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.

Now those'll go nice with my Marsala Steaks and Brandy, and the nice Sonoma Cab my sister sent up. Thankeee ;-}

'Tis this a function or a disfunction??? Any existentialists around to advise? If an elf winds in the woods and no one is there to hear it, did it really happen?
To: Scott from the Left Coast; HairOfTheDog
"Elfwinds in the Woods" would be a great name for a band...
To: Scott from the Left Coast
'Tis this a function or a disfunction???For me, it's a function.
But, perhaps I've said too much...
To: Corin Stormhands; Wneighbor
But Chuck is on tonight so things are bound to get better.
To: SuziQ
We've seen shows about it on those Natural Disaster shows on Discovery or The Learning Channel. It was just brutal! Yes, it was. Afterwards, I took traffic control duty a but away from the worst parts.
To: Corin Stormhands
Kind of unique too...heavy on the woodwinds...those rockin' woodwinds.
To: Overtaxed
don't things always get better AFTER work?
To: Bear_in_RoseBear
Can we get Rose to opine?
To: Wneighbor
traffic control duty a but away a BIT away - okay? BIT
To: Bear_in_RoseBear; Scott from the Left Coast; ksen
But, perhaps I've said too much... Hey ksen, it just might not be a bad idea to check out the ventilation system for the Entmoot theater...
To: Overtaxed
Ben Hur?
To: Corin Stormhands
Oh! Bye the way Corin, I finally got to watch X-Men 1.5 last night. Glen and I really enjoyed it.
I couldn't help but think "GANDALF!" when I first heard Magneto's voice though. I think you'll see what I mean. :)

Yup. And there really is a red sports car in the chariot race.
To: RMDupree
We get X-Men from NetFlix tomorrow.
To: Scott from the Left Coast; Rose in RoseBear; All
Can we get Rose to opine?Probably! But she's at work right now... and I need to be leaving to pick her up. Going to spend an afternoon doing some country driving... Later all!
Baby's just a little bit tired of the city
Billboards and BS got her down
Seems like you need a little hill country
A little backroads driving
little bit of the old top down....

ROTK Spoilers! Saruman, Grima & SAURON News! Xoanon @ 12:31 pm ESTAngelus is not a new spy to us, he/she has sent along information and we KNOW she/he has insider contacts from all over the biz. Take a look at what he has to say, some interesting bits of info that I know some of you will hate to hear. Plus that spikey wheel returns (I cannot WAIT until I prove all you non-spikey wheel people wrong...we posted that story YEARS ago!). Anyways, as always take all this with a grain of salt, but know that this didn't come from a random fanboy....it has cred.I have a friend who told me about Return of the King, first thing, Sauron will be standing off against Aragorn in hand to hand combat.
Men of Gondor surround them both and Legolas shouts "Aragorn!" as a warning, then Aragorn with Anduril in hand rushes the Dark Lord who looked like he was in different armor than when we saw him in the prologue. It is not an even fight and Aragorn is nearly knocked to death as the countdown to the destruction of the ring begins. I guess the goal is to make the audience wonder if the ring will be destroyed before Aragorn is smeared all over Mordor!
Another thing I saw was the death of Saruman. Grima slits Saruman's throat and kicks him over the edge of Orthanc where he is impaled on the wheel, then Legolas shoots an arrow high into the air and is laughed at by Grima as it soars over his head, as Grima is mocking the seemingly inaccurate Legolas the arrow comes spiraling down straight through Grima's skull!
Spoilers in invisible ink, above.
