The New Hobbit Hole

[2Jedismom]

Well, it just let's you wrap your heart a bit more around these characters that we have loved for years in the books...then for months in the movie...

I love the extended release! I would donate my original copy to the library, except I want to keep my extra disk...

I have never been afraid that Arwen was going to be Xena (who I like by the way... yes, I admit it...). My concern is that she will be forced where she doesn't belong.

I have two things going for me... PJ is translating the book to the screen beautifully, and Liv Tyler is a gifted actress who loves her character. I trust them both.

I don't like seed cake. Can I have chocolate cake instead?

I've seen the movie more... so that is probably my over riding impressions

That is exactly what I am talking about. The movie tends to drown out the book to a varying extent, depending upon how recently you have read it and how firmly fixed you are able to keep it in mind as you watch.

Yes... And I love the whole Lothlorien scenes now. Gimli giving Haldor (I know I didn't spell it right) grief about courtesy then utter some kind of curse in dwarvish. Aragorn was priceless when he tells Gimli that what ever he said wasn't courteous.

Like the dwarf!

And for the first time, I like Galadriel. I never liked her in the book. But, I like her now.

Man, I'm so glad we have this cut.

"I was under the errant impression that NewCenturions was a fella"

LOL! Well, my brother picked the screen name (we originally signed up as a 'group' but I wake up the earliest so I kind of took over). Maybe in my next screen life, I'll sign on as "Girlie Girl". I don't usually ask people to hold my hand either...it was just to be a crutch whilst I wait for the new dvd. Sorry for the mix up!

It was NC that gave us the term "Fetch my Medicine!"

And for the first time, I like Galadriel. I never liked her in the book. But, I like her now

I am like Gimli, now. I will defend her honor to the uttermost ends of heaven and earth, life or death....that smile...... that smile....

[Overtaxed]

You dwarves....:)

[rightwingreligiousfanatic]

she touched me.... she smiled that way at me.....

*swoon*

fetch my medicine!

[ksen]

Brother Dwarf, you are in danger of becoming an Elf-friend.....

[ksen]

Did you hear PJ say that the Evenstar will play a role in TTT and RoTK?

[HairOfTheDog]

Brother Dwarf, you are in danger of becoming an Elf-friend.....

And I respect him for that ;~D

[rightwingreligiousfanatic]

I am a Galadriel friend. But Haldir? Never.... Galadriel overcame her snootiness, and she smiled.... at me!

Oh joy! Oh delight! I need nothing more...

[g'nad]

obviously, you've never seen her PMSing...

[ksen]

Rosie hasn't posted since Monday. Should we be getting ready to send out a search party?

[carton253]

g'nad...

Are you sure you want to go there in front of all us wimmen...

[rightwingreligiousfanatic]

All is forgiven. She got over that, and she was able to smile that way....at me of all people!

You haven't seen it yet, g'nad. Prepare for bewitchment beyond resistance.....

[ksen]

At least with the added scenes it will make more sense to people when Gimli wants to take Eomer's head off for dissin' his babe.

[carton253]

If that scene is in the TTT...

[rightwingreligiousfanatic]

Now I really can't wait for TTT! Man, bring it on! If 30 minutes of sprinkled in extensions helps to "flesh it out" for us this much, just think what another 2 and a half hours (plus?) will do!
