Eärendil, for the simple reason that this is largely a patriarchal society we're talking about. :p

If the choice was between Eärendil and Beren, however, it may be a bit more complicated. I...

I often read the chapter In the House of Tom Bombadil from LotR, and An Unexpected Meeting, Roast Mutton, and Queer Lodgings from TH. I admit to my shame I haven't picked up The Silmarillion in a...

I may have liked PJ's Radagast in the Narnia films, but he needs to be kicked out of Middle-earth. Now. Rabbits pulling a sledge and outrunning Wargs? I've never met Tolkien, but I'm pretty sure he'd...

Didn't expect much, but certainly not this little. And knowing the film wasn't going to be great does not negate one's right to criticise it. That makes little if any sense.

My, my, it's been a long time since I posted anything on this site!

Basically, I went to the cinema not expecting too much. Certainly it would not live up to the LotR films, but it would...

I dislike the way people blame Míriel for the downfall of the Noldor - as if Finwë and Fëanor had no part to play in that!

[QUOTE]

Enough to sustain a near-immortal population for millions of years without running short?



Yes, but rarely. I take it you don't like Míriel?

Actually, Tolkien mentions in HoME that sex and parenthood are things that Elves greatly enjoy, even if they have fewer sexual urges than humans.



Where did you read that? I know...

Population Explosion in Valinor?

Been a while, I know.

I was just thinking how so many Elves could be born in Valinor, with sufficient resources for them all to live as if they're in paradise? Seems rather illogical, considering...

Good way of putting it. :) Though I didn't find HP 'addicting', I certainly found it entertaining. Well. At least books 3, 4 and 5. :P The others didn't appeal to me much.

Haha. Frankly, if I met a Disney kind of guy, I would run away and name him a stalker. :D I despise the 'knight-in-armour' idea, because it's so patronising to women. So, we can't be our own helpers?...

Truly? I quite liked the middle three books of HP. I mean, yeah, it had gaping plot-holes, but I had to admire Rowling's flair for creating a magical atmosphere. I would have rather loved it if she...

Lol, I think it's the bully who's really weaker. There's no such thing, IMO, as a superiority complex - just a badly covered inferiority complex.

Galadriel, hands down. Even in the movies - I found Arwen to be rather bland, with little to no personality in her looks. Plus, Galadriel actually does stuff - a definite plus in attraction (at least...
