Were it not for this fracture, all the events of the LOTR may not have come to pass.<br />This is where Bilbo convinces himself that he won the ring fair and square from Gollum. Gollum, much earlier, claimed the ring as his birthday present and seized it illegally by way of slaying his cousin Deagol while they were both fishing. <br />Therefore, the Ring being altogether evil and manipulative of anyone who touches it is evident in the riddle game. It was a funny exchange yet a most dark episode from which even more foreboding was to come upon Middle Earth.<br />So all in all, it is interesting that you should mention this :)hobbit1964https://www.blogger.com/profile/04030529322509686268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6288619677784745586.post-31818507987647074712012-12-28T21:43:59.183+08:002012-12-28T21:43:59.183+08:00Whoa, you are truly a LOTR or Hobbit's fan thr...Whoa, you are truly a LOTR or Hobbit's fan through and through.<br />You know what, my fav part of the movie was when Gollum and Bilbo exchanged riddles. I thought that was hilarious!! hahaha..Gemma Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09934007929131462031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6288619677784745586.post-33875614964859678602012-12-28T20:45:19.400+08:002012-12-28T20:45:19.400+08:00Much have we forgotten Angie, about what we are do...Much have we forgotten Angie, about what we are doing in any faith we profess. So many have in utter bigotry, conceded that faith and religion constitute a membership where only those who subscribe to and pay the dues will have the right of safe passage into paradise.<br /><br />We are not here to advertise and recruit a club membership. Merely professing a faith doesn't make us right. We are here to show by how we live, the life we aspire to in the hereafter. We are called to be today, the life that is to come. Or at least, in my humble opinion, even if not humbly expressed after all the clamouring everywhere, even as far down as Australia.<br /><br />Therefore (!!), yes, I am finally getting to it, I am glad that both you and I have friends who have not bought into the idea that righteousness leads to supremacy, but that in giving we are thereby bound to receive. <br /><br />Yes I finally took the kids for The Hobbit (no pun intended), and splurged in 3D too. The Hobbit actually precedes The Lord Of The Rings. In fact, Tolkien's book on Creation is contained in the very first tale, The Silmarillion. That one was too difficult a read for me, and I actually found A Brief History Of Time easier to digest.<br /><br />We all enjoyed it immensely. Before watching the movie I wondered why on earth Peter Jackson would want to expand such a thin and playfully written book into a two or three part movie. <br /><br />But after watching it, I realise that whilst departing from the chronological proceedings of Tolkien's book, Mr Jackson has actually connected the dots to the other books, even to The Silmarillion, so that a more dimensional understanding of Tolkien's concept of Arda could be represented on the big screen.<br /><br />And he managed to capture the roguish attitude of the dwarves, whilst preserving their individuality from Thorin to Bombur to Fili and Kili. I think there is more British culture reflected in the dwarves' rambunctious rollickings than the entire two seasons of Downton Abbey, to concur with John Hurt. We were laughing out loud in our seats throughout the movie and were quite sad when it had to come to a close just about where I thought Mr Jackson would end the first serving. <br /><br />Loads of fun. Would recommend it to a friend!<br /><br />hobbit1964https://www.blogger.com/profile/04030529322509686268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6288619677784745586.post-2827130291795021862012-12-28T19:36:18.486+08:002012-12-28T19:36:18.486+08:00Hi gorgeous, thank you so much and it means a lot ...Hi gorgeous, thank you so much and it means a lot to me, coming from Windsor's finest. :) :P<br />hobbit1964https://www.blogger.com/profile/04030529322509686268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6288619677784745586.post-48513001471173838992012-12-28T19:08:09.021+08:002012-12-28T19:08:09.021+08:00Oh, by the way.. have you seen the latest movie Th...Oh, by the way.. have you seen the latest movie The Hobbit, the sequel of the LOTR?

Hey, it is...I can understand why you missed flying. Hey, it is absolutely gorgeous up there, looking down to mother earth,God's spectacular creation is indeed awesome..I am speechless!! Love all the pictures.<br /><br />Smiled at your description of the monotonous sermon which reminded me of my own experience this Christmas Service.<br /><br />But I am appalled at the small-minded of some people about the 'haram' wishing thing. Thank goodness, I too have not been deprived of Christmas wishes from friends of other faith.<br /><br />Blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year.Gemma Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09934007929131462031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6288619677784745586.post-16138204954271200712012-12-28T18:02:03.199+08:002012-12-28T18:02:03.199+08:00Hi gorgeous..happy new year and merry christmas..!...Hi gorgeous..happy new year and merry christmas..! :)Lady Windsorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00362120947978947644noreply@blogger.com
