The Hobbit Hole IV – The Road Goes Ever On…

Posted on 08/04/2003 9:43:18 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

The Road Goes Ever On…

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.

Our Prof Interloper friend made a good effort and almost got it!

Heh... I was imagining a late guest come running in the door just as the candles were about to be blown out...

Here is the first mention of the notorious "PFFFFFT!"

I had those real "active audiences" on a couple of the viewings... including this last one that included the squealer next to me. Applause at the off-heading, and at the end. At other viewings the audience was silent. I have only had to PFFFFFFT! at one "talker", and he took it seriously and never made another peep. (you should hear my Pfffft! - all dogs and teeanagers obey) - HairOfTheDog 1/28/02

Hoom hom, how should I take that? :-)

No matter how good the movie, sitting down for close to 4 hours for something that is passive (as opposed to, say, an interactive PC game or surfing the Web) is tough for me - let alone the whole family! I didn't get the extended version until we got a DVD player in the Spring. We've watched most of the documentaries, and the entirely new scenes, but not the whole thing.

The great thing about LOTR is I feel like there's no rush, the movie will only improve with time as the acting is so supreme. My biggest disappointment is the fact that I only had the opportunity (mostly due to money) to see TTT ONCE in the theaters. So I'm VERY eager to see that again!

Here is JenB's entrance into the Hobbit Hole...

That's a precious story about your little guy, if you don't mind me jumping into this conversation.

I've only been five times, but one of my sisters has been 8 or 9 times! Of course, she's still being homeschooled so has more free time than I do off at college.

I'm lucky - my Dad was a huge Tolkien fan and so I always had someone to talk to, though I don't suppose my comments, as an 11-year-old, really were that intuitive. Now both my little sisters love LotR, and all my friends are obsessed too! I tell you, it's a great time to be a fan. You think Mr. HobbitholeBoy will give tours if you ask him nicely? - JenB 1/29/02

That's why this Harfoot Hobbit lass just loves her Dwarves.

I was also struck again by the earthiness of both the dwarves and the hobbits in comparison to the elves. From Gimli's anticipation of Morian malt beer, to Sam's lament for Gandalf's fireworks. Quite the contrast to the high borne sentiments of the elves.

Rosie joins the family here.

Oh man...that gets me every time. And then that brief moment when we see their faces as they're carried off...they KNOW there's nothing they can do, and that Boromir is giving his life for them.

Pardon me while I join the tear-fest. Ai! Poignant stuff! - RosieCotton 1/29/02

Just saw the movie again yesterday, for the 6th time! And we're just taking off from Rivendell...my 3rd reading since the movie came out.

Thanks for the ping, ecurbh!

FOTR came out on the 6th

I knew it was in the first week of August cause we were at Perdido Key FL at SSQ's family reunion! We went to Wal-Mart at midnight to get it (and some groceries).
