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.

it is 3 hours and 40 minutes long! A real epic... (bring a porta potty ;^))

Our local theater posts "G & G" as 4 hrs. running time with a 12 minute intermission (are you listening, PJ?)

The doughy amalgam of oratory and quasi-symphonic bombast that makes heavy-handed use of a chorus produces the sinking sense of being trapped at an endless memorial service

The way I feel reading this piece of tripe... Suzi, you shouldn't have.... Now I feel compelled to spam a favorable review...

"he comes across as a bully and a religious fanatic prating endlessly about "God's will." "

Yeah, don't you just hate it when people prat on and on about God? The nerve.

This reviewer is a joke.

Wierd Al Yankovic singing:

"I'd rather clean all the bathrooms in Grand Central Station with my tongue than spend one more minute with you."

It's a guy singing in a really romantic and deep voice "I'd rather clean all the bathrooms in Grand Central Station, with my tongue, than spend one more minute with you."

"We are truly "sleepwalking through history." In my heart of hearts I pray that this great nation and its good and trusting citizens are not in for a rudest of awakenings."

What a twerp Robert Byrd is. The reason the Senate has not mentioned the war is because his own party has been conducting a filibuster because of their opposition to a judicial appointee. They'd rather protect the vaunted 'right to an abortion' than deal with matters which are of concern to the National Security of the US!

I got a couple of responses...one other person at least isn't happy. Note I didn't even mention the email, but he knew just what I was talking about.

I wonder why they thought this story had anything to do with their camp?
