moria

From FOTR- "The Council Of Elrond"- Gloin recounting the messenger from Mordor's offer to Dain. Obviously with Sauron, we must assume that he's lying through his teeth and never had any intention of even considering to think about giving Moria to the Dwarves. However, this line got me...

I got this on The Tolkien List, it's very funny. But if you're drastically affected by terrorism, and it pains you to see a parody of it, don't read on. You have been warned. -------------------- Moria Terrorist Attack In a terrifying raid last night, 26 innocent orcs were slain in...

What do you all think of the digital color grading in the Moria sequence? PJ and Andrew Lesnie love to talk like 'well, we wanted it to feel like when the Fellowship entered this place that it just sucked the life right out of them so we color graded it until it was almost monochrome...

Gandalf to Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli. The coming of Gandalf obviously marks the turning point in the war of the ring towards the west. But how great exactly was Gandalfs role in the war of the ring after his return? So Gandalf made a heoric rescue of Erkenbrand and returned at the...

Would've been a great place to work this in: The hope to wed Arwen was part of what kept Aragorn going after the crown. I guess PJ/FW/PB didn't see fit to work that aspect into Movie Aragorn. It would've taken some finesse. BUT, there's a strong possibility that this aspect will be...

from moria to lorien Just wondering if anybody knew how gollum managed to keep up with the fellowship following Gandalf's fall at Khazad-dum. After trailing them in moria surely he couldn't have sneaked (snook?) across the bridge after Aragorn and Boromir crossed but before Gandalf took up his...

In the new scene when the Fellowship is walking along the wall of Moria (outside), and Gimli is tapping on the stone looking for the door, we see that one shot from above looking straight down. I can't make sense of this shot. What are we seeing here? It looks as though they are just walking...

Does anyone know why PJ invented an extra bridge for Moria? The scene is visually impressive, exciting, everything fine (except poor Gimli's two lines!), but why is it there? We are having to buy a new set of DVDs partly because PJ "had to" leave out some of the scenes he liked. Is he saying...

Could it be?

Just a quick question. Why did the doors of Moria have an Elvish password. (In other words, I'm too lazy to look it up myself) ;)

okay-when gandalf falls off the bridge he grasps at the edge, meaning he dropped his sword. In the two towers he said he hit the ICY COLD water. He also says that ever he hewed him. Is this a gap that tolkien left? Could someone explain this to me? Swords sink. I cant imagine gandalf...

In the book Frodo hears sounds in Moria that turn out to have been Gollum following. In the film he sees Gollum, tells Gandalf, and they have a long talk about the role of Gollum, Frodo, and Bilbo in the fate of the ring. This is an added scene, with what sounds to me like original dialogue, and...

Between the first shot of the Bridge and the company reaching it they have to negotiate a high narrow wall, or aqueduct, or bridge, with a gap in it, and we get the beard-grabbing incident. Is there anything like this in the book? At the Bridge, when the Balrog's whip takes Gandalf, his staff...

was the mines of moria the same mines that the dwarves and bilbo wen tthrough in the hobbit? Gandalf said he had been in there before. Was it the same mountain?

I was just wondering since the whole entrance colasped and there was a that noise, why didn't the orcs hear the Fellowship? Where they too far away?

Pippin's clumsyness in Moria I just got an idea fom the thread "Gandalf's anger".This might sound silly but here goes. When Pippin accidentally tosses the bucket into the well,what exactly are the consequences of the noise the bucket makes (what a stupid question,I know:D ). But seriously...

Why did Gollum end up in Moria? He was in Mirkwood being watched by the elves before he escaped. Was he drawn there by something? If he was indeed released by Saruon to look for the ring, wouldn't he have gone to the shire. Did he think he was going to the Shire and just ended up in the...

It seems logical that he would use magic against the orcs but he only uses it against the Balrog? Does anyone know the reason for this?

JRRT made an interesting writing somewhere that it was a possibiluty that the Balrog of Moria was indeed not a Balrog, but Saruman himself! However, it was discarder as Saruman (if he was a balrog) would have died and would then not have been seen later in LotR. However, it is an incredibly...

Yesterday I saw some pictures from the mines of Røros. And the hills made by rocks and gravel remove from the mines. Then I came to think about Moria. What did they do with all the rock and gravel they removed? Sore some was used to build roads, but when you think about the size of the 21st...
