Grimbold rose to his feet, standing well over six feet tall.

Another factor in the low amount of mithril found in Middle-earth is probably that the Dwarf-kingdoms of Belegost and Nogrod in the northern Blue Mountains fell under the sea when Beleriand was...

Sorry, "over-obsessed" was a little over the top. I guess all I have to say is that for the purposes of most people, the movies were probably a real cause for celebration and excitement. I know many...

To leave out the Paths of the Dead would really be the largest failure in the making of the movies. That scene is totally essential to the defeat of the Corsairs and Aragorn's arrival with their...

There is also of course the ROTK image of Aragorn which appears on the official LOTR homepage. I don't know if there's LESS hair, but he does seem to have it pulled back for a new look, establishing...

I'd just like to throw in here that I don't think you can call Two Towers an atrocious movie. It really was an excellent adaptation of an "unfilmable" story, with some changes made to the script, not...

I agree. If you think you're a huge Lord of the Rings fan, you should at least read the book. Besides, the movies are more fun once you've got the background of the book itself behind you. Every...

Thanks. That shot wasn't as smooth as the others due to the nature of the action--however, it's amazing what we consider a messed-up shot these days. The whole sequence was amazing, in the Tomb....
