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.

3. Gimli eating in Edoras.....that's g'nad! 4. Gimli axing orcs.....that's g'nad Gimli hopping up and down trying to see over the wall... is that g'nad, too?

Dont' forget the chainmail dress... "It's a little tight in the chest..."
To: 2Jedismom
"Didn't you just love it that Gandalf charged at the orcs while they had the rising sun in their eyes??"
I kind of got a kick out of that because I ended up attending the show with a co-worker who only managed to get to see The Outlaw Josey Wales for the first time this week. We had talked about the scenes where Josey has to have that edge. Seems Clint/Josey and Gandalf have something in common.

2. Is 2JM satisfied with the way Merry's gash looks?LOL Oh, I see! Yes, I was most satisfied. This picture always breaks my heart. Merry looks like he is resigning himself to dying.

Gimli hopping up and down trying to see over the wall... is that g'nad, too? I thought you had to be taller than that to be a Marine.
To: HairOfTheDog
Well my brother changed his mind and wanted to see it tonight instead, so I went and traded our tickets in. Only a couple more hours! Twice in one day - never did that last year!

"Sean Astin is going to be on Leno tomorrow night.Man, I hope he behaves himself...'course I don't watch tv, so I won't see it, still, I will probably hear what he says here.
To: Overtaxed
Let's hope so! The wide shots of the fair heroes on the wall before the battle, Aragorn, Legolas, top-of-a-helmet, were just embarassing. Give him a box to stand on already.
To: ecurbh
Good! - Couple hours from now then? - My show is at 8:00. If yours is at 9:00, we can watch it together!
To: Lil'freeper
Whoodathunk I'd feel embarassed for a dwarf. What an amazing movie.
To: Sam Cree
I don't worry about Sean or Elijah speaking in public. They are pretty grounded folk. They don't say anything outlandish.
To: 2Jedismom
Oh yeah.....and I always thought Treebeard had more canopy.
To: HairOfTheDog
I'm logging off for a while. See you all later, maybe. Enjoy the show!
To: HairOfTheDog
Okay, I'm awake and alert with no work for 2 weeks. Could you give me this map to the FR Hobbit Hole on YaHoo?
To: Lil'freeper
"the mob of poorly behaved, unattended teenagers who sat behind us"
I think I will try for a matinee, when there won't be so many of them, I hope. But, your review has got me psyched, thank you. Got to check with my wife and daughter (20, home from college day before yesterday) if we can go tomorrow or Friday.
I liked PJ's Galadriel in FOTR, so won't mind seeing more of her.
To: Wneighbor
You've got Freepmail!

"They are pretty grounded folk"
Yes, you are probably right, I think...if not, I will just have to rationalize that it's OK because they are clearly nice people.

Did the men fighting for Sauron (Easterlings? My memory isn't the greatest right now) look a bit Moorish to you?
To: HairOfTheDog
Maybe they all get their maps at Tolkien Town!
C'mon down to Tolkien Town!
To: HairOfTheDog
Cool! Shall I call you on my cell phone as we watch? ;-)
