Well said, though that proverb has an unidiomatic ring to it Laughing

I've got film award results, not everybody voted, but I could (attempt) to do an award ceremony! It won't be as glorious as one Petty could make, but it'd be something! I could do it this weekend, so if you haven't voted on movie awards you can do so (they're in the voting thread). You can PM me or just post your votes in the thread. Would that be okey dokey?

They should be careful or we'll start talking about taking water over ones head. Laughing

by Norc Mon Feb 17, 2014 12:29 pm

by Bluebottle Mon Feb 17, 2014 12:55 pm

It's all in the awards voting thread, I think.

by Bluebottle Mon Feb 17, 2014 2:04 pm

If I'm going to answer quieries, maybe I should do so properly. Laughing

Are you in port now, Dave? If memory serves you're still traveling before the mast...

Yep, sailor suits have changed since the last time I saw one.

by David H Mon Feb 17, 2014 5:32 pm

Yes, I'm back home for a while, and I really should be trying to dig myself out from under the heaps of REal Life that have piled up in my absence, instead of trying to get caught up on all the threads here that I've missed in the last couple weeks. %$##^%!

by Norc Mon Feb 17, 2014 5:48 pm

Barrel Chase
Gandalf vs. Necromancer

Chase to Beorn's
Mirkwood Spider Fight
Barrel Chase I LOVED THAT!!! GO BOMBUR!
Gandalf vs. Necromancer
Lake-town Fight (Orcs vs. Elves)
Erebor Showdown (Dwarves vs. Smaug)

MOST OBVIOUS LOTR MOMENT
Aethelas/healing scene
"Dwarf Blood"/"Man Flesh"
Sauron/Ring
PJ Cameo all of them, i can't decide...

WORST LINE(S) OF DIALOGUE
"You like killing things, you like death? Then let me give it to you!" - Tauriel
"Such is the nature of evil, in time all foul things come forth!" - Thranduil (fixed it)
"We are legion." - Azog
"If this is to end in fire, then we will all burn together." - Thorin <-- OI! best bit of dialogue!

"I could have anything down my trousers." - Kili also one of the good ones

Sauron

WORST NON-CANON CHARACTER
Tauriel we need women..
Legolas
Alfrid
Azog
Bard's Family
Radagast
Sauron

I'm pretty sure Petty approved of these, but seeing as it's a little late in the game... I don't know. It's up to Petty I guess.

i have one more:

BEST LINE OF DIALOGUE (one liners and a bit more)
"If this is to end in fire, then we will all burn together!" - Thorin

"I am fire, I am death" - Smaug

"-I found something in the goblin-tunnels" ["what did you find"] "my courage" - Bilbo Baggins

Smaug: Well, thief! I smell you, I hear your breath, I feel your air. Where are you?
[moves in Bilbo's direction]
Smaug: Where are you?
[Bilbo runs, but Smaug hears his footsteps across the gold and follows]
Smaug: Come now, don't be shy... step into the light.
(basically I'm nominating the whole of that sequence between Smaug and Bilbo) ALL of the Smaug bits!

here's the list, including the category i added below.

Fact is I was planning to get at least three times as much done this morning as I did. Then poverty and David Lynch struck. Mad

by Tinuviel Mon Feb 17, 2014 9:39 pm

thanks Norc!!!!

The rest of you, get voting!!!!

by Eldorion Mon Feb 17, 2014 10:17 pm

I don't remember if I voted for the movie categories. Shrugging

And why hasn't Petty posted in this thread since coming back? Mad

by Norc Mon Feb 17, 2014 10:29 pm

he's hiding.

by Tinuviel Mon Feb 17, 2014 10:37 pm

I don't think you have yet Eldo.

And he most definitely is because he's drinking away Forumshire's supply of Buckie to drown away his stress!!! Mad

by Bluebottle Mon Feb 17, 2014 10:53 pm

He did actually. Just on the other thread.

I have sent a secret missive to Petty, your Maj. I even offered to help, too! Shocked

Mind, I suspect it might be something as simple as Life intruding. And to think, I never knew Scotshobbits had Lives (as such)*. Very Happy
