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.

Went to see "Gods and Generals" yesterday with my wife and 23 year old son.
We liked it alot, found it very moving. 'Course I enjoyed seeing an inspiring movie with Virginians as heroes. I was a little intimidated about its length before walking into the theatre, but that turned out to not be a problem, it moved along nicely, kept my attention easily at all times.
It has some faults, tho to me they are minor compared to its good points, g'nad is right, the cgi is way below the standards we are all used to (LOTR). Plus, I was not too convinced by the "Virginia" accents, though I understand they spent quite a bit of time trying to get those right, they even considered how they might have sounded back then. Robert Duvall did best on that, IMO.
There were some really ferocious characters in this movie, was great watching them. On the whole, I liked the casting.
Anyway, although it is not at all as well made as the LOTR movies (They didn't pull out all the stops as PJ did, still they pulled out alot of them), it is very good, I found it to be a very inspiring, interesting and worthwhile movie. I highly recommend it. My wife didn't want to see it, was not interested, but came anyway. She surprised herself by loving it.
It really made me a little homesick seeing all the Virginia countryside, filmed on location there, also in W VA and Md.

Hey! People here play UT? I love that game. I'm out of practice though because I don't play it that much. Are you talking GOTY edition or UT2003? My comp isn't upgraded enough to handle 2003, but I have GOTY edition.
To: HairOfTheDog
Those are great 'alternate' characters, Hair. Though Viggo looks scruffy as Aragorn, Russell Crowe looks like he's been 'rode hard and put up wet'!

Sorry to hear about your loss Corin. I'll keep you all in my prayers. I am bad! But LMAO, because rather than Corin's cousin, which is very sad, I thought DT was talking about the 'friend' he lost! Poor DT.... she is 500 posts behind.
To: HairOfTheDog
He is such a cutie :-D
I believe I saw Dom sitting at their table...
And of course Sean was there as he introduced the TTT clip.
To: Dawntreader
Yeah - I play UT! - so does Ramius sometimes! - GOTY? I don't know what that means, but I don't have 2003!

"Whenever you guys get your hands on the VeggieTales Jonah DVD make sure you listen to the audio commentary by Larry and Mr. Lunt. "How funny! I can't wait until I finally buy that movie!
To: RMDupree
I've added your cousin to my prayer list.
To: HairOfTheDog
what I can't find is the listing on the menu Hmmm....does your cable company have a website with all that stuff on it? TCM's website is http://www.turnerclassicmovies.com. Maybe you could find it from there.

I'll be seeing G&G for the third time this weekend with my father, who hasn't seen it yet. I absolutely loved it.
