You know you're obsessed with LOTR when ...

I was shouting, "BILBO!! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!?!?!!" Now that movie is known around my household as Hobbit From Hell.

I know *high squely monica-from-friends voice*
That's exactly how I reacted when I saw Johnny Depp in before night falls (He was dressed like a woman (not like in 'ed wood') and had a book script shoved up his rectum ).

Iaurhirwen, my best friend gave me a sword necklace with a "diamond" in it to rememeber her by when she was going to college. Its probably one of my most prized possesions. In the card she gave with it, she said she hoped it'll "be a light in dark places".

Ok for those upset over Ian Holm playing Jack the Ripper in From Hell , he has played worse. He played a high Nazi officer in a movie about the Holocaust. So there have been crueler roles little Bilbo has played. He's such a tainted Hobbit. First getting angry at Frodo from with holding the Ring from him and now this? He's gone to the Dark Side ladies and gentlemen.

Yeecchhh... Yet, why am I not suprised? Mr. Depp always finds such... "interesting" roles to play. Ed Wood ruined angora sweaters for me. Now I can't wear them.

Oh Bilbo, why? WHY!?!?! Bad, baaaaad hobbit! It's the ring, I tell you. That's what corrupted our poor hobbit friend into becoming a Nazi and a psychotic murderer.

At least Gollum didn't go Nazi on us.

Interesting roles indeed! Have anyone seen The Man Who Cried ? Galadriel with a Russian accent...

- You can read the Silmarillion all the way through, no stopping

- You can understand the Silmarillion

- Questions about the Sil in the Quiz room don't stump you

- Family trees are quite obvious

- You read the Sil for fun

- Your hair is grown out past your waist, is permanately waved and has eleborate braids in it

- Or, your hair is a tangled, curly mess

- You insist that "obey your elders" applies to you, as you are obviously an elf

- It's not wine and cheese, it's ale and mutton!

That's all I can think of for now...

Yep! Johnny of the Gypsies and Russian Galadirel...

Has anyone seen the movie "Crybaby"? I think that is the title.. I can't remember exactly. Johnny was a 1950's bad boy rocker nicknamed "Crybaby." How about the movie "Dead Man?"

Okay, back to the regular topic before I anger the mods and am forced to make a blood sacrifice to appease them. Heh heh.

-You can quote entire pages from "The Hobbit," which you haven't read in full since seventh grade. (I'm in college now, so that was five years ago for me. I know, shame on me for not reading it for five years.)

-You know more about the armies involved in the Battle of Five Armies than you do for World War II. Same thing goes for the Battle at Helm's Deep, Battle at Pellenor Fields, etc.

-You know the names of every dwarf in Thorin's company, every member of the Fellowship AND their families, all of Aragorn's nicknames, and the names of every person mentioned in Rohan and Gondor combined, but you can't remember the names of the people in your school psychology class. (Well, I'm not that bad. I only know the names of Thorin's company and the Fellowship, and most of Aragorn's names.)

-You've written stories and poems in dwarf runes to keep people from reading them. (Guilty.)

-You teach your sister how to read dwarf runes. At first you feel really knowledgeable and cool, but then you realize that she can now access the above mentioned writings. D'oh!!
