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.

Hey OBM! Glad you're back all safe and tickless. That part of your job about keeping eyes peeled for rare and exotic plants sounds wonderful. Wish my job let me do that. I just have to try to look fast as I whiz by places on the bike.

Although did find a wonderful unusual shaped growth of prickley pear on a farm road this afternoon. Didn't have my camera with me though so just had to enjoy it while it was there.

I don't have a WHOLE lot on it, except for some pictures taken from the trailer...I can direct you to the website I have "pilfered" them from...totally devoted to Billy Boyd (of course!! LOL)...I think the trailer came out recently, but I cant remember which film...and there was some word of a review of it...

here's a bit that some fellow fans posted on the Khazad-dum thread...

There is a review posted on countingdown.com written by someone in Aurora, CO who says he saw a sneak preview of M&C. Now his English is bad as well as his spelling and he called the film "The Far Side of the Ocean" but he loved it. He barely mentions Billy: "I didn?t know anyone else in the movie except one of the other hobbits from LOR steer the boat."

That's about all I know though...

Great! that sounds better than trying to parse out what goes on in Corin's head..... beloved though he is....

Tell you what though..... give me 15 minutes.... it is 95 degrees and I want another shower, something cold from next door and a snack.... then I will be ready for the duration.

2nd phone call. And not IMing - he doesn't having internet at home. He stuck around after work for a bit and I was just getting on AIM at home...so we chatted for awhile.

Not sure about the twittery part. Taking it slow. But it HAS been fun. It takes a long time to really get to know someone, though, especially this way.

Well, you know, it should take some time to get to know someone. But, I'm glad it's fun.
