The Hall of Fire

cemthinae-- Bolg, I hope you don't mind that I browsed the rest of your pictures! It's this... habit, I have! Your pugs & golden are adorable! Thank you, cemthinae, I haven't been on this board for about a month and missed a ton of posts. I like to check out others' photos as well, it attaches ...

Yesterday, as I went to the library to return some books, I went to pick up a Bernard Cornwell book and decided to check what they had for Tolkien. Sure enough, there was the exact version you spoke of. I picked it up to see if it had Beorn in it and I wanted to see what Bolg looked like. :D After l...

*Bolg brushes the dust off of this thread and begins to type* Of all the dozens of passages that I rate in my 'top 20', this one came to the forefront recently after re-reading Appendix A ( Gondor and the heirs of Anárion, ) LotR. ( after not having read them for a long time. ) ' But it is said that...

Almost every Tolkien artist that I've seen gets something right. Apart from the two immortals among Tolkien artists, I would give my nod to Ted Nasmith. What I have noticed with most of the artists that I viewed at this gallery is that when it comes to scenery, most are able to get it right, at lea...

"There can never be enough Bombadil!" is an excellent title and says it all for me. Chapters 5-8 remain one of my favourite sections of the story. To me it is not just the meeting and visiting with Old Tom that makes it enjoyable, ( although that in itself is stands alone perfectly ) but t...

Hello, Alatar. Where did you find that article ?

Hey there, TIG. The armor is getting a little shabby. As a rule, it only gets cleaned once a month, whether it needs it or not.

Ps. Artie reminded me when he posted, I meant to ask, are there really such things as Heffalumps and Woozels ?

In the movie, I loved Moria as a visual spectacle, ( being one of my top 5 passages in the Book, ) but some of the minor changes started to add up for me. It did not ruin the sequence for me, but rather left me feeling as if they were ready to score big and had to settle for a field goal. Of course,...

Thanks for the information, Jnyusa and truehobbit I saw some familiar names there. Permit me one last question, or at least confirm what seems to be apparent to me already. A signature pic is an automatic feature at this site ? I have never been called Captain Obvious before, but now may be the perf...

What, precisely, is this mysterious B77

Only if they have ropes and grappling hooks

Strange cloud formation

My wishlist for the Hobbit is short, just 2 items. ( don't expect much and you won't be disappointed ) ;) 1. If PJ & company do work on the movie, no goblins climbing the walls like spiders. 2. Include the 'chance meeting' of Gandalf and Thorin in Bree that is written about in Appendix A part II...

* Salutes artie, Anthriel, Primula Baggins, Jnyusa, Voronwë_the_Faithful, and anyone else I may have left out.

S-n-L, your really not in a bad way in that game; I have a co-worker from DHL who beats me like a drum from Chessworld.

My record against him is sad= 7wins-25 losses

Is that perchance the Fir Bolg of yore?

No, it is the 'Bolg' from Chapter 17 of the Hobbit, who succeeded the Great Goblin.

Hello and greetings to all here. I was referred by truehobbit from TORc...

I shall have a look around

Das ist wunderbar !! How is my German ?
