Ring Ping!
Want to ping the list?
Maybe you've heard this already, but there's bound to be some Freeper-ringers who have yet to see it.
Either way, there's a lack of LOTR articles thesedays...

Hey MAQ~!
Pinging some of the ringers!

-and suddenly Gimli is swearing in Dwarvish...
Cool, the dwarves in the Hobbit Hole will like that!
-The opening narration by Cate Blanchett is still there, but it later cuts to a scene with Bilbo writing in his book about Hobbits, the details and whatnots on what makes hobbits tick.
-This scene is interwoven into the Gandalf/Frodo cart scene. With an addition on how Frodo thinks Bilbo has been acting strange lately..locked up in his writing room.
Very Super cool!
The rest is cool too! - Still reading!
To: HairOfTheDog
Great. More Haldir. :)

Hey - Doesn't this sound great? - Like a whole new movie with new stuff here and there throughout!
I think every addition sounds cool, but I resisted the temptation to copy every paragraph and exclaim Very Super cool! after it!
To: BibChr
Dan, haven't talked to you in awhile...
How are you? - Isn't this cool?
To: HairOfTheDog
Cut to Boromir's death scene..after he takes his last breath Aragorn mentions a few words about his people looking for him in the White City...but he will not be there. Methinks that sounds like an emotional moment.
To: maquiladora
[sigh] Do I think I can take any more emotion at that scene?!
To: HairOfTheDog
How do they know how Dwarvish swearing sounds like? The only Dwarvish we have besides place names is 'Baruk Khazâd! Khazâd aimênu!' ('Axes of the Dwarves! The Dwarves are upon you!).
To: maquiladora
One of the "holes" in the story that I am looking forward to filling is I think covered in the new talk Gandalf and Frodo have at Caradhras... We saw it in the preview on the DVD. Gandalf is warning Frodo about the evil that may be coming from within the company. Friends that I have talked to who are not readers of the book don't "get" why Frodo had to leave the Fellowship at the end. They don't realize, without the book, that Frodo feared that the ring would ruin all of them eventually, that Boromir was just the first to fall. This might help them, if Gandalf says what I think he is going to say there.
To: HairOfTheDog
Yep, I know what you mean....
It could be a tearjerker.
To: Overtaxed
I think I can picture dwarvish swearing! Perhaps he could just say 'Baruk Khazâd! Khazâd aimênu!' - I'd buy it.
To: HairOfTheDog
Thats a great point, but it's a shame that fewer people will get to see this version of the movie.
By the way, have you seen these bits and bobs?:
To: maquiladora
[GASP!] The Legolas is um... marvelous! stunning! - No I had not seen that one!
I saw that Aragorn last week. The orc he is fighting is riding a warg!... I didn't know they were gonna try to do wargs!
To: NewCenturions
Legolas pic ping!
To: HairOfTheDog
A warg?
A-ha! I didn't even notice that before now!
To: maquiladora
That'll be something wont it?
To: maquiladora
As long as we are posting TTT stuff... Here is a good one!
I love a man who loves his horse!
And this is Smeagol and Deagol in the boat.
