LOTR/ The Hobbit saved my life. Being a highly imaginative, ‘away-with-the-fairies’ type of person, I just feel as though the books and films have the ability to take me away from reality. When I want to escape from everything, I just have to watch one of the films or read one of the books, and I will feel happy again. I’ve fallen in love with the stories and the characters, and the fact that Tolkien isn’t around to write anymore makes me feel unbelievable amounts of sadness.

I don’t think Peter should have made The Hobbit into a movie. I fell asleep half way through. I’m looking forward to the other two movies, mainly just to see Legolas and possibly Frodo for a second time. But at the same time, I’m not. Lord of he Rings was a massive fluke. An amazing one at that, and something like that can’t be pulled off a second time. And the idea of Tauriel is ridiculous in my opinion. Evangeline Lilly won’t make a good elf.

Yep. Those 2+ years of filming, location scouting, painstaking artistic design, elaborate wardrobe, top-notch acting, etc., are all very indicative of a “massive fluke.” Or not. More like indicative of good film-making. I certainly didn’t think the Hobbit was as good as the LoTR films, but not because making it was an insurmountable challenge. I’m still very much looking forward to the other films, and I won’t judge someone based on a performance I haven’t seen yet.

Agreed, stranger. Agreed. Prejudice can do many things to the eyes so may it be an evening star that shines down on you, dear confessor. Perhaps the next time you watch it and the darkness falls, your heart will be true.
And just to add, I rather enjoyed Jackson’s The Hobbit - just not super happy that they broke it down into three parts.

Beat me to it.
They’re going to get married. Momentary lapse of doubt for the Stinbatsky ship. Absolutely, positively, going to get married. Please excuse my previous post about the possibility of them not getting married.
I can now go to bed and dream of flowers and rainbows. The world is right-side up again.
lol.
I need to catch up. I used to watch this religiously with my brother because it is such an awesome show. But, I got busy and forgot about Dwight. I need me more Dwight.

In case you are wondering who drew that lovely jpeg, it would be one of Ted Mosby’s kids. But one thing I would like to ask is “what is wrong with this picture?”
Robin and Ted’s friendship is (that is, if we can truly call it JUST a friendship), let’s face it: legen- (wait for it…) dary, I get it but where is Barney? I know, this is only one picture that the writer’s decided to show BUT why did they show it? It is clear that Robin is very present in future Mosby’s children’s life (might be owing to the fact that she can’t have children and grew to love and be a huge part of her best friend’s) and sure, the show is called “How I Met Your Mother” for a reason that we can only assume is how Teddy (…lol) meets the love of his life (and marries her), but what is wrong with this picture? Hasn’t Barney ALWAYS prided himself at being Ted’s BESTEST friend? So why isn’t his kids drawing pictures of them and Uncle Barney, the coolest uncle ever, with his awesome wife Aunt Robin?
Or maybe I am just thinking too much into the drawing?
That being said, in the beginning of season 8, Ted starts off by telling his kids “let me tell you the story about a wedding that went terribly wrong, referring to as we now know to be barneys and robins wedding” (or something like that), and the spoilers for season 9 says that the whole season will have the backdrop event circled around Robin and Barney’s weekend wedding and how each member meets the mother of Ted’s children. Now, in the season 8 finale, SPOILER ALERT: Mr. Teddy confesses to Lily about Robin’s irreplaceable occupation in his heart (forcing him to look elsewhere for his true love: Chicago, since New York had her engaged and soon-to-be-married to his BFF) and his incre- wait for it…-dable idea to give Robin that locket she thought she lost for her wedding gift (so that he can obviously be the reason why she smiles and in turn, is her shining knight one last time)…then Lily, the one who is usually always bang-on with her intuition, says “be careful” to Mosby (sounds like a hint to me). The whole of season 8, I celebrated Barney and Robin’s relationship. I absolutely ship them to the ends of the earth and I know they are only fictional characters but if the writer’s are building them up only to break them apart this last season, I am going to crash. I won’t eat for a whole shift if this happens. Okay, that’s being very dramatic because I need fuel but if that is what ends up happening then the writer’s better think of something epic to make the booboo I will get in my heart go away when they actually DON’T get married.
Anyway, I would watch season 7 and 8 again so that I can be more perceptive but I think I will leave it up to fictional fate and into the hands of the writers. They managed to keep the main plot: How Ted Mosby meets his future children’s mother, stream longer than expected so I imagine that they know what they are doing. I just know that there will be a twist this last season that will blow me to pieces - hopefully in a good way.
Someone want to give me a reason not to assume Robin and Barney will end up NOT getting married?
Birmingham schoolgirl "murdered in bid to harvest her organs"
” A Birmingham schoolgirl was murdered by health workers in India in a failed attempt to harvest her organs, her devastated parents have sensationally claimed.
Gurkiren Kaur Loyal’s family said she was being treated for a simple case of dehydration when staff at a clinic gave her a mystery injection which took her life.
… They said they only discovered her organs had been taken when her body was flown home to the UK.
Only her eyes remained, they said.
People with money pay to help their family members,” she said.
“We are trying to build a portfolio of other cases.”
Worse still, Amrit said she was told a post-mortem examination would be required in India before her daughter’s body could be returned to the UK.
“They said they would use a hammer and chisel to open her,” she said. “I demanded a more dignified, discreet examination.”
Eventually, having kept watch over Gurkiren’s body to prevent evidence being destroyed, they were given assurances that a respectful autopsy would be carried out.
But, returning to the mortuary, Amrit said they found her daughter’s bloodstained and ripped clothes by an incinerator and that the post-mortem examination had been carried out by a non-qualified junior.
“It was medieval,” she said.
After chasing up death certificates, they had Gurkiren’s body flown home and a UK post-mortem examination was ordered.
But Amrit said their hopes of finding out what was given to their daughter were shattered in a call from Birmingham coroner Aidan Cotter.
“He said it was impossible to come to a conclusion for the cause of death,” she said.
“They had nothing to work from, she had no organs in her body for them to take samples.
In 2007, Ravindranath Seppan, of the Chennai Doctors’ Association for Social Equality, admitted: “India’s rich are turning to India’s poor to live longer.”
He said the commercial trade of human organs remained big business, despite having been banned in 1994.
Ship forever.
