Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
...Let them pass! Let them pass!
(Note to dwarves, this is only meant figuratively)
New verse:
|
Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by! |
Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well! |
Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed! |

G'nad would be dangerous, but he doesn't have teenage kids yet, he probably still has hang-ups about rifling through people's stuff.

Took one of my sons and a nephew to see Spiderman 2 yesterday. I liked it better than the first one.
Although I would like to hear a little more of Spidey's smack talk during the fight scenes. I seem to remember in the comics that he did that a lot.

Cool! That covers some essential Marvel history.
Just curious, have you ever read the "Marvels" graphic novel, by Kurt Busiek and Alex Ross?

Glad you liked it! I liked this better than the first one, too. I didn't miss the Spidey-chatter, though... what little of it there was in the movies wound up sounding forced, to me. I think it's one of those things that reads ok, but doesn't translate well to film.

Yeah, Spidey's wisecracks are one of the best part of the comics, I wish they'd have more of that in the movies, too, though I can see how it'd be hard to depict in real-time. The one thing he said in this movie that I caught was when Doc Ock threw the cash-bag at him and as Spidey tossed it and caught it back he yelled, "Here's your change!" :)
Here's a classic Spidey smack talk I was reading recently, from issue #19:
Crook #1: It's--it's Spider-Man!
Crook #2: But we thought he was out of action!
Crook #3: Jameson's newspaper has been saying he's a phony--a coward!
Spider-Man: You believe it, boys! [Knocks three of them out with one move] But just imagine what I could do if I *wasn't* a phony coward!

I never knew a middle-aged, chubby, white guy could make such a tough villain. ;^)

"Cool! That covers some essential Marvel history."
There's some classic stuff in that run: Gwen/Goblin, Punisher, Jackal. One of the first Spideys I ever read was the Power Records reprint of #124 with the Man-Wolf so I'm kind of partial to that part of the series.
I never read the "Marvels" graphic novel--what's that about?

LOL! I actually have a hard time getting into Doc Ock as a villain in the comics. I always think to myself, "He doesn't have any super-strength--why doesn't Spidey just web up his glasses and knock him out with one punch?" The way they did him in the movie worked well, though. It was Octopus' threat to other people moreso than to Spider-Man that made him dangerous.

LOL! BTW have you watched "Smallville"? I love the way they do Luthor there.
