Hobbits - love them or hate them? Have you had enough hobbits to last a lifetime after 9+ hours of Lords of the Rings? Or can you not get enough of their hairy-footed, enthusiastic Hobbitness?

LOVE...of course you do ;(

Jennifer Hey Anna, just added my vote to support all Hobbit Lovers. Thought you'd like to know ...mwahahahahahaha!


message 16: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca I have to admit that I have not seen any LOTR movie. And not read any of Tolkien's books. (But I bought them a while back.)

...


Can I just vote for Martin Freeman? :)


Stefani - SpelingExpirt Mod
Why is there no "I kinda like them but if they were absent from my life I wouldn't notice for a while" option? Or a "they'd be much cooler if Samwise Gamgee had never existed and they learned to shave their feet" option?

message 19: by Holly (new)

Holly Letson IDC one way or the other. I read the books in elementary school 25 years ago. I loved the animated films. I HATE the LIVE-ACTION films.


message 20: by Stephanie (new)

Stephanie on snow days in elementary school we'd watch the animated Tolkien movies...pretty sure I watched each one at least once a year from grades K-6. i just love all things tolkien.

Martin Fr..."


haha, Martin Freeman love forever!

I actually only found out yesterday when I was waiting for the S-Bahn (subway in Berlin, kinda). There was this huge poster on the other side of the tracks. And it was the Hobbit staring at me and I thought: "Maaan, this looks a lot like Martin Freeman." and so I checked and yes. lol


message 23: by Lashya (new)

Lashya Wilson "HATE...Dissenters unite!" was the one I chose.

It put me to sleep.
And anything that bores me to snores, I stay away from !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


message 24: by Anna (Bananas) (new)

Anna (Bananas) I see there are currently 12 sane people who haven't succumbed to the hobbits. Yeah!


message 25: by michelle+8 (last edited Dec 27, 2012 12:22PM) (new)

michelle+8 I have a confession. I haven't read ANY of the LOTR books, and I only read like two chapters of the Hobbit. And I've never seen any of the movies.

I'm such a bad geek.

ETA: Just read the other comments and see I'm not alone! W00t!


Debbie's Spurts (D.A.) FRODO LIVES!!!

(Yup, I was around for all that particular hoopla and the über fan clubs). The young whipper-snappers among you may not get that phrase.

I loved the book (once I knew how the journey turned out and read LOTR I did not reread a lot, the quest/mystery was resolved. LOTR got quite a few rereads from me). I even liked Rankin-Bass animated film although I thought they really geared it to children and the Saturday morning cartoon crowd.

And I just saw the new film recently. I deliberately tried to stay away from discussions and reviews (well it was pervasive so caught some) but went in worried both because they were making it a trilogy and hopeful that the longer length meant they were sticking very closely to the book. I also heard ahead of time that Galadriel, Saruman, Elrond and other major LOTR players were in it while in the book most of them were completely off-stage if even mentioned and that worried me.

I did really love the new movie. There were moments that brought a chill to my spine they so evoked the book – Sting turning blue, the first encounter with Gollum, even the silly "That's what Bilbo Baggins Hates" song at the start of the quest. The cameos by LOTR characters handled well enough except it was really weird having Bilbo and the dwarves with Rivendell elves instead of Mirkwood. And they did take every opportunity for battle scenes and derring-do's that, if even mentioned, weren't dwelt on in the book. LOL, I refused to check my watch to avoid knowing exactly where the first movie was going to stop.
