After the writer's strike? Is that for politeness or something real (i.e. they have no scriptwriter)?

Pardon my ignorance (I seem to have heaping helpings of it) but Peter, Fran and Philippa could be working on one right now. Or at least the ladies could be.

Then we'll all have to m00t at your house in '09.



Prim would you step over here so we can have a little chat, hmm?

The movies do not have to be exactly the books. One could make an R-rated Hobbit. The New Line marketeers have likely done their research. This won't be Disney or Pixar. I think Alatar's excerpt could be extrapolated and interpreted into something either very slapstick or suspenseful. I've read it a...

Won't the Hobbit movies also depend on what del Toro has to work with? What if the similarities between PJ and del Toro mean they clash more than they collaborate? What's the schedule going to be like? LOTR grew huge because of the number of special effects shots required for each successive movie. ...

:scratch: I didn't see any "tags".
Perhaps it is because I don't have a UK account.
Perhaps it is because you are putting one over on me.

Regardless, the tags are funny.

There are other interesting reviews on Amazon. In the UK there is a B-list ex-toy-boy singer called Peter Andre who married a very artificially inflated nude model called Katie Price (aka Jordan). They brought out an album. The only trouble is, she cannot sing at all. You can buy it with All About ...

Alatar, Just to be clear - not attacking you. :hug: I'm feeling torn inpart because it does feel good when some vacuous talking head gets a comeuppance. I would rather justice come from the same medium, like a FOX News apology, but I know a quixotic task when I see one. I makes a zing via Amazon muc...

The retaliation happened pretty quickly. 525 Amazon reviews between 22-24 January. Hens pecking another to death also happens pretty quickly (unlike claims of hen pecking within some spousal relationships...). Alatar, I remain torn. Did the 525 also send email to Fox News? Whoever chose to highlight...

I love the theatre! I can tell! :) I sounds like knowing the tricks didn't lessen the 'magic' of the show. For the movies, knowing about the forced perspective and lighting tricks didn't hurt my enjoyment of the DVDs one bit. I was lost in Middle Earth several times in the movie theater. when the t...

Should someone (and I doubt that it could be PJ) manage to weave The Hobbit with the pre-telling of Aragorn and Arwen's tale, show us Galadriel and Celeborn and Saruman and Elrond et all as the White Council, etc. I would be thrilled to teeny-weeny little bits. I'm all for that. I've read the Hobbi...
