Like many of you, I am a bit apprehensive about a third movie. The more stuff PJ and company have to invent, the greater the chance they will have stuff I won't like. I'm hoping for the best though. I am guessing that the first film will concentrate on the journey of Bilbo and the dwarves, as shown ...

I would love to see another film based on the Aubrey-Maturin books, which I have read 3 times. O'Brian is my favorite author other than JRRT. The Aubrey-Maturin series truly immerses the reader into another time and place far different from the present. These books are, in my opinion, far superior t...

I first read LOTR in the late summer between 8th and 9th grade. (Then I immediately read it again.) A few months later I read it again in the fall of ninth grade - I couldn't get enough of it. Anyway, I distinctly remember sitting in 9th grade English class daydreaming about how great LOTR was. And ...

Before HoME raised the Transmission question that is being discussed in this thread, I always just assumed that the Silmarillion was essentially Bilbo's Translations from the Elvish although I did wonder why The Sil was so short - Bilbo gave Frodo 3 books of lore in Rivendell under this title. I nev...

I'm finally getting around to posting my initial thoughts on Arda Reconstructed , which I received 2 weeks ago and read over the following weekend (about a week ago). I thought I would first give a brief description of my personal history with The Simarillion . LOTR became my favorite book upon my f...

Elentári - I agree that it would have been great to keep Éowyn's identity a secret until she took off her helmet before the Witch-king, but I don't blame PJ for not doing this. As others have pointed out before, it would have been extremely difficult to keep the audience from learning who Dernhelm w...

The two scenes that I was most surprised and disappointed about not being in the movies were Gollum's near repentance on the stairs (as Voronwë discussed in the beginning of the thread) and the Gandalf-Witchking confrontation at the Minas Tirith gate. These are 2 of my absolute favorite scenes in th...
