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.

Good for you. And know, He does not give us more than we can bear. I'll say some prayers too for you and your family.

I wish they'd catch OBL. I can't stand this rollercoaster ride. Do you think they are close?

Those are fabulous. And Sean Connery and Leo DiCaprio would have made a decent Gandalf and Legolas. But only Wood could have played Frodo. He's the one actor who could carry the one-ring role, uh, something. :)

And if Jackson had tried for those guys the budget would have blown through the roof I'm sure. Much as I can't stand Julia Roberts, she might have been an improvement over Liv.

HA! - You *like* the ideas?

I like Liv Tyler in the role, and I actually don't hate Julia Roberts in roles. I have liked a lot of them. It is only when she has to write her own conversation that she loses her appeal.

And I will forget what you said about DiCaprio being as good as Orlando Bloom!

Man, those are good! Did Registered give that guy lessons?

Anyway, I don't think any of them are an improvement over the guys and gal we have all come to know and love. ;^)

BTW, I don't think even PJ would have given Elrond glasses.

Heh.... Yes there is something distinctly un-elvish about needing glasses.

Yeah, I don't know how they do it. Amazing!

It's my cousin Max. 22 years old and has been diagnosed with cancer.

I'm so sorry Ruthy. Cancer sucks. I was fortunate that mine was caught early.

We'll pray for Max.

Thanks for making me laugh, Corin!

Laughter helped me get through my surgery and treatment. It's a rare gift that I know God has given me. I can find, and make fun of, the absurdity in any situation.

Not long after my treatment, a guy in my office said "I lost one of my best friends to cancer." Without missing a beat I said, "So did I."

(you have to remember the type of cancer I had to get that one...)

Be careful Hair! We don't know who else might be watching! (My niece and daughter would never forgive me) I said they would have been - OK. (Cough Cough backtrack) :)

I liked Roberts in The Mexican, but that was all I could stand of her. That big mouth on the big screen is more than I can stand.

Well, I liked her in Steel Magnolias, a favorite movie of mine that I watch in the closet. and The Pelican Brief. And I liked Pretty Woman OK.

I'd be barfing my guts out if they had cast that DiCaprio brat as Legolas.

I think they're close if they haven't got him already. Seems like there is a lot of misinformation flying around but then, what do I know? :)
