Yeah. I think that the "Englishness" point is both stunningly obvious and fundamentally misguided. First, I think that Tolkien had something altogether older and more universal than Englishness in... |

New Salon LOTR Article
Im sure that we are in for a slew of popular press articles in the run up to the Hobbit film. I link for your reading (dis)pleasure an article that I find to be almost entirely glib and off target.... |

This is all subjective, of course, but I just don't view one as supplanting the other. If PJ made god-awful terrible movies out of the books, I would view them as terrible movies, but that would... |

I will reserve judgment about whether it's overkill until I see the movies. I don't really understand the attitude most are expressing, though. Personally, I enjoyed the LOTR movies a lot, though... |

I'll be surprised if it gets consideration for any but the secondary awards (special effects, cinematography, score, etc.). I think the Academy will have a "been there done that" attitude to these... |

No. I'm not overly fond of it. But I wouldn't ordinarily feel compelled to demonstrate in detail that terrible writing is terrible. What bothers me is how many people, including a reviewer on Salon,... |

I realize I'm resurrecting an old thread here, but I just came across this and I feel compelled to comment on how truly horrible this book is. And I don't mean the concept--that is completely... |

I agree that the Dunedain potentially had the skill/inner power to qualify for the "list." But I wonder if Sauron knew about them. He apparently knew nothing about Aragorn, as evidenced by his... |

Very interesting. But I have to say that it raises more questions than it answers in terms of the compatibility of a man and an elf-woman. It seems that elves were tremendously different in their... |

OK. Here's a serious question that probably doesn't deserve it's own thread. What if the movies or some other adaptation portrayed or implied that Aragorn and Arwen had sex? I would say that the... |

In all seriousness I don't know why you would assume that someone would add sex in a tv series. They didn't do that in the movies and they were a spectacular success. But you must agree with me... |

I disagree. An enhanced relationship between Gimli and Legolas would bring a dimension of love and tenderness that only incredibly explicit gay elf/dwarf sex can impart. I feel confident that JRT... |

Wouldn't a LOTR Series Been Nice?
I have been watching, and generally enjoying, Game of Thrones on HBO. Last year, when the first season was on, I bought the first book and got about 150 pages in, but realized that the show was... |

Thanks for the comments and the warm welcome. I have my doubts whether Sauron would consider any "mere" man (someone without at least some elvish or Numenorean blood) as a real threat. So I'm not... |

Which Names Were Worth "1,000 Mail-Clad Knights?
