Hi everyone im new here and quite new to Tokiens written works, I have seen the films and and have just started the Fellowship, i only started it because my nan is obsessed with them and i have wanted to read them for a long time. I just have to say im only like 160 pages in but i am absolutely...

He had spent his whole life inside the walls of Edoras. Wooden or not, they we protection he took for granted. His parents were merely common farmers, that was the destiny of his life if it wasn't for that man. Wormtongue they called him, advisor to the failing king. He took no liking to the boy...

Follow the Fellowship - A TLotR Reading Project The War of the Ring is considered the highlight of the Third Age. Although many events lead to this war, they occured at lengthy intervals, and TLotR focuses on what Tolkien calls, "The Great Years" (TLotR, Appendix B). The text of The Lord of...

I have been an avid LOTR fan for quite some time now, though I have not frequented these forums in a while. I am opening a debate on whether or not Legolas may have been the greatest of the Fellowship- excluding Gandalf, of course- in the art of individual warfare. As we all know, Legolas is...

This is a new fellowship but goes beyond Mt. Doom: Post Your Character Name:Brathorn Race:Numenorean Weapons: Longbow, and a claymore, A gold Tree is on the blade, and a few white knives, each on a thigh Appearence: Red eyes only when mad, orinally green, silvery-white hair...

The Real Atrocity in Tolkien's Middle Earth By Jeff Alexander and Tom Bissell McSweeney's Internet Tendency | January 7, 2005 Part I: Chomsky: The film opens with Galadriel speaking. "The world has changed," she tells us, "I can feel it in the water." She's actually stealing a line from...

Which are they and why? How does the Fellowship of the Ring compare to the other two volumes for you? Try to narrow it down to 3, or 5 at the most...

FOTR is coming to TNT this weekend, for you Yanks with cable. Full details at http://www.thefutoncritic.com/cgi/gofuton.cgi?action=pr&id=20041202tnt01 Barley

For all of you PJ haters: What if Michael Moore had been the director? http://www.fellowship911.com Click the link to watch the Shortfilm. my sides still ache... enjoy

I finally broke down and watched EE commentary with the cast. Something disturbed me greatly. Ian McKellen mentioned (when Gandalf first comes into Hobbiton) that there was some concern with Gandalf smoking so much and the image it might portray (some sort of censorship concerns I guess) and...

Has anyone watched the hours on how they made costumes, set, etc. for fotr, or two towers?

I just discovered that if I put my FOTR soundtrack in the puter than it *should* take me to bonus material. However, what I got was "click here for bonus content" I clicked and got: Sorry! But you've accessed this page incorrectly. Please insert your Lord of the Rings Soundtrack CD into...

Had there been no option to go through Moria or over Caradhras, which other path would have been best, keeping in mind the scope and importance of the Quest? 1. Going over the High Pass north of Rivendell and then along the eastern side of the Misty Mountains down to Lórien and further... 2...

;) Is it True that Gimili said to Haldir who said: "Our kind has not had dealings with the Dwarves since......." Gimili replied: "And do you know what a dwarf would say to that?!" "Ishkhaqwi ai prep durugnul!" Which is translated: "I spit upon your grave!"??? How come they did not translate it...

:( Now, when Gandalf fell in the abyss in Fellowship, all we could hear was Frodo yelling "NOOOO!!!", and then Boromir yelled, "ARAGORN!!!", then they took out the sound and just had the sad music; we saw Gimili yelling or crying while someone was holding him, and....Why did they do that??? Why...

It seems to me that most people regard the portrayal of Gandalf in the Jackson movies as relatively accurate to the book. The "nit-picking", as it is not so affectionately called by some, springs up in the third installment as Gandalf becomes somewhat, ah, brutish in his tactics regarding...

For those of you who haven't been to the TTT and ROTK Forums and answered the fave part thread, I am doing one for the FOTK section as well. So, list your favorite part or parts from the first movie. My three are: 1) Legolas' bow skills but especially the arrow through two orcs and the...

I'll make this simple: If the members of the fellowship (or any other Tolkien character) went to a modern day college, what do you think he/she would study? Here are some of my thoughts: Frodo: Definately a English Literature major - look at all the book he read Gandalf: History...

(in the movie) In the 1st film, when the Nazgul stopped their horses on the edge of the riverbank, what did they say to is it "Arwin?"??? Did the leader indeed say: "Give up the Hafling, She-Elf!" or, "Give us the Hafling, She-Elf!" Thank you very much!
