Thank you all for bringing up the question. I had never sat down and run through the figures before, so it was quite a treat to realise that yes, Gollum did start to age naturally after he lost the...

Actually, Gandalf suggested Bilbo would start aging naturally after he gave up the ring. This was mentioned in 'The Shadow of the Past' I believe.

Bilbo was older in Rivendell because Frodo was...

Fathers and Sons? You have to dig for that? In which of the Tolkien books is patrimony difficult to find? I don't see how Boyens is going to do much of a job with the Denethor theme, since that was...

Claptrap. The article I mean. Once again I am awed by the capacity of the human brain to function as a veritable dustbin, sweeping up unrelated bits and shaping them - like so many bits of clay -...

Hi Diamond, thanks for the clipping. That does make sense why the editing would be a rough road this time. I was feeling more charitable this weekend as I realized that The Two Towers is really the...

Agreed, Swin. Although I always thought that petition was tongue-in-cheek humor. If you read it (and I have) it's clearly not serious.<P>Not to steer the topic into dangerous waters or any such thing...

I'd say that I agree with a few people here. Elijah definitely looks the part, and he has the charisma to carry the role Frodo. I was happy with his Frodo in the Fellowship of the Ring, everything I...

Lush, I couldn't agree with you more.

If Tolkien were alive to micro-manage Peter Jackson's movie, it would not improve matters. It is quite obvious that Rowling in the Harry Potter films even...

mark12_30, it's the Balrog eyeliner that gets me right there. Wings are where it's at. He has a nice set, you know? Gives new meaning to... oh, I think I'll stop there now.

Yeah, I suggested the Arwen flashbacks be at Helm's Deep. You are quite correct, there was simply too much of her, more than was needed to drive the plot forward. Every time Arwen showed up, the...

Sam's speech needs to be shorter - much shorter. By about 1/2 I think. It needs to feel like conversation, not a soliloquoy. Break it up and make it part of a conversation.<P>Yes, Tolkien does lend...
