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.

Always remember, Scotto, Bilbo was meant to find the ring.

You see correctly! If it is Ian McKellan, I can understand it. This is what the first few strides at the trot looks like until a beginning rider "catches up" to his horse. If it is his riding double, that person is very ashamed this picture ever leaked out.

Can't figure out whether I hope they are insulted by this.

ROFL! What a line, Sam. You are a gem! And thanks for your earlier support...

Karl Urban is a good looker. Unlike Viggo, he is better lookin' out of LoTR costume. Eomer didn't "do" much for me. But this guy could eat crackers if he wants (if you know what I mean)

Oh my, that's a great picture! I really thought he looked great as Eomer though! But yes you are right...unlike Viggo, he still looks good "normally"!

I love his eyes.

I think I like him better as Eomer. But he's not bad as himself, either.

It is probably at the edge of Fangorn.... The place they went where Gandalf called to Shadowfax very well could have been the same spot as the orc battle.

After all, they had to return there to get Aragorn and Legolas's horses, who reappeared. They didn't take them in the woods, so I think they must have just put Arod and Hasufel in a "sit-stay" while they went in the woods.

I've got it!

We storm the gates of Tolkien Town, overthrow the elvish overseers, set them to work in the factory making all the stuff, take it over and run it like a proper business. We'll make a fortune! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!< /greedy dwarf thinking >

He's one that looks good either way! Though I wish he could have used his real accent in the movie...I love that.

I am of the opinion that Dwarves already run Tolkien Town.

The Legolas stuff makes him look either strange or feminine!

Yet, if you look at the Gimli stuff, even the bobblehead, it isn't that bad.
