Thanks, Daisy!

Of course that picture was taken before GWB becamr president so I didn't have it graced with a picture of him yet.

Oh, but today I do!

And it drives the libs at work CRAZY!

[Pippin]

I think it's amazing that a CGI could be so real and lifrlike that I couldn't tell weather it was the CGI or the real actor at times.

[sweetliberty]

Same here.

[Pippin]

I kinda laugh at the thought of Elijah Woods and Sean Astin having to interact with someone who's not there when they were filming scenes with the CGI.

In the appendices to Fellowship of the Ring they go into great detail about how they created a lot of the effects and how they adapted the characters to various scenes. They are apparently planning to do similar appendices to The Two Towers when it is released. I expect that much of the focus will be on gollum and how the other characters learned to relate to him.

[Pippin]

I'm going to try to get the extended versoins of both films so I can see the apendices. I like seeing how a movie is made and what has to be done to creat the scenes and the characters in it.

[sweetliberty]

I have never seen one so detailed as this. Like I said, the appendices alone are 6 hours.

Just finished reading the cookbook tonight cover to cover. Absolutely fabulous and can't wait to try out the recipes! Mr. D.'s law partner's husband and I have spent the past 20 years cooking on Friday nights (while he and she argued work/law and kept our drinks refreshed). The kids task was to create a great table setting each week.

I'm so excited to give them the cookbook tomorrow. While they aren't "real freepers" they have kind of been here through symbiosis..

YOU DONE GOOD!!!!!!

[Pippin]

6 hours!

Now that's a lot of detailing!

How do I get the films? were to I get them?

I meant to mention one thing about Gollum.

When reading the books I thought of him as a little spoiled brat and a sneak thief!

But since seeing him on film and seeing the interaction between him and Frodo and Sam, I see him as a poor lost creature. i almost feel sorry for him.

Happy Birthday Pippin. Hope you have the best of days and best wishes for a great 2003!!!!! So glad to see your family pictures and meet you in person!!!!

[Pippin]

Thanks, Dutchess!

You have a great 2003 as well!

I found the extended version in both DVD and VHS at Walmart. The DVD version was under $30 There are 4 disks. Not sure how much the VHS version is.

[Pippin]
