11

Hobbits have pointy ears? Have I totally glossed this bit of Tolkienalia my whole life?

12

Hobbits have pointy ears? Have I totally glossed this bit of Tolkienalia my whole life?

PJ’s hobbits do. As this is a movie game, that’s what counts.

13

I dunno man, I’m totally stuck on #18 to #35.

14

I’m still bitter because Judd Hirsch’s first series was Delvecchio. :mad: :wink:

15

#18 is not a nemesis in the traditional sense, as in the traditional Evil Tim Allen Robot or the standard basic Bond-style Jack Frost. Just an annoying putz in a bad sweater.

16

My bad, sorry.

I’ve never even heard of it.

17

27-30 might be The Bird Cage.

18

They might. :wink:

When this is all over, I’d be curious to know how you came up with that, as well as how Zipper came up with that last part of the puzzle.

I also didn’t get your “a”-type bonus questions (partly because of falling asleep!)

Oh, and I was able to get the ending bits off of the clue for #40 and working forward and backwards from it.
