*sits in and grabs the cheese and crackers* Hey guys. Talking about how great it's going to be will only make it worse, so I'll sit back, shut up, and get positive vibes from other patient peoples...

I'm not quite sure of the exact place, but isn't it implied in the Sil that the Glorfindel who fell fighting in Gondolin was the same one (born again) who saved Frodo in FotR? Maybe I'm just...

A thought provoking subject if there ever was one. If I understand the question right (and I'm not sure I do), I would say that beings in Middle Earth did have free will, but that Eru knew what was...

Nice Topic! I'll have to jump on the bandwagon, not because everyone's picking them; just because they're really good choices. Elrond, Celebrian, Elrohir, or Elladan. Do you think I like Elrond's...

Well, Lembas is a given, but other than that, I'm not coming up with much. It's an interesting question, though. I can't see the elves growing crops either, but they could've done the 'hunting and...

Tolkien Relations

I’ve been reading through the Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales, and I’ve been musing. A lot of the chief characters seem to have traits similar to the Valar, or in some cases, the Maiar. I’ve...

I was under the impression that when Arwen left, she wasn't going to the havens, but to Lothlorien. She could have given the message to Haldir/Galadriel from Elrond.

My favorite race is definitely that of the dwarves. They're awesome, and I love almost all of their history. *puts a big smudge of white-out over any account of Mim* I especially like the way they...

Most people I know have called me an elf, but I wouldn't be offended at all to be a dwarf. The biggest insult would be being called a human (horror of horrors!) smilies/smile.gif

To clarify if there was any confusion: I'm not a percussionist, I just think they're awesome. I myself am a lowly trombonist (but trombones rule too!).

I know what you feel like, Helkahothion. I have yet to win Hangahobbit because I don't know a LOT of the words. But then again, I don't play it too often.

First of all, I had no idea where to put this thread, so Estelyn is more than welcome to move it.

The other day while reading the "ooh la la, Luthien" thread, I was impressed with the in depth...

*snaps fingers* darn. It took me two weeks, but I finally got the quote (without looking at this thread). But, apparently, everyone beat me to it. I just saw it on the history channel (shows how...

I, too, think that Hugo was the best choice for the role. I only saw Bowie once, and that was in the Labyrinth, so my reckonings on his abilities to portray Elrond well are limited. I'm actually...

I'm not even going to touch on Beren and Luthien since most of you all-time-great essay writers already handled it (especially Squatter).

In reference to Aragorn and Arwen, I was under the...

That'd make for an intense ending of the preview, but I'm not sure if I want them to give it away. I know it's no big secret, but suspense is everything.

Well, as it hasn't been yet, let's continue. (I won't object to the move, though)

At the end of the shoot, how many days were the feet put on the hobbits and not shown on screen?
