I was thinking cymbals too, or perhaps symbols. It is KOBE it isn't so much KBE and OBE, but simply K on it's own for knighthood (one can speak of getting a K), together with OBE. That's what I thought people would be unfamiliar with: both the use of gong for medal, and particular British decorations.

WHAT?????????????????????????????????????????????????? :shock: :shock: :shock: I just have never found it particularly moving.

In mayn ways I think PJ would be better for The Hobbit than I tihnk he was for LOTR. It is a far less serious work than LOTR and I think his style would work. Even if PJ doesn't do it, and I very much suspect that he will*, hopefully Lee and Howe will be back on the project. I think it is their inpu...

Prostitution is not legal in my city, but it is common enough. The red light district (okay, it's a city block) has bars where you can spend $100 for a bottle of champagne...and that includes a private room and a woman. In one of my regualr pubs you can spend far more than that on a bottle of champ...

It's a kind of puzzle that has certain conventions, I don't think I can explain it any clearer. Conventions are fine, Parma, I'm just saying that we mustn't mix up conventions and logic.

Any rate, I remain 100% convinced that a straight adaptation of The Hobbit should be made as ONE movie only. The purist in me would prefer two, provided they stuck as far as possible to the book itself and didn't use it as an excuse to bring in Aragorn material, or indeed too much about the attack ...
