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.

The Count is a fabulous movie

It is currently sitting at #2 on my Netflix Queue.

I've heard a lot of criticism of that. But I think it will be great.

I have to laugh at the criticism. It's not like the folks who are going to see the movie don't know the story anyway! We won't NEED the subtitles because we'll KNOW the dialogue.

Well, I know story too, but I am not convinced as to how it will play if there is effectively no dialogue...

We'll see.

Hmmm...another one to add to Netflix...

If you haven't seen Frequency, be sure and get that one, too! It is a great father/son story!

Good morning!

My Rose and I are big fans of Alias, saw the episode last night... it was a little bit mind-blowing! If it gets renewed for next season, I think Sidney's little time-slip will really shake things up!

I didn't like MM at first... But I'm coming around.

And from what I hear, he's a musician too! Likes to play the bongos!

As with anything, it will hinge on personal preference. I can watch an opera in Italian and still appreciate the story. I'm trusting that the music and the images will tell the story.

[sheesh! I've admitted watching Moulin Rouge and opera in the same morning....g'nad? Vim? libarian? Where are you guys?]

I couldn't believe it. I noticed the wedding ring before Sydney said anything. And I'm glad Will is okay. He's right when he said that his life was ruined since he met her.

She has a scar... wonder what Sloan did to her.

So it will play to a niche audience of either the already devout, or those who want to be artsy enough to watch something that is equivalent to going to the opera, but the unwashed masses won't see it. I am just surprised... It might have been time to film a big release telling of the story of Jesus - something on the level of "The Ten Commandments".

Don't make me come over there and kiss you,

Uh...I would not recommend that course of action.

I've got the graphics turned off...nyah!

I fell for MM in one of the Grisham movies.... A Time to Kill. Excellent! - Trust me girls!

Haven't seen that one! I'll look for it...

Seen Jim Caviezel in "Frequency" and "Count of Monte Cristo", both good.

I hadn't considered that! I had assumed the scar was from her fight with Francie's double, before she blacked out.

I guess that leaves three possibilities: 1) Sydney blacked out, went into some altered mental state, and has been running around lost for two years; 2) Sloan (or someone else... her mother?) kidnapped her and has been holding her for some purpose for two years; 3) Someone (Sloan, again?) used the Rambaldi device to time-shift Sydney two years into the future.

I'll be really mad if they don't renew the show!
