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.

I thought the jaw looked wrong for Theoden!

I think you're right, it is Merry! Perhaps that's sometime after the confrontation with the Witch King, in which case it's ok for Gandalf to be there...

After spending time here at FR and learning about the different "factions" inside the RCC, and knowing myself, if I were a Catholic I'd probably be part of the SSPX.

Cool placeholder ping. Got the trailer. Lovin' it.

We'll have to chat about the tickets. I've got mucho United miles to burn up before they go OB.

Talk to you later.

Look at the jaw and the shape of the chin...

Does anyone have a quick pic of Merry for comparison?

What spefic thing makes you think so?

No beard and a dimpled chin. And the face just looks like Merry's face.

Thing is though..... even if it is Merry..... It might not be Dominic Monahan except in close ups.... they'd be using his size double.

That's his chin, all right.

But I just noticed Dernhelm's arm doesn't look broken...

Oh, and trust me.

Remember when we first got ahold of the TTT trailer that was put at the end of FOTR? I pointed out that it was Haldir on the wall at Helm's Deep. It took you guys a while to see the light there too. ;^)

I just noticed that "Dernhelm" is wearing what appears to be a Lothlorien brooch and cloak, and that doesn't make any sense at all.... Are we sure we know what we are looking at?

Could it be Pippin holding Merry?

The size comparison looks right for that too!

I'm still here folks and it appears to me that Pippin is holding Merry.

That isn't Durnhelm at all! Look at the face!!
