Wanted to change my name a couple of times, but the wisdom from head Head Turd Polisher showed me the error of that idea. Still...

Mine comes from where I live, the biggest bend in the Ohio river.

My original username was exactly the same as another user, except with 35 at the end. I didn't know this when I created my account, so I had it changed to this.

I think a vote should be in order. Create a poll with a list of names you like, and we can vote!

Failed business project. I had lost the email and website and shortened the name down numerically (was originaly thirtyfivestudio). Then used the 35studio name as a logon for some older forums and then kept on using it when joining newer forums.

Same, it seemed like a "safe name" that I kept using on one forum after another. Did not know it that so long ago I would still been here.

Smaug · **Reply #163 on:** January 21, 2013, 10:44:32 PM

'Smaug' (pronounced 'smowg') was the name of the clever-but-arrogant dragon from The Hobbit. Those (fools) who have not read the book, will have a chance to see him in the upcoming movie.

I wonder if he'll have a speaking part

It should be interesting to see if they give him one

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #165 on:** January 21, 2013, 10:55:29 PM

Smaug had a lot of dialogue in the book, so hopefully Peter Jackson is taking the time between cranking out the movies to actually read it...

I think he did the Hobbit the same way he did LotR as far as filming them all at once iirc

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #167 on:** January 21, 2013, 11:13:13 PM

It was a tongue in cheek comment on how he changed The Hobbit to try and stretch it out to make a few extra bucks.... suggesting that if he read the book then maybe the second one wouldn't be such a disappointment.

But I'll bet you knew that and were just taking the wind out of a perfectly good complaint...

Read the book, trust me. Tolkien wrote it for his son when he was a boy, so it is easy reading. The Lord of the Rings drags on at times, but not The Hobbit.

Grant, have you seen The Hobbit yet? I read the reviews and felt like Jackson was stretching it out needlessly too. (and there is probably some truth to it) But he pulled in a lot more material from other Tolkien sources; background and such, and I thought it really worked. It actually offers something to the people who read the book already, unlike LoTR.

I saw an advance screening of it in IMAX 3D before it opened.

I was not impressed. To me it was like a fine Armani suit with shoddy patches all over it to make it fit a bigger person. The stuff they added in to stretch it out didn't seem to really blend with the rest of the story and was painfully obvious.
