The Hobbit, and Others.

[FoundationOfRancor]

Apparently, I don't post enough.

I recently read The Hobbit. I have read it before, but it was like, in 3rd grade. Anyway, I really enjoyed it, its a classic adventure story. It was refreshing, I was getting pretty sick of all this complex story line stuff (coughcoughURZAANDHISBITCHEScoughcough), and it was relaxing just to read about a good old fashion adventure. No traitors, No Planeswalkers, No question of morals.

Anyway, back to the point of this thread, I saw a movie preview the other day for the three books that come after The Hobbit. I cant wait to catch up to read them, and then see the movies!


What say you, The Educated CPA Citizen?

I say why do you care so much about what Almindra thinks? Just because she (or anyone else) says that you don't do this enough, or are not good enough at this, ect mean that there's something wrong with you? Why don't you just do what you want to do and tell everyone else to go to hell if they don't like it.

Lol, I dont mind...I finally found something to say, thats all.

 

[Darsh]

Alright then, post away

Sidar Jabari, you know where this is "thing" is from ...though, it's dedicated for you, FoR:

Basic instincts, social life.
Paradoxes side by side
Don't submit to stupid rules
Be yourself and not a fool.
Don't accept average habits
Open your heart and push the limits.

Duke, your poems mean so much to me
Your rhymes are so damn elementary!
At 1;22,
when I have absolutely nothing to do
I spend my time reading poems from you!
Counting with patience, how many words rhyme with blue.

 

[Darsh]

Ah, tis fun to run and play
To run around the place all day
Then it's laughter that you hear
The laughter comes from far and near
But what does the laughter come to be?
Why it turns to anxiety
For when you laugh so hard you cannot breath
You might think it's your time to leave
But just before it's time to die
The laughter fades down to a sigh
And you once more run and play
You run around the place all day

 

[Darsh]

Tis much fun to make these rhymes
But with all things the price is time
And this member's time is at an end
So when I push the button send
A thought will pop into my head
This thought being it is time for bed
I will wander off to sleep
Bypassing those annoying sheep
And when I wake in the morn
After my dreams of candy corn
My head will feel no more pain
And all the world will be right as rain.

GOODNIGHT CLEVELAND!!!

the goodnight cleveland, was a good touch

...yeah, FoR...elementary. Too bad it's not by me. Maybe you should ask Sidar Jabari about the source.

...if you wanted real poems, you should've told me! I have plenty of them...4 being published...

I'm not a poet, nor a writer,
I am instead an avid biter,
I bite that, here and there,
I bite, yes, everywhere,
What my jaws can bite,
It does at the speed of light,
Iron, Rock, Plastic, Glass and Steel,
One bite, and there goes my meal...

 

[Apollo]

It seems everyone else writes a poem
About Magic, biting, running, or home
So I'll try my hand at one
And see if I can have some fun
But at writing poems I have no skill
I just randomly write till I've had my fill
I don't know what happened to this thread
Was the first post ever read?
I thought we were speaking of the Hobbit
How did this post get so far of topic?
Now, that line didn't rhyme so well
But I still think it's pretty swell
But right now, my ideas are few
So I think I'll take my leave of you.

GOOD NIGHT JAMAICA!

Back "on topic"... so far I feel the Lord of Rings movie is worth a rental see, unless it gets glowing reviews from you guys and the papers...

 

[NeuroDeus]

I tried reading Lord of the Rings about 7 times and 'magically' I always stopped after the Hobbits went to the Journey... I HAVE TO READ THAT BOOK

 

[Almindhra]

They have the audiobooks on Napster...Go get them now!!!

 

[Mundungu]

LOTR (lord of the rings) is pretty slow at the beginning but it is certainly worth the read.

I think it has been nominated/chosen for best book of the century.

Yes it is long and heavy, but if you liked the hobbit you will get hooked on that one.

I think the movie will be worth the entry price, and will definitly be worth it seen on big screen.

Hopefully it will redeem that awfull version made in the late seventies....

 

[Sidar Jabari]

I'm always scared when people try to make movie versions of books I've read. They're never quite how I imagine them.

 

[TomB]

And especially with Fantasy stories in the past. It's better with CGI now, though they still seem to feel compelled to mess with the main story lines.

Check out the LOTR books FoR. I was given the 1st one, Fellowship of the Ring, back in freshman English (oh so many eons ago) and I've been hooked on Fantasy novels pretty much ever since. Compared to today's Fantasy it's almost a bit pedestrian (I always felt Tolkien could have done more with the magic) but if you consider when they were written (back around WWII, if I remember right) they become a piece of history.

Good stuff!

I got hooked on "A Spell for Chameleon" by Piers Anthony. And the funny thing is, my mom practically had to force me to read the book. I was into mysteries and westerns then...
