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.

Hey Wn!!! How's tricks?

I'm not sure, but I think I may have to check and see if Corin and g'nad are too busy to defend my honor about now.

Perfect. But that's step five or so. Let's not get ahead of ourselves...

I think I may need the whole durn Kleenex box!

It's ok man...it's ok. So long as after we're done crying, we go out and shoot guns, eat steak, and drink scotch...balance will come to the universe.

I just watched it for the first time.

Faramir and Sam both have me twittery.

You're right, though. This is NOT going to be a lighthearted movie, not most of it, anyhow. Ouch.

Did you find that? Or did you make that?

Please don't tell me you just had it lying around the house. I will have to worry.

Or, maybe I'm just reading way too much into things....

Not at all, we ~love~ that!

You have made me think more about that line, and it is chilling. Thanks. We are all gonna be emotional come December, if I am any kind of predictor.

It's a shame ya'll think you gotta waste a bunch of kleenexes just to have an excuse to shoot guns, eat steak and drink scotch. Really, you don't have to bawl first.

Poor little Pippin...he's forced to mature so much over the course of the story! And he takes it all in stride. I love him for it.

The shots of Merry and Pippin in armor are getting me really excited. I can't wait to see their part of things in the next movie!

Yes! I agree. But, haven't we done a wonderful job? And I deserve ice cream after my salad I think. (all the extra work you know.)

Defend your honor? Hmm... [he said, pensively] Damsels are those that depend on the swords of others, while wenches on the other hand just pick up the hand-and-a-half and commence to loppin' heads.

Eowyn, for example. No damsel, she. :-)
