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.

Thanks. I've been on the Ring ping list for several months and rarely posted but I sure enjoyed lurking!

As for Serkis, it looks like the jury's still out. My guess is Gollum will get the CGI award and they'll give Serkis a special award but not the Best Supporting Actor. And I'm gonna be real mad when PJ doesn't get Best Director because I don't think they'll choose him. And I'm not holding my breath for TTT for Best Movie either. Bracing myself for another frustrating Oscars winners list.

Okay, I remember now. I don't know what happened to that scene or where it came from. She wasn't in her Dernhelm disquise, was she.

Oh, man!

I am sooooo glad they didn't leave Sam thinking Frodo is dead at the end. Having to wait for him to know things aren't QUITE so bad for a whole year!

I'll have to go back and watch the trailer again. Did they cut away from the orc or was he in the same place as Eowyn?

Can you imagine waiting to find out what happened when the books first came out? 2JM would have been a real tea-addict!

I don't know if the orc was really there, or it was just two scenes stuck together...I could never tell!!

Right...in the trailer. It looked like an orc was sneaking up on Eowyn to me...but it could have been two different scenes stuck close together.

Wonder if they go back to Edoras and find orcs there.

I'll have to go back and watch all my trailers again. :)

Right...so do I, because I'll bet there are things in them that are not in TTT...so they are either in the Extended or in ROTK...

I really wish they could have the Extended come out at the same time as the theatrical version this time around! I hate waiting!

I feel terrible. The vertigo is no big deal...it's kinda fun, walking and wondering where your foot is going to land. But the accompanying nausea is awful.
