Yay!! It looks lovely, and Martin Freeman makes a wonderful Bilbo.
Also, I go to my sister's today, but I take the netbook, and they have wifi. So you'll be seeing me over the holidays. Just not during the usual family activity times, when I will doing, well, family holiday activities.-
Also, I wish those of you to whom it means something a lovely solstice.
LotR for the first time ever
Jul. 16th, 2011 08:40 pmI'm watching 'Lord of the Rings' with the Little Lady, who is seeing it for the first time ever. She hasn't read it, either. Not even 'The Hobbit'. She just knows that I really got into Tolkien when I was barely older than her, so she finally wanted to see what it is all about.
And she immediately found a gaping plot hole I had never thought about. She was wondering where the hobbits got the swords from that they draw on Weathertop to defend themselves against the Nagzul. They never acquire them, that's true, and it's entirely un-hobbit-like to have swords.
She is, of course, completely right.
In the book, they get the swords that are actually Numenorean daggers from the barrow-hill after driving out the barrow-wight with the help of Tom Bombadil. As the movie ditched the entire Tom Bombadil section as plottishly unnecessary, they never got those daggers/swords in the first place.
Cleverly observed of her. I never questioned those swords, no matter how often I have watched that movie.

Jan. 21st, 2004 09:39 amDisclaimer: This is a joke by the Nazgul (who doesn't have an LJ so I can post it without stealing her thunder muchly) on a Lord of the Rings theme. It might seem a teeny-weeny bit blasphemous to the more narrow-minded (dim-witted cow-heads from Oberammergau come to mind, as mentioned in my last post), so if you consider yourself devoutly Catholic or else easily offended, then don't click to read more!!
Otherwise, ( click to read more! )
