I must admit I am also dying to see Two Towers now, The Fellowship was stunning!

Boring, you have got Stranger! Oh, so have we all!
And I've been reading the book again for over a fortnight now (going for a slow reading prize!) I've not even left Lorien yet (hangs head in shame) I wanted to be able to shoot the movie full of holes as I watched it. It worked too!

I like complaining! It's what keeps me happy! Even if they'd followed the book exactly, and done all my favourite bits properly I'd have found something, if only Enya, to complain about. So I'm afraid I'll just have to drive you round the ****ing bend Tommy, sorry!

Oh, let the old squirrel bitch, Tommy. That's part of his charm, innit? Hmm, can't find the emoticons either Tommy, where are they?

Taz has hidden the smiles. The only way to see them is to click on 'edit', then they show up. I'd ask him to put them on the reply page too, except I'd rather he first try to kill the bug what keeps eating our forums. If you don't agree with this, use the feedback form and I'm sure he will get them back in the right place.

I've had to bother Taz *taz and ask for control of the X button so our little ones aren't subjected to the language of the above posting.

ooops! Sorry, I thought the clever editor thing would have got shot of that, I'll see to it before Tazzy spots it!

Well I am turning up now thanks to Grondmasters emails.

May I just say to you Plastic, how long has it been since you me, ungoliant, grondmaster and others have been waiting for some new people to come to the forum? A long time right... We now have a great mixture of people in our community and more joining all the time. I am sure I don't have to tell you to watch your language so we don't loose any of these valued tolkien board members.

Don't test the board please, lets just keep it tolkien and try and build up our members.

Thank you Grondmaster *taz

Never saw it, it must have only been there briefly. I'm really sorry, (still can't believe it doesn't recognise THAT word). And I'm very happy that we're up and rocking and rolling with all these new members, I don't mean to offend (much) sorry to anyone who had to see that!
*washes out mouth with bleach, ends up drinking it*
**** that was really ****ing horrible!
*Plastic

In your DREAMS! Be carefull what you wish for, for you might get it. Dear God, I hope it ain't so. Say it an't so Joe. Please! Else we will all be having NIGHTMARES. Arrrrrrrgh!!!

There is no ****ing WAY that Gandalf is gonna get cut out. And there's definitely gonna be Ents, so logically, there will probably be Huorns as well.

Didn't that turn out to be Kevin Smith in the end?

The Phantom Editor was someone who edited the Phantom Menace into an 'improved' version - basically he removed most of Jar Jar's lines. And Anakin's "Yippies!", and turned the movie into what a hard core fan thought TPM should really be like.

Kevin Smith is a hotshot director who did...dunno...who was the main suspect. Although last I heard, his website offically denied him being the Phantom Editor. Dunno whether he's admitted to it recently or not.

My hat goes off to whoever the person is. At least if the film turned out to be not quite to my liking, I can always pray that the PE might be tempted to fiddle with it. And he keeps the directors on their toes.

Chikakat, it has something to do with your still being in the process of gaining your education. Some of us old farts--The Sqwerls in his mid-twenties (I believe his mother said he was born old); the spider ladies pushing thirty-nine, again; and I've celebrated twenty plus anniversaries of that age--we have the luxury of a few more years of experiance and seem to have developed similar likes and dislikes. Which is probably why we enjoy each others company here on the forum. You shouldn't worry about not always being on the inside; what you should worry about, is some of our weirdness rubbing off on you.

PTM isn't that old though ... (1999)

okay I hadn't heard of kevin smith before either.... that must be that educational part Grondy was talking about...

lol!
I'm glad there's someone like chika over here, someone like me!
Oh well. I'm wondering what they'll do with Gandalf and Treebeard... I hope they leave Gandalf in, they have to! Right?
And if there's no Treebeard in the next film, then the film sucks already! grrrr!

I dont see how they can possibly make the rest of the movie without Gandalf.

It will flop without him.

So do you think Arwen will bring Aragorn his sword? I mean now that he has apparently rediscovered his path and all.

I hate the rebellious Aragorn. Tolkien must be turning over in his grave like a rotisserie

Rotisseried Professor........

Ungoliant, I never mistook you for a man if that makes you feel any better.

*with angel's face*
What people, Boring?
What abusive language, Alyssa?
I think Aragorn already has his sword, so there's no need for Arwen to bring it to him...
Alyssa is going to be back to read this, right? At least I hope so...

*stupid!
Come back! Baby come back!

Chika's right, Alyssa. We were so happy to have some new members that stuck here. You can't leave us now, just because you don't like some people... When you get to know us all really well, you'll see we're not so bad... And like Plast said, Grondy's just being the moderator, that's all. He's a nice guy, just like all the rest here (some of them are girls or women, but that doesn't matter, right?) Just hang on!

Indeed, and since when did anyone ever manage to keep any topic ever on topic? It just doesn't happen. Though well done for trying!

*Rends clothing; dons sackcloth; applies ashes.* I am sorry if I have offended anyone; it was not intended, and I do apologize for any grief or misunderstanding I may have caused. If I say something you don't like, or feel I have put you or someone down, feel free to complain. Upon descerning my errors will try to correct them. Mia cuppa (sp?)

I was out of line with the ad submitter; I should have welcomed him and diplomatically asked that he pay us a return visit. This job came without a guide book and this forum is my first and only online bulletin board experiance. I'm tryin people, just sometimes very. But I do love you all, even when I take the occasional dig at Sauron, 'cause he refuses to stay dead.
