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.

Sorry to hear about your Grandaddy, Dawntreader. I never knew either of mine, so I'm sure, expected or not, it must have been hard. Prayers coming your way.

Very Nice! It is interesting to see what others see of these characters and what they think they will do when their adventures are done. Keep us posted on more, as you write.

A couple of mistresses would be cheaper.

LO!L! OUr #2 son and our daughter are really in to Japanese Anime. At Christmas he told me about a messenger bag he'd seen somewhere which read " Anime:Crack is Cheaper!" I thought that was hilarious!

I recently did this thing called "National Writer's Month" in November (NANOWRIMO, if you've ever heard of it...)

LOL! Several of the Hobbit Hole Dwellers participated in it also!

ACK! That long? LOL

I've been racking my brain trying to figure out when TTT trailer was added to the end of FOTR. I don't remember when that was! Was that in March? I thought it was sooner than that....

I think it was the last week in March....

My bootleg copy of it was found soon after, and it is dated 4/1/2002

Yes, our mutual friend was a bit disappointed that someone beat her to the punch! Some are really good quality, but some appear to be from a lesser copy... There must be a few different versions of bootlegs out there already!

Yes! The 29th of March, 2002 was when TTT preview came on at the end of FOTR. I hope they do the same thing this time!!!

Here is where we are discussing it...I was slightly hysterical and could have used my medicine, but didn't know about such things until NewCenturians told me about it!

Hullo! I am home from work. Dad got the car fixed so it doesn't squeak, I am going to the movie tomorrow with friends, and I have written down a brief skeletal outline for the first part of my story.

It was a weird day at work. We decided we needed a tool, developed it, and got it working this afternoon. That was fun. On the other hand we keep getting annoyed by stupid customers...

You're probably right. I wouldn't know anything about that, though. I wonder where people get these bootlegs.

I did see it! - Thanks for posting it though fro everyone else! - I think it is really neat to see Andy and Gollum side by side like that! - The more of that I see, the more I can appreciate Andy's performance!
