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 was thinking of the bit between Denethor and Faramir before Gandalf arrives.

Yep.... same scenes, rearranged to run a little longer each place.

How's it going?

Hmm, have been better, have been worse. Sorry you had to draw a hippie. How's it going otherwise?

As I recall, Gandalf gets to Minas Tirith before Faramir does. Is PJ changing that?

I tend to agree with Hair, although I am willing to hold out until the EE version comes out. I had fewer problems with the scene changes than I did with switches in characterizations and the Indiana Jones moment Jackson put in for Viggo. While it did get to be rather annoying that we had such choppy cuts of Fanghorn strewn in among the other story lines, I would give TTT a B+...

hows it goin everyone?

I would have run most of the story with the ents before the battle started at Helm's Deep... Let the ent dialogue happen while the hunters are dealing with healing Theoden and the evacuation of Edoras... so that the ents storm Isenguard at the same moment the battle begins at Helm's Deep. Then the pacing would work for me better.

when you got tired of one part of the movie, it changed for you for awhile.

Exactly. Like the remote...

The hippy might have been glazed to begin with.

There was a female model a couple months ago we had, that fell asleep during her pose, began snoring, tossing and turning. Difficult to draw.

Well good night all, am pretty tired.
