Thank you for the one ping....
I have MY tickets...
But they are for Saturday!!! :(
To: jrherreid
I do like this review for its depth. It is clear that the reviewer is intimately familiar with the books, and did not read them for the sake of the movie review.
To: HairOfTheDog
Yep--the Tolkien junkie reviews are always better. I'm one myself, and have been trying to convince some of the more hardcore Tolkienites that the movie will be just fine. (And I never did like Tom Bombadil, anyway...)

Blasphame!... I LOVED Tom Bombadil... AND Goldberry - The River-daughter, and of course the grand pony Fatty Lumpkin... (click my profile and look at the name of my pony)
Seriously... I Do love Tom... Loved his songs, loved his love of his woods and his lack of corruptability. He may be the reason I am still single... No one has measured up.... But I won't whine about it... got that out of my system the first couple of threads. I can visit Tom any time I want!
And his socks were yellow.

Just find a guy who wears a bright blue coat, yellow boots, and who can run through the rain without getting wet. Dime a dozen.

We're going to see it in just over an hour! We'll be at this theater in Athens Georgia, wearing t-shirts from TheOneRing.net and carrying some signs. Mine says "Gandalf 3:16" :-)
Expect a full review later this evening.
To: Gordian Blade
I wish... Alas... and I suppose my Dad would have a heart attack if I brought ole Tom home, with the wardrobe and the beard and all.... Probably accuse ole Tom of being a Seirra Clubber.
To: HairOfTheDog
Well, I liked Bill the Pony. Fatty Lumpkin was just kind of... well... just seemed out of place. The whole Bombadil episode was more of a"Farmer Giles of Ham" type of thing than a "Lord of the Rings" type of thing. In my opinion. :D
BTW, nice horses!
To: Darth Sidious
I will try to stay up for the East-Coast early returns.
Have to make some coffee...
To: Darth Sidious
You son of a bachelor! I have to wait until tomorrow!!
To: jrherreid
Bill was a very good pony too... I just loved the name Fatty Lumpkin.
To: jrherreid
I have to wait until tomorrow!!Not me! However, since I live on the left coast, I still have over 4 hours to go. :-(
To: Darth Sidious
"Gandalf 3:16"WhAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! Got me there,got to get a bumper sticker like that.

I have the feeling that the party has moved... They have all left to go to the movie, and I am left alone to rake up the beer cans.

To: HairOfTheDog
