Have you seen the They're Taking the Hobbits to Isengard (http://youtube.com/watch?v=Tin6NJqQQsM) video? It's a hoot!

By the way, I love your signature!

Mine are like the Drúedain. Reclusive and unfriendly.

Notably, Tolkien may have based some ideas of hobbits on the citizens of Kentucky:

There's several times where it was said. Gandalf shouted it to the soldiers of Gondor, Theoden shouted it to the riders of Rohan, and Aragorn shouted it (actually, "hold your ground") to the armies...

That's pretty good. Horses can be intimidating to little tykes!

Gandalf did lose his original white staff when the Witchking broke it, but since he obtained it in Lothlorien, it makes sense that he was given another like it after Sauron's fall. (Not that he...

I'm looking around and trying to figure out who you are talking to. Or about.

I honestly feel that all of this is pointless. It's like demanding to know where Gandalf peed while he was imprisoned on Orthanc, or how Luthien could cloak herself in the guise of another animal....

Aragorn was the greatest of living men, of a kind seldom seen in Middle-Earth, even in the third age. It is improbable that a regular man could run the distance he ran. Far more improbable that an...

The shot was present in both, although the screencaps site has all the extended shots, leading me to believe they're all from the EE.

There were plenty of bones to pick with PJ's rendition. The radical departure from Faramir's true character. Frodo's portrayal as a simpering weenie. Gandalf smacking Denethor in the head. Aragorn's...

You might try warofthering.net's gallery or Lordoftherings.net may have one.

I also vote bumping the Witchking up a few notches, since Gandalf feared that he was equally matched (if not somewhat weaker) than the Witchking.

I don't know that I accept Iarwain as Eru. Eru was mightier than Melkor himself; how could the powers of Mordor, mighty though they seemed to moral eyes, ever be sufficient to overcome such a power?

The Eye Sam's Debate and the Voice of Despair

The Hobbit has such a different feel and flavor, as opposed to Lord of the Rings. Yet I like them both in their own different ways. The Hobbit is kind of like the warm bread before the main course....

I am a gamer of a lesser sort; I only play PC games. Which makes me quite unhappy that The Two Towers (and Fellowship combo) was never released for PC. :mad:

I was certain it had been already discussed, under a title like "Arwen not a good mom?" but a forum and a google search did not turn up anything.
