Re: Where are all the LOTR fans?

Books were much better then movies... The Hobbit was worst book, but the drug abuse in the beginning was kind of funny  wink

Re: Where are all the LOTR fans?

I remembre that Chees. I think we sucked out that round. Like always. Dunno if the core group is still playing, would like to know how they are doing.

Not many people know this, but I own the first radio in Springfield. Not much on the air then, just Edison reciting the alphabet over and over. "A" he'd say; then "B." "C" would usually follow...

Re: Where are all the LOTR fans?

LOTR is brilliant.

Films were great, but no motion picture can follow Tolkien's literary portrayal.

"It is not just a friend's help that helps us, but the knowledge that they will unconditionally do so."

Re: Where are all the LOTR fans?

Lord of the Rings was mainly Tolkien weaving a lot of Finnish, Norse myth into a new mythology around his language trees.  He made the Elvish tongues first and then stories about how they grew apart.  Read some of the volsung legends and the karevela

LOTR has always been big on these forums!

The core joke of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is that of course no civilization would develop personal computers with instant remote database recovery, and then waste this technology to find good drinks.
Steve Jobs has ruined this joke.

Re: Where are all the LOTR fans?

I read the Silmarillion at 15 because I was such a big geek seeing it as a challenge, but I skipped the shitty elvish poetry in it even then, and afterwards gave up fantasy and started on SF.

Re: Where are all the LOTR fans?

I love the books and the movies but the Silmarillion is way too much, I read it and it nearly killed me.

Everyone has the right to be stupid but your just abusing the privilege.

Re: Where are all the LOTR fans?

Silmarillion is my favorite, the idea that Sauron got punkd about 50 times by the time of the war of the Ring lol

And all those hasty rambunctious elves taking themselves out of the Elf gene pool big_smile. "C'mere Turin you slimy punk you can't run from me forever whhooooppssAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

"What? You want it back? Yeah I know you made it, but it's MINE sorryass dwarf bitches, do you know my girlfriend is a god? OW"

Re: Where are all the LOTR fans?

Indeed The Yell.

Also, when you read what happened in The Silmarillion, you can only conclude that Aragorn, the humans and the elves of his era are pansies compared to the early elves of Beleriand.
Fingolfin single handedly mutilated Morgoth (Sauron's master), and Beren faced him too. He didn't need a bunch of Hobbits to sneak into Mordor to get rid of a ring tongue
