I got 19/20 for FOTR, 20/20 for TTT, but only 14/20 for ROTK. :scratch:

17, 18, and 17.

There were some really obscure questions and many where a knowledge of the book is no help!
“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King

That's probably because they are "how well do you know the movies?" ;) :P

As usual, I couldn't make up my mind under what name to register, so I didn't. :blackeye:
but being a cheerful hobbit he had not needed hope, as long as despair could be postponed.

Yes, I know, but knowing the book does help sometimes on this kind of thing. Except where the movies contradict the book—but anyone who was on TORC, reading Movies, during those years knows all those variations rather intimately. ;)

20/20, 18/20, 16/20.


I did fine with the questions about the films themselves, but when you start asking me what other trilogy did so-and-so not appear in?, I start going :scratch: .

17/20 FOTR
17/20 TTT
18/20 ROTK

Which is weird cuz I guessed way more on ROTK then the others. And the silly quiz shouldn't be asking about the cast's other movies!
