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.

Well if we're doing Bette Davis, how about All About Eve and Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?

And Dark Victory? That one has Bogart in it, too...in a rather bizarre role as an Irish groom. He wasn't very good at the accent...

What the...?

Something tells me you like accents?

I like the era when men in movies were mature - even if they were 20 years old, they looked classy. Then the 'eternal teenager' look came in and spoiled leading men.

Hmmm...I hadn't even thought about it that way! I guess maybe that's part of it?

Charles Boyer was also one of the handsomest actors ever, though.

I miss the suits! And the hats! There's something about a man in a nice suit with a hat...

Yes, the hats!

I have a crush (posthumous) on Hugh Beaumont!

Just a lot of endless talking.

I notice that our little hangout is accounting for quite a bit of the bandwidth used on FR right now, along with a few other "regular" threads. It's an indication that things are quiet right now, thank God, but I expect "serious business" traffic to start up again in a couple of weeks.

This place is like a friendly pub where the cares of the day can either be forgotten, or shared among friends.

Okay, so I know I can't be a conservative and like her, but I thought it was a hoot a few years ago when Whoopi was hosting the Oscars. Elizabeth and Shakespeare in Love were up for Best Picture.

Whoopi came out dressed as Elizabeth I and deadpanned, "I AM the African Queen..."
