The Hall of Fire

Here's a well-done fan-generated 'trailer' for the series...

The last movie I saw in a theater was Dune.

Hmm, yes would really like to know the identity of that poster. The email on that account is NOT the one Jonathan uses when sending out e-mails to members. He uses theonering@enthusiastinic.email. Whoever it is raises some good points, though I don't think Jon would criticize theonering.net and wha...

Was that a typo or a clever and deliberate play on words? Either way, it aptly describes my feelings for facebook :D Quite deliberate. It's my common reference name for that social media outhouse. Some are just comparing it unfavorably to the trilogy. Not that I like the trilogy. Yes, a good many P...

Saw the film, on the day it opened here in a theatre not quite full. Clearly a lot of people are still avoiding cinemas. It’s good! Denis Villeneuve’s heavy and visually-striking style is a good fit for Frank Herbert’s arcane novel. It doesn’t use as much book dialogue as the Lynch version, althoug...

A lifetime ago... ... and the question still remains.... Do Balrogs have Wings? Catherine Bray who was known as 'Elentári' on TORC back in 2000 has made this 'short' on the making of the Lord of the Rings movies: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=4281404101971115 It's also on BBC Arts for those of ...

Quite Uruk-Hai-ish they are. Just slap a white hand on them...
I'm enjoying the series for what it is. I haven't read the books past the first one, so will put up with my wife's commentary (she read the whole series) along the way.

This is a theoretical of course... If the movie was never made back then but was being made today, who would you cast for the roles? Here are the ladies I'd choose: Arwen - Biatriz (Bia) Arantes Galadriel - Amber Heard Éowyn - Rachael Taylor Now for the guys: Saruman - Sam Elliot Faramir - Jordan P...

I read and did a report on Fahrenheit 451 in high school, then after going to a drive-in and seeing a movie called The Illustrated Man around the same time, I saw it was based on a book by Ray Bradbury. I then went on a search and found The Illustrated Man , Martian Chronicles , and Dandelion Wine ...

Didn't see anything on this on my tour through the archives, so thought I'd throw a thread up. I think it will be a very long time before the chapter discussion gets to Return of the King.... This chapter is one of, if not thee most favorite chapter in the books for me! Why? This: _________________...

Obi Wan Kenobi is coming to Disney+ in 2022! This looks pretty good!

As I expected, the Court of Appeals D.C. Circuit has granted Trump a stay. However, the panel is not a good one for Trump. It consists of Patricia Millett and Robert Wilkins, both Obama appointees, and Ketanji Brown Jackson, a Biden appointee. Judge Jackson, who replaced Merrick Garland on that cou...

She didn't think much of the books either, but she has this 'rule' where if she reads a book of a series, she will see it through to the end. Me, not so much.[/size] :shock: I could never stick to that rule! There are soooooo many crap series out there in the world. I've dropped out of more series ...
