EomundDaughter Lorien Mar 8 2014, 2:58pm Views: 1752 What are your top ten reasons for not being.... able to see the opening of the Hobbit TABA film in December...

"On a mission to planet Mars" "Starring in a play called "Polar Vortex: The Sequel" "Still eating Thanksgiving turkey leftovers" AND.....

Ham_Sammy Tol Eressea Mar 8 2014, 5:09pm Views: 1052 There's a freeze that night And the oranges have to be picked off the tree before it hits. Thank you for your questions, now go sod off and do something useful - Martin Freeman Twitter chat 3/1/13

Escapist Gondor Mar 8 2014, 5:13pm Views: 1058 I really tried. I was on my way when the terrible blizzard that I decided to defiantly try my chances against threw my car right into a ditch! Not being daunted in the slightest, I packed up (having been prepared for this - knowing the dangers I was willingly risking to attend this event) my warm clothes and supplies and started walking from the ditch to the theater (which happens to be across several highways). I did manage the treck but not before the last ticket sold out! Bummer! If all the world's a stage then who's writing the script?

Avandel Half-elven Mar 8 2014, 6:30pm Views: 1025 dollars I can't afford that much therapy, seeing as for some of this movie will be a real downer (and probably all of us unless PJ decides he can't let go after all).

Eruvandi Tol Eressea Mar 8 2014, 6:58pm Views: 1013 ... The polar vortex brought Sharknado and the Zombeavers along for the ride and I'm hiding in the panic room until they go away. Some of my professors are actually sparkly vampires so I have classes during the day AND night. I'm trying to figure out how to train my dragon not to steal the neighbor's chickens. (No seriously, my neighbors really do have chickens) The TARDIS malfunctioned and I'm trapped in Victorian England. "So fare thee well, my own true love I'll think of you night and day A place in my mind, you will surely find Although I am so far away And when I'm alone, far away from home I'll think of the good times once more Until I can make it back someday here To Paddy's green shamrock shore" --The High Kings

EomundDaughter Lorien Mar 8 2014, 7:35pm Views: 1006 Very creative and #162 reason is that TABA tickets have been sold out since June...of course everyone wants to see the final film... or...I am 99 yrs old and can not get too excited....oh, go anyway! or will be busy modeling swimsuits in the Ukraine in December or the zombie attacks have started and they are only showing zombie movies

Meneldor Valinor Mar 8 2014, 7:41pm Views: 994 I was kidnapped by thirteen dwarves and a wizard. But on the plus side, I'm going on an adventure! They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; These see the works of the Lord, and His wonders in the deep.

Meneldor Valinor Mar 8 2014, 7:46pm Views: 984 I couldn't get the eagles to carry me to the theater. They're not a taxi service, you know. They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; These see the works of the Lord, and His wonders in the deep.

Bombadil Half-elven Mar 8 2014, 8:07pm Views: 973 All the theaters are Underground? Not like Hobbit Holes at all? Full of oozie smells, sticky walls & Floors so it's Too Hard to a clean seat? Bomby jus' Throws up his arms "Been Here, Done That"

EomundDaughter Lorien Mar 8 2014, 9:40pm Views: 934 No mercy....one more reason... Decide to invest in the Kleenex market due to TABA being (so sadly) the last film in the trilogy and cant get car out of the driveway due to mountain of Kleenex and it is RAINING!! (I know....getting weirder....its the weather)

Bombadil Half-elven Mar 8 2014, 9:46pm Views: 947 A PJ Production? Is always a "Never Ending Story"! Ain't it GREAT? We are riding the PJ RollerCoaster for the Second Time... Hang on Tight Family... C U @ The End! Bomby

entmaiden Forum Admin / Moderator Mar 9 2014, 12:54am Views: 907 My 4 siblings and I have seen every movie together, since we're all Tolkien fans. That means we have to wait a couple of weeks until the Christmas holidays when we're in the same place and can watch the movies together. So I always miss the premiere, but it's completely worth the wait to see the movies with my siblings.

Elarie Grey Havens Mar 9 2014, 1:15am Views: 904 1. Just got kidnapped... by the Dread Pirate Roberts. 2. Trapped in the Fire Swamp. 3. A little tied up in the Pit of Despair. 4. Almost dead. 5. Really all dead. 6. Miracle Max took all my spare change. 7. Went to a wine tasting with Vizzini 8. Gone eel fishing. 9. Still looking for that six fingered man. 10. Yep - watching the Princess Bride again. Hop to it, Radagast, we've got dark powers to sleigh.

Meneldor Valinor Mar 9 2014, 2:18am Views: 893 The albino couldn't push me in his wheelbarrow. I think I jogged him too hard. They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; These see the works of the Lord, and His wonders in the deep.

Meneldor Valinor Mar 9 2014, 2:20am Views: 887 My boat was late. And they told me it was the fastest one in Florin. I am very put out. They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; These see the works of the Lord, and His wonders in the deep.

Meneldor Valinor Mar 9 2014, 3:08am Views: 887 Grampa, could we go see TABA together again tomorrow? As you wish. They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; These see the works of the Lord, and His wonders in the deep.

Elarie Grey Havens Mar 9 2014, 3:12am Views: 884 Uh-oh, Prince Humperdinck... burned down the theater, and blamed it on Guilder. Hop to it, Radagast, we've got dark powers to sleigh.

MasterOrc Rivendell Mar 9 2014, 3:31am Views: 874 Ohio Grassmna then.... After seeing one in broad daylight in1997 while doing wildlife work in Ohio, I have zero doubt.

Bombadil Half-elven Mar 9 2014, 5:52am Views: 869 Inconceivable to miss these films?

EomundDaughter Lorien Mar 9 2014, 2:54pm Views: 320 That was great ! How about....Radagast's hair?...or taking his clothes to the cleaners while he cleans up after all the rabbits....

Elarie Grey Havens Mar 9 2014, 3:38pm Views: 311 You're right! Inconceivable!!! Even if I'm All Dead and have to scale the Ciffs of Insanity - cannot imagine not being there on opening day Hop to it, Radagast, we've got dark powers to sleigh.

Morthoron Gondor Mar 9 2014, 4:32pm Views: 313 Hmmm.... 10. Red carpets clash with my wardrobe. 9. I am hoping to require an appendectomy prior to the opening. 8. I have important appointments scheduled every day in December. 7. Perhaps the Mayan calendar apocalypse was a couple years off. 6. I can read the book anywhere. 5. If I wanted fan-fiction, I would write it myself. 4. December is a good time to start a fascinating hobby...like growing mold samples. 3. To quote Patsy: "It's only a model." 2. If I wished to waste money, I would simply throw it out the window. 1. How will anyone else fit in the theater besides Peter Jackson's ego? Please visit my blog...The Dark Elf File...a slighty skewed journal of music and literary comment, fan-fiction and interminable essays.

Riven Delve Tol Eressea Mar 10 2014, 3:25pm Views: 281 Got rounded up by the brute squad. 2. Didn't have a holocaust cloak or a wheelbarrow. 3. Had a bad MLT. (The mutton was NOT nice and lean!) 4. Had to feed the ROUSes. 5. Bowing to the queen of putrescence. 6. Every ship in the armada was otherwise occupied. 7. Writing a definitive work on pain. 8. Listening to a salesman talk about a life without pain. 9. Building up an immunity to iocaine powder. 10. Got involved in a land war in Asia. Anybody want a peanut?

Elarie Grey Havens Mar 10 2014, 3:51pm Views: 272 Only... if you mean it Hop to it, Radagast, we've got dark powers to sleigh.

Riven Delve Tol Eressea Mar 10 2014, 4:03pm Views: 257 Ah, you have a great gift for rhyme. ;) //   “It was not Joy itself but its presence in a biological organism comprised largely of water, nitrogen and carbon that constituted the greatest puzzle. That we dream and wish at all is a powerful element of the case for belief that myths communicate some truth that cannot be communicated any other way.” --Alan Jacobs, The Narnian

Elarie Grey Havens Mar 10 2014, 4:37pm Views: 254 It helps to pass the time Hop to it, Radagast, we've got dark powers to sleigh.
