All the movies are great, so it’s hard to pick one. The emotions in Return of the King (when they think Frodo is dead, when they realize the ring is destroyed, when everyone bows to the hobbits, etc) is what clinches it for me. If I had to order them, favorite to least favorite, I would go ROTK, TTT, then FOTR. Again, all the movies are great, so even though FOTR is my least favorite, it’s not by much.
This was a tough one. I was debating btw. the first and last one, but I picked the last one. I love the first one b/c you see the fellowship forming and are introduced to all of the characters, but the last one had such a powerful end it just got me right here-I was highly impressed by all of them and would watch them a million times over so if anyone wants to have a movie marathon just let me know.
So I’ve only seen part of the first Lord of the Rings… so no favorite movie or character. I’ll have to get back to you on the internet access since I just bum the church’s.
I wouldn’t know which one i liked best. I think they would run together in my head if I tried to pick one. Chris, we should screen all three of them, the extended editions… consecutively. That would be… fun.
Jez : Don't know if I've said it yet. If not, then I'm sorry...but thanks for the donation for the walk!!!
Chris : I'm a few chapters in, haven't gotten to the more controversial part yet, but so far, I don't like his writing style at all. Going to be hard to stay with it...
David : Hows the book? I've heard a lot of people reading it and saying it's good.
Bryan : The gas run in the south is because of Hurricane Ike and the possibility of a shortage from the storm knocking refineries out of commission for a while.
Chris : Might have saved us today, but I shudder to think about what this is doing to tomorrow... The next gen is going to be screwed. I'm working on a post...
David : As I too will never understand people. And yes I know, long term...just let it ride. I was asking about a post on economics because of the drastice measures the Feds are taken, and the debts the Gov. is taking on etc. Heard a few pundits say yesterday the steps taken yesterday most likley saved us from "Great Depression the Sequel." Wonder how true that may have been.
Chris : Oh, and follow that by "and this is why your portfolio should be diversified".Ca n't believe TN is out of gas...how'd that happen? Didn't realize companies going bankrupt led to runs on gas...I'll never understand people...
Chris : My post would basically say "breathe, take a chill pill, it's gonna be fine" followed by a "you are out of debt and in charge of your finances, right? If not, what more motivation do you need..." followed by "see how the markets dropped 500 one day and rose 400 the next? you can't predict it, and the more you try to hop on and off, the worse it is. long term, baby, long term...leave it sitting there"
David : You should do a post on the economic crisis. Things are out of control. Aside (Nashville is out of gas). It is really crazy down here.
Scott : 18th I'll send an email....
Chris : Oct 18th?
Scott : I should really learn to check my spelling first...
Scott : Well it looks like the next paintball game will have to be in October. I'm going to TN to do a centry ride on teh 20th and the 27th I'm doing a spin-a-thon to rais money for LAF (Lance Armstrong Foundation)...I don't liek waiting to play paintball! lol
Chris : Thanks for the heads up, Sabrina. I have class that night so I wouldn't be able to make it, but if you end up going, let me know how it is and what they have to say about it. I'm probably going to start reading it soon.
Sabrina : Chris, not sure if you would be interested, but you were asking about the Shack and thought I would let you know. Crossroads is doing a 6 weeks book study on this on Thursday evenings from 7-8:30.
Scott : hhmm Yeah I like the fort ideas...Just need to get more people wanting and able to play...
Chris : Yeah, ran out of ideas this week, so I recycled one of the oldest polls.
Bryan : You had that same poll a few years back, Chris. I still vote Winter.
Chris : Hmm, good call, Justin. We could also add another game to the list - storm the fort!
Justin : A perfect place for a fort would be up the hill straddling the creek. It could act as a 3rd base or the starting point for the flag in capture the flag.
Chris : It looks to be working now...guess there's just a delay. Thanks for the donation!!!
Jez : I think the thermometer on your fundraising website isn't working.
Scott : Yeah free play for however long beats 25.00 for 2 hours! I should go look at the field and see if it needs any work...I have some more wood for it...
Chris : Just a reminder that I'm raising money for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in September. Please consider donating! «link»
Chris : Sabrina, you're still at Crossroads, right? I'll have to check out that board to see their opinions. Pretty controversial from what I've heard, almost along the lines of The Da Vinci Code.

Only seen part of the first one? That’s it? Wow… Someone’s going to have to do something about that…
Dec 27th, 2004 at 21:17:51
I believe this is one of a few series like this that I have actually seen all 3. Though I have no clue which one I like better.

Lol, about 12 hours of movies…that would be something. Imagine all the popcorn we’d consume
Dec 28th, 2004 at 09:19:50
A marathon would be cool. That would easily be a case of popcorn.
