Honestly, I was gonna start the new thread as soon as there is something of a clamour for it with enough fire and desire to get good discussion going... Participation in it had gotten fairly compulsory for me, and not as fun, free flowing and thought provoking as it was when we were discussing it more spontaneously before the thread started.
What do we do about it? I had even thought of starting Two Towers weekly posts as part of the New Hobbit Hole instead of seperate from it.... Kind of like the "Captains Log" for the week... and let our regular conversation drift in and out of it as we go... It was a thought that was floating around when we were talking about a new thread anyway.
I know there are a lot of lurkers in the Green Dragon, but I felt, except for you die-hards, I was posting in a vacuum. My posts were becoming uninspired... and the variety of opinions and variety of people had dwindled to about four of us... Four of us that I love, but I can talk to you guys here...
Well, that is the rambling thought on it. I need inspiration to start it again and have it be good.
After yesterday's trailer posting, interest in the Two Towers seems to have picked up (or was that just a one day happening?) I was thinking that doing the Two Towers thing while anticipating the next movie's release would be fun...discussing the book and speculating on the movie. Now if New Line would only co-operate by releasing the old trailer, new trailers, pictures....
If it's just going to be mostly we hole dwellers, we might as well keep it on this thread. It's hard to judge lurker interest as long as lurkers...well...lurk.
Well, if you ever start taking a vote I like your idea above. Keeping everything over in the Hobbit Hole would be much more tidy and probably give rise to more participation then if stuff were spread out among multiple threads.
