opinions

A BIG WHAT IF: A discussion on the thread about the Red Star in FOTR, The Ring Goes South got me thinking about this If, again BIG IF, Morgoth was able to witness the time from Smaug's attack on Erebor, to events of The Hobbit up until the the beginning of the Fourth Age, what would be his...

I have recently completed the first in what is going to be a four or five part series of light fantasy/romance/full length fairy tales. It's the first thing I've written in a long while that I have A. actually finished and B. feel reasonably confident in the writing of. The thing is I know that...

first things first, if you offer a suggestion, please cite your sources...It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that when I can't see how you got from point A (english) to point B (quenya), I kinda get annoyed. And off we go! English quote: "There is not so much love in this world...

Been an avid fan of LotR for like, ten years, and I have a strong desire to get my first tattoo in quenya. Actually, I wanted it in sindarin, but quenya is more suffix based, so I think it looks better in tengwar. Here's what I have: I lisselyava, siras yorenyasse. -quenya The...

I've had a Motorola phone for years. I'm thinking of getting something new and different. I see that LG makes a razr-like phone, the VX 8700. Does anyone use this phone? Like it? Hate it? Any thoughts? Thanks.

I am guessing that I should be waiting for the terrifying people in charge to finish doing whatever crazy things they should be hurrying up with to get the R. P. G. sections workable. It looks like there are already suitable places to employ the things, but I am guessing that they will be...

Greatly inspired by Iluvatars thread, I decided to start my own thread, discussing the same thing, but instead of Iluvatars approach, I won't watch the movies and compare them to the books, but instead I'll take a closer look at the changes and talk about which of them work cinematically and...

What will follow will be a scene-by-scene analysis of the movie "The Fellowship of the Ring." Unfortunately, while I have seen the extended version, I do not own it, so my analysis will be restricted to the theatrical release. I'll try to do this once a day, but sometimes life does intercede...

The book is a book, and a film a film, and never the two shall meet!!! PJ tried, came extremely close at times, but overall when directly comparing movie to book failed, yet as a loose and open film adaptation he succeeded ( he missed a lot of the language,culture and finally character...

I've seen the HPotter films several times, but haven't read all of both books even once all the way through. That puts me to some extent in the position I've speculated about here before. After non-readers of Tolkien have seen the films, and found features of them that seem wrong...

Hello, I'm a member of the C9. This group has been in existance for awhile now, but we really haven't been solid or functioning. We've lost three members for differing reasons and are now the C6. We never quite finished up our Charter we were planning to make. We made one decision. We haven't...

What is your opinion?

Originally something really bothered me about the BIG climax of Helm's Deep -- the charge down the hill. What I didn't like is how Aragorn & Theoden and others are in the very midst of this huge army of Uruk-Hai and they both stop to stare up at Gandalf (and Eomer) for a solid 10 seconds...

The lord of the rings was too short!!!! I really wish tolkien could see what a succsess he was coz he himself thought it was too short and if he had lived for ten more year it would have been soo much better. I cried when frodo goes at the end!:(

i realy wish to now the opinion about the movie from people who didn´t read the book mabe you can ask someone or maybe you now sorry my english im argentinian
