I don't think that Gandalf could have done it. Well at least he would have died as well. Prophecy has a nasty habit of coming true. I am sure the wisest of the maiar knew that. He only confronted...

Isn't there some mention of cold drakes in the mountains even after Smaug? I could be wrong but I would like to think that he was the last great dragon. But is guess it depends on your definition...

Good thoughts about Blog and Azog...I was going to mention it myself. This raises another question though. Does this indicate familial bonds between orcs? Are they not the mindless creatures we...

Maybe the fact that the throat shot is mentioned is that it was an exceptionally good shot...even for Legolas. The throat is a really good place to hit someone why not mention it whenever a...

I ran across this quote of Tolkien (I dont think it is direct but it could be close...it is from Humphrey Carpenter's J.R.R. Tolkien) I figured that it might be useful to here what Tolkien says about...

Boromir might have been trying to stick it to everyone there. "Only Rohan will come to our aid you lazy bumpkins", or something like that. He could be thinking of the various tribes and towns in...

In the Hobbit he also used lightning and fire for protection and voice tricks on the trolls. On another note I think that we are misunderstanding what a powerful wizard is. I think that he is the...

They were also the last reminders of the 2 trees. Melkor's crime was complete with the stealing of the Silmarils. I also heard from a friend that they did have a power of a sort, but it was only...

I would not say that it is an outright rip off. I believe (correct me if I am wrong) that Robert Jordan is taking all our myths (Tolkien, Auther, Norse, Greek, etc.) and combining them into one big...

I was quite disappointed in his screen time. I think he had more in the trailor. It was pretty rude of PJ to show us that great image of him weeping on the battlefield and make us wait till the EE...

I agree HC. Beren and Luthien is the best choice. If the Sil is going to succeed as a movie you would have to capitolize on that story. It would provide a link to LOTR for the non-reading audience...
