The guys seem to be enjoying themselves, Dominic Monaghan seems to have lost his northen accent.
Is it churlish of me to have a strong desire to sneak up behind Dominic Monaghan and kick his crutches away?
Yes.
I still want to. 
Somehow I'm not surprised. 
Well, they'll always have those tattoos...
Except for John Rhys-Davies.

Why not? There seems to be plenty of room. (AntiEldoSpam3)
He's been in a lot of films- maybe he gets a tattoo for every one and has run out of body space!

Because he chose not to get a Fellowship tattoo. I don't know why.
From the few times I've seen him interviewed on the subject of LotR and knowing from the extended version how painful a time he had with reactions to the makeup I suspect he does not have such fond memories of the filming as other cast members seem to have.
Either that or he thought PJ made a mess of it and chose not to have that fact permanently inked on his person. I could understand that.
To be sure, to be sure, to be sure, Mr Tyrant. Can we blame him? No.
Maybe he just doesn't like tattoos.
An unexpected thought!
An unexpected thought can lead to an unexpected party! 
Aha! A broken twig - and still warm...
A warm broken twig???... 
...what are you two up to?

Spamming.
GB is nearly always the last one to know! 
I know you two were spamming 
. I'm just wondering what you were doing with the "warm broken twig".
Something about that just seemed a little...Unrespectable.

I was hunting for the Evil Spammer (Eldo by name) in The Great Green Netwood! I found more and more recent signs of his passing as I closed in.

At my House Chivalry still lives, Tin. I'm very polite and respectful to my Female chattels. (I'm quite Biblical in some ways. A good old fashioned Patriarchal Benefactor).
The Women at my House are Decent, nor are they Bleak. They do their mandated jobs (housework, baby raising, dressmaking, and cooking-for-their-Men) with admirable diligence. We're old fashioned here, and half of us are happy. Luckilly Women hereabouts know their place; it doesn't matter if they're happy or not, and they know this for plain truth. You see, I hide nothing under bushells at my House

While I'm not sure of Eldorion's spamming status, his signature regarding James Cameron is absolutely hilarious.
The irony of that statement of course is that the mud men of New Guinea are the lucky ones!
[b:1oloxhqi]GB[/b:1oloxhqi]Philistine!
Never even been there!
[i:17yudo1s]Philistine[/i:17yudo1s], Eldo? Mr Tyrant might be many things, but criticising Avatar would surely be the instant reaction of a Highbrow Artist! [i:17yudo1s]Elitist[/i:17yudo1s] might be better. Mr Tyrant does prefer Quality Art - not flagrant technological wowism-popularism after all! Here to help.
Here to help.- Odo
And helpful as always.
It's nice to be agreeing with Eldo again.
Philistine indeed.

[b:g5g4rbaf]GB[/b:g5g4rbaf]Ooh look over there GB and Eldo- shiny things! That should keep them busy for a while.
[b:qgudgnrw]GB[/b:qgudgnrw]Now now Mr Tyrant don't you go encouraging them. You know full well that not all shiny things should be swallowed! Don't we have enough trouble with "gullibility" on this forum as it is? Here to help (again)!

In my book, someone who disregards art because it isn't "intellectual" enough is just as bad as someone who disregards art because it's [i:1zffbfog]too[/i:1zffbfog] intellectual.
And yes, I have a book. It's available for purchase at a bookstore near you!

If its cliched, hackneyed, dull, clumsy, gimmicky, soulless, artificial, unmoving but glossy and shiny can I still say its p*sh?
Yes, but only [b:izu8lx1d]if[/b:izu8lx1d]. [i:izu8lx1d]Avatar[/i:izu8lx1d] was cliched, but it wasn't really anymore unoriginal than the original [i:izu8lx1d]Star Wars[/i:izu8lx1d] (which is a very thin remake of [i:izu8lx1d]The Hidden Fortress[/i:izu8lx1d]). The 3D version had a few gimmicks (though not many), but if you watch the 2D version instead it's not really an issue. If you can look past the visuals (which are pretty amazing) there's a pretty good story there, even if it relies on some old tools of the trade. 
That said, the clincher for me was the world-building, which was top-notch right from the beginning of the film.

A Da Vinci might make "Star Wars" (movie 4 - the 1st movie? )), and Cameron, "Avatar." See the difference? Or is it too subtle for you?

Do you REALLY want me to break out my dictionary and post the definition of ART again?
