LMAO

@DM True, but then there will be a contrast between all the action with Aragorn et al, and the journey of Frodo and Sam which doesn't involve much... plus all the stuff with the ents. It will be quite interesting to see how well the different strands of the story are woven together without it becoming disjointed.

@Tammy But you remember the rest? What book were you reading?!?!

I have a selective memory ok.

EDIT- Anyway it has been a while since I read the books. So I'm not really sure whats in the book anymore.

An additional question.

At the end of the trilogy, Gandalf and the others left the mainland for another place. What was this place and why did they have to leave?

Thanks for making me feel like a geek.

The elves were not originally from middle earth. Neither were the wizards. I guess they got homesick in the end.

Nothing like a good home cooked meal.

From what I've read, it sounds like a place where gods coexist with mortals.

The Grey Havens, I believe...

Here's a question - why don't you just look in the book, you lazy people?

But the book is soo big.

Also, it doesn't explain my question well.

You would probably have to check out The Silmarrilions (sp?). I personally don't like it, tries to cover too much and as a result becomes disjointed and confusing. It should have stuff on the Grey Havens.

Thanks Tamerlane, I think I might.

Not an issue if you want to find out where they go at the end

@Josh I expect someone round here knows, so you probably won't have to wade through the Silmarillion yourself

But would you wade through the book again to find some information probably irrelevant to the plot.

@Kayless, LMAO!

"No one tosses a m***** f****** Dwarf!"

Re: the question and subsequent answers,
IIRC. Gandalf passed through Moria once before and it was dangerous then, barely escaping with his life. Why he doesn't bother to tell Gimli this in the movie is anyone's guess.

("Heh, just wait till the shorty finds out.....")

Grunt, who are you fooling? You've never read a book.

So what is this question someone has on the Silmarillion?

Gruntboy · Post by **Gruntboy** » Mon Apr 01, 2002 11:19 am

Hey, I'll have you know I read "Confessions of a Window cleaner".

No, wait, that was a movie.

Witch King · Post by **Witch King** » Mon Apr 01, 2002 11:29 am

Wait, that wasn't a movie, but I do remember you telling us a story about something like that...

I remember, it was when you were a janitor in a high school, and used the excuse of "cleaning the windows" in order to have an excuse to stare into the boys' locker room with your bucket of suds.

Gruntboy · Post by **Gruntboy** » Mon Apr 01, 2002 11:36 am

Ah yes, one of your best tricks. You taught me well old man. Unfortunately I'm not as good as you at disposing of the bodies.

Witch King · Post by **Witch King** » Mon Apr 01, 2002 11:39 am

No, but who is?

Gruntboy · Post by **Gruntboy** » Mon Apr 01, 2002 11:42 am

Is that a rhetorical question.

Witch King · Post by **Witch King** » Mon Apr 01, 2002 11:45 am

Is it?
