The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads!
Posted on 12/17/2002 7:32:02 AM PST by HairOfTheDog
Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Journey to the Cross-roads
The Two Towers Edition
Come on! Come in! -if you would like to have some seedcakes and a pint and relax a while. (If it is a special occasion, we still have a few bottles of the old wineyards left!)
Our first thread ( New Zealander builds Hobbit hole ) reached 4,100 posts, and we thought that was big. Our second thread (The New Hobbit Hole ) held us for over 48,000 posts, and we loved it dearly. We talked about moving to a new thread for the last 38,000 posts, but we are really slow to muster! Finally, the time has come. Tomorrow (at 12:01 am, to be precise!) The Two Towers comes out, and we start a new chapter.

I must sleep. G'nite all.
To: Bear_in_RoseBear
"Sigh! None of the three major female characters appealed to me... although after ROTK I suspect Eowyn will be my favorite!"
Hi, Bear, I like Galadriel lots...actually, I love all of them...saw the movie today with my daughter (who is 20), I was thrilled and incoherent in my joy to see the thing...silly, I guess. Lots of discussion between us afterword, joy!
Up late again, see you guys in the AM, I hope.
To: Sam Cree
afterword = afterwards
clearly up too late.
To: All
zzzzzzz.....snort....huh?.....yawn...I'mup, I'mup.
Guess all the hobbitses were busy last night after I got in. Got some awful news. Daycare where we take the little one burned down last night about 2 hours after closing. Faulty water heater. No one was hurt. The janitor was there and saw the flames. But there is a substantial amount of damage. We're okay 'cause he wasn't going to be there again until after Christmas anyway.
Okay, gotta get to work...see y'all later...
To: Corin Stormhands
Good Morning!
Must be the night for fires. A textile warehouse caught fire in Sanford this morning around 4:00.
Good that no one got hurt!
To: Corin Stormhands
Praises that no one was hurt... so what's the alternate plan for daycare if the place ain't fixed after Christmas?...

And, as if that wasn't bad enough, the dad TALKED THROUGH THE ENTIRE MOVIE!!!!!!! He was continually making comments through the movie...how'd they do Gollum, is that Theoden guy and actor I should recognize, etc. etc. I was so p'od! That kind of thing makes me so angry! I'm sorry your experience was diminished. I know Big'ol and I are going to have to go see it again due to similar circumstances. Perhaps you can use it as justification for another viewing. ;) (as if any of us need excuses...)

And, as if that wasn't bad enough, the dad TALKED THROUGH THE ENTIRE MOVIE!!!!!!! I gotta a solution fer that...

Your review was utterly moving. Thank you for sharing your thoughts....
To: g'nad
Only a little knife? Where's the axe?!?
To: Lil'freeper; Corin Stormhands; rightwingreligiousfanatic; ksen; HairOfTheDog
Fits in yer pocket, easy to use in a crowded theater... some jobs call for an axe, but there'll always be knife work to do...

Good Morning!
G'nad, have you seen It yet?
To: ksen
I'm gonna try and see it this weekend, but I barely got room to breath before Christmas...
Have to practice our duet for Sunday this evening... I need to practice a new harmony for O Holy Night that Mizz Baker wrote for me... she thinks I'm a baritone... I can hit the high notes, but it makes my eyes water....

Good morning g'nad! Even though it is 6:00 I am not committed to being up, I had to get up to tend ponies, but.... Yes, I am gonna go back to bed. I have a late night in Seattle tonight, our company Christmas party. The last thing I want to do, really.

I'm curious if anyone is up for a Freep.
It seems that there is a Freeper who is his getting jollies out of anonymously flooding the keyword sections of various TTT threads with garbage and insults about those who enjoy the LoTR stories and movies. It is an abuse of the keyword function and beneath the standard of discourse found on FreeRepublic.
Now, I can handle a little name calling in good fun and spirited debate as can, I presume, most Freepers and HHers. However, if you peruse the threads in question you'll see that the insults being hurled are particularly infantile and do not go to the content of the article or a posters opinion. Here are some examples:
ACNE; ACTIONFIGURES; ALLFULLOFHIMSELF; ANONYMOUS; ASTHMA; AVCLUB; BLOWUPDOLLS; CHESSCLUB; COMICBOOKCOLLECTORS; COSTUMES; DIDNTREADTHEBOOKS; DOESNTKNOWTOLKIEN; DORKALERT; EXCUSEDFROMPEFORLIFE; FAIRYTAILS; FIRSTKISSEDBYSISTER; FREEKS; GEEKSUNITE; GORE; HEADGEAR; HIGHWATERPANTS; HYGENEISSUES; INHAILER; ITSALLABOUTME; LAZYEYE; LOTR; MAKEBELIEVE; MOREHOMEWORKPLEASE; NOONEUNDERSTANDSME; PREPUBESCENT; REJECTS; RENAISSANCEFESTIVALS; SCA; SKINCONDITION; SPAZES; SPELLINGBEECHAMPS; STEALMYMILKMONEY; STUPIDFORALIVING; THE TWO TOWERS; THICKGLASSES; TOLKEIN; TOLKIEN; TOOKMOMTOPROM; TWO TOWERS; UBERDWEEBS; UNCOORDINATED;
You'll see pretty much the same keywords on each thread suggesting to me that a single person is involved. I would ask that HHers hit the abuse link on each of these threads and ask the admin to
1) Clean up the keywords.
2) Suspend the posting privledges of the culprit.
3) Reveal the identity of the culprit.
Here are the threads:
The Two Towers; One Freepers Review
Two Towers Review: Moriarity from Aintitcoolnews.com
LORD OF THE RINGS: THE TWO TOWERS / *** (PG-13)
The Ring Strikes Back (Two Towers Review)
