Darn you, Samwise Gamgee! What's Rosie got that I haven't, besides furry feet?? :grouchy: :p Erin

Don't forget pot-head! (" ***sigh*** I'd give anything for a whiff of old toby..." :p ) Erin

Yeah, that's what I heard! That's so cool! It's rather hard to believe that Billy is 8 years older than Dom. They seem like they'd be the same age. It certainly appears the two of them have formed a friendship of Merry and Pippin proportions. All four of the hobbits seem to be the same age, but...

I wish I hadn't read that. :( To quote Meriadoc Brandybuck, "They won't stop until they've destroyed all that is green and good in this world..." ***sigh*** I'm not going to Bush-bash, I think he's a good guy, but I think his stance on the environment is most lamentable. Where's a Lorax when you...

Spock is my favorite character in the whole Star Trek canon. He's so great. After Hugo Weaving's amazing performance in LotR, I think that Spock and Elrond are similar characters in many ways, beyond just their pointy ears and severe eyebrows. They're so stoic, but when they do show a trace of...

It wouldn't surprise me too much if he didn't. But a gal can hope! :halo: Erin

When I heard Elijah was going to play Frodo, I just kept thinking Huck Finn. Ironically enough, that first shot of Frodo in "Fellowship" is of him lying down in the grass with straw in his mouth... a very Huckish position. But Huck went out of my mind as soon as Frodo spoke. I'm sure all of the...

Well, as I said, I don't think there's any way Boyd will get nominated. And really, I don't think there's any way any one of the cast members will get nominated for Best Actor, given that "Lord of the Rings" is such an ensemble production. I do, however, think Sean Astin at least has a good shot...

I wound up as Kirk somehow... I don't mind, though, since that means I get to have Spock as my First Officer! :) Erin

I read that in 11th grade. We were supposed to have a big test or something on it, and then we never ended up doing anything related to the book at all. I was kinda bummed; it took me quite a while to read. But I really liked it. I thought it was a really good book. A couple years later I read...

I think I was probably about 3 when my dad first read me "The Hobbit." :p I read it myself for the first time in first grade. Even though I was pretty familiar with the story of "Lord of the Rings" right along, my dad didn't read it to me until sixth grade. I felt soooo grown up. :p It took him...

If Peter Jackson doesn't get best director I'll boycott the Oscars forever!! :attitude: I was kinda bummed about how few Oscars the first two garnered, though "Fellowship" certainly got a lot of nominations, and I guess when you think about just getting nominated is kinda a bigger deal than...

Taking a thread waaay off topic. :p Erin

So when do the Oscar nominations come out? Anyone know?? :confused: Erin

Ooh, first post-Frodo film - that should be interesting... Erin

Hehe. Well, it was very strange to read in French, and mostly I could only figure out what was going on because I knew the story already. I found it amusing how they changed some of the names; i.e. Bilbo=Bilbon and Frodo=Frodon. :p Erin

I started to read "Fellowship of the Ring" in French but didn't manage to finish it... Erin

We had a short story unit in my eighth grade class, and our teacher read us her favorite story: "The Ransom of Red Chief." Then, in ninth grade, my acting teacher and his wife presented the school with a performance of "Gift of the Magi." That O. Henry pops up everywhere! :cool: Erin

I read "The Lovely Bones" last summer. One of the best books I'd read in quite a while. I also recently read "The Green Mile," after I saw the movie. Another great book... Erin

I liked it better in elementary school, when everyone in class had to give Valentines to each other. That was fun... Erin
