LORD OF THE RINGS!!!

[The Winter Soldier]

for the record boobear your argument is invalid and unfair cause it's just purely based on the fact that he disapears in hobbit and the other movies thats not good reason to dislike a character.

personally i like boromir alot more but i like faramir cause fell in love with eowyn XD she was happy in the end XD.

GANDALF IS AWESOME. I will have my pyro friend personally find you if you say otherwise.

I liked Faramir XD In the movie even though he took them there he was willing to risk his life to let them go once he understood the dangers.

I don't like what they did to Faramier in the movies. They made him want the ring.....He was different in the book.

My question of the day:

anyone have a favorite character in "The Hobbit"?

Mine is probably Bombur simply because he seems so funny! I also like Bilbo Baggins because he was a hobbit who was brave and adventurous enough to leave his home to go on an adventure! I also like Smaug because i love dragons, and the Mirkwood spiders because i LOVE giant spiders!!

I like Fili and Kili and Bilbo.......I like Smaug too. I will have to wait until I see the movie to pick an all time favorite. But in the books its Smaug, Fili, Kili, and Bilbo.

My favorite dwarf of the company has to be Balin. He's just calm and wise, and whatever he says always seems to help and make sense. Whereas some of the other dwarves are interested only in their own gain, or are too vain to be as aware of other's needs. I think, a little like Sam, Balin is one of the unsung heroes.

]And with Frodo - he may sound very quiet, weak and sad, but he was carrying the burden of the ring. He has to be given some credit for it... he suffered so much over the whole story, it's amazing he held up for all of it.

THIS. I very much agree! I haven't read the books in a while (they're somewhere at my parents' house) but in the movies at least they are clear to say multiple times that Frodo has surprised them with his strength, his resistance to the ring, especially as a hobbit. No one could have gone through such an ordeal - not only carrying the ring, but coming from such a small community and being thrust into the harsh wide world, injured by ringwraith, attacked by Shelob, taken by orcs, learning about and traveling with Gollum, who also bore the ring for a long time, etc - and come out unchanged. He knew he had changed far too much, that the childish gleam was gone from his eyes. He'd seen far too much to remain with the hobbits thereafter. He was wisened and aged and weary and disillusioned with the world; he could just go back to naive Shire and pretend it had all never happened (especially how in the movies his home was unchanged, that very much disappointed me).

I used to feel more like you guys, praising Sam rather than Frodo, but I later saw that both were to be commended. Frodo got SO much farther than anyone expected, but in the end of course he couldn't have done without Sam always being there along the way.

I'm excited to see Martin Freeman's Bilbo. xD I think he's quite right for the role. :3

I hope everyone is enjoying the Advent Calendar so far!
We'd like to wish a happy Hanuakkah to our Jewish friends, and apologize for the lack of themed pets/items this year. Unfortunately things didn't get organized in time before I began the endless journey to Middle Earth and I ended up stuck in transit while Hanukkah began. It wasn't intentional, and we're planning on bringing it back next year, but this year we're going to leave it out rather than scramble to produce a delayed & rushed gift pack.

p.s. a few people have decided to send mail to the return address on the packages I shipped - please note that I am no longer living at that address!
