meg version now. It has been about 20 minutes and I am 5% done. I am going to let it run tonight and see where I am in the morning before I go to work.

Good luck with it!

[HairOfTheDog]

OK Goodnight everybody!

Found a different night-light for tonight, in case any hobbits go sleep-walking. Maybe this one won't scare everybody!

See everybody in the morning!

Well Clinton had well over 50% job approval. Just remember, there are as many people around with IQ's under 80 as there are with IQ's over 120. (Just a rough measure, not looking to start arguing over the acccuracy of IQ testing)

Sourcery posted a funny thread the other day which I am looking for. I can't recall the name but it was something along the line of "What would Fellowship of the Ring be called if so-and-so had produced it?" Can anyone help me out here?

[k2blader]

Hurrah! Thank ye and ecurbh for the link to "The Two Towers" preview! Am downloading it now--will take about 7 long minutes with cable. :-D

*puts up feet and grabs a plate of seedcakes...*

I am going to start a petition about the 3rd movie title "The Return of the King" for all of the Elvis fans out there. :>)

You should be subscribing to the "Hobbit Hole" topic on your sidebars! Look here

Re the shortened version of the trailer:

It really was edited down. All the narrated parts are cut out and the arming of Theoden is out (along with a bunch of other stuff>. Pippin and Treebeard are in and the part where Gandalf meets Aragor, Gimli, and Legolas.

[Overtaxed]

"Aragorn" of course! :)

Good (Friday) Morning everyone!

Good morning everyone!

AARRGGHH!! I woke up this morning to only 6.5MB of trailer downloaded. Sometime during the night the connection cut out. ;^(

I am going to try again tonight, hopefully the download will just continue from where it left off if I pick one with the exact same title and amount of MB's. Next time I will get it from someone who has a cable/DSL connection instead of a 56.6k connection (like me), so that their computer will not shut off in the night.

Hehehe...Guess there's nothing quite like being attacked by an angry hobbit mob!

Better night light. :)

Try looking for "Crouching Gollum Hidden Balrog".
