Eleventh Thread: Wedding Edition: The Hobbit Hole XI - No One Admitted Except on Wedding Business!
New verse:
|
Upon the hearth the fire is red, |
Still round the corner there may wait |
Home is behind, the world ahead, |
I don't smoke.
Ooooh! An honest precious!
The accent didn't hurt neither, of course...
You knew I couldn't resist inserting my own version of nice hair?
"They mean to take us a prize....this ship is England, this ship is home."
Tomorrow is a big day...the Party for the President is tomorrow evening and tomorrow morning is the "20% off Sale" at Mardel's...they sell the Jedis curriculum. I understand it's usually an absolute madhouse, but if you get there before noon, you can sign up for a door prize!
Mmmm! Door prize!

I don't know, I haven't seen it yet. I'm not sure I could take the changes from the story I grew up with.
I was looking at the official movie site and the descriptions of the knights didn't sound like the knights I remembered.
Mmmm- another nice combo of voice/accent, eyes, and hair.
Sounds like the same reasons why I'm not going to see I-Robot.
Rose and I enjoyed it.
As the article indicates, smoking can be bad for one's health!
They really get ya on those teachers editions. Everything else is reasonably priced, though.
Mmm, I was a little concerned about that movie too. I think I need to read those books again.
Yeah...they are big books though...like college type textbooks. The student stuff is what they use to write in...worksheets and such.
Some of the knights are geniune. One is, I think, totally made up, and Tristram isn't usually associated with Arthur, though he sometimes is. The others - Bors, Gawaine, and Galahad - are as close to cannonical as you get in Arthurian legends.
Of course, if you grow up on Thomas Mallory, or T.H. White, the story won't be the one you know at all.
That's what it is then.
I'll probably see it when it comes out on video and I'll try to enjoy it as just a good action/adventure film.
See, I've read the Mallory/White versions, and I've read the semi-historical versions too, and I like the semihistoricals much better. I never liked "The Once and Future King". And I really never liked Lancelot. When I discovered he was a French invention, I knew why!
Gotta go to ethics training. bbl.
Looong download, but EXTREMELY worth it!

That reminds me. Happy Bastille Day
Close enough to 2 not to matter.
I know that link. I can't do it from here...
