The New Hobbit Hole

Kinda silly? It was ridiculous!

Just think how it would have looked if Yoda was still a puppet, right. Sure glad I am not going. I hear that the fight with Christopher Lee looked just like the LOTR Wizard duel too.

[JenB]

Um, well, somewhat. It had lightsabers and not as many body-slams. At least that fight fit the story better than the wizards' duel fit LotR.

I don't know.... it was worth five bucks, I'd say. Won't go again unless someone else is paying, but I didn't hate it. It was just disappointing - yet much better than TPM.

Actually, what was really similar was Christopher Lee trying to get Obi Wan to join him...not only the line, "join me, Obi Wan," but just the way the scene played with Christopher Lee trying to persuade Obi Wan to join his cause.

[Penny1]

What I really can't understand, though, is the many, many fans, many of them even LOTR fans, who think this movie was just terrific. I'm thinking, "did they see the same movie I did?"

[JenB]

Uhhh... no, they have Star-Wars-colored glasses on. Remember how long it took them to admit that Phantom Menace stunk? This one is so much better than Phantom Menace, they may never concede that it really isn't good.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Well, so long as PJ doesn't have someone talk about the Ring as representing the 'Dark Side' of something, I guess I can stand it.

I am taking off now, a fairly well established freeper has enlisted in the Cynthia McKinney brigade, and allowed as how he thinks that the administration may have PLANNED 9/11, and I am campaigning to get him banned.

[JenB]

Can I help? That's despicable. You shouldn't be the only Hobbit fighting the good fight.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Can I help?

The thread is rather quiet now, this is the location:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/685351/posts?page=23#23 . He weasel worded a little, but the meaning is clear. The moderators seem to be letting him go on for some reason.

[JenB]

That's just evil. Someone did ping the big guys, right?

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Yep, as I say, they are looking, but not striking for some reason. I offerred to help yank the rope, once the noose is in place, but they haven't called yet, and I guess they can handle it. They are busy having some fun on the 'Suggestions for the moderators' thread though.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

That's just evil.

Sauron lurks all around FR, if you know where to look. I am afraid that I have gotten pretty good at finding him.

[JenB]

Actually there really is a "SauronofMordor" floating around, not to mention "ServantoftheNine". One of them is weird and the other isn't but I don't remember which is which.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

I guess it is according to taste, but the second one was one of the orcs who followed me back here and attacked several of us, including HOTD, if you remember. The guy who made the objectionable post hasn't posted for nearly four hours, so is probably away somewhere, perhaps getting sober.

[JenB]

Or getting drunk in preparation for his lynching, later tonight.... That's an odd thread there. Strange what sort of stuff you can run into on a site like this, lurking in the shadows.

[Corin Stormhands]

I'm not lurking in the shadows, I just go here...(but I checked out that link...yick)

[Corin Stormhands]

I just "got" here too...

Where's Kevin?

[JenB]

Sorry if you thought I was implying that you were one of the lurking dark lords!

[Corin Stormhands]

No, I knew you didn't mean me. But I do get that on the "other" threads. ;-)

[Corin Stormhands]

Okay, I can't stand it. Is this mine for the taking?
