As relevant today as ever.

(I amar prestar aen.)

The world is changed.

(Han matho ne nen.)

I feel it in the water.

(Han mathon ned cae.)

I feel it in the earth.

(A han noston ned gwilith.)

I smell it in the air.

Much that once was is lost…

Does anyone know if LOTR: War of the Rohirrim would spoil the Lord of the Rings trilogy?

I am in the process of showing my fiancé the trilogy, but the War of Rohirrm movie will be in theaters soon.

Until one of my friends sent me this behind-the-scenes photo last week I didn't know that many of the riders of Rohan were actually women which I think is pretty cool.

Lord of the Rings 35mm scan fanedit

Hey mates,

Just wondering if any of you have your hands on a torrent or download link for the 35mm version done remsouille.

https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/The-Lord-of-The-Rings-35MM-GRADED/id/121161

This one specifically.

If not, does anyone have access to the old DrDre remasters?

So been rewatching the movies with my friend who is watching them for the first time.

Does Legolas have a cheat code for unlimited arrows or something? Didn't have an answer for him... :P

BTW, he really enjoys them so far, we are starting RotK soon.

Edit - I know its mentioned in the books that he picks up arrows in battle, but thats clearly not the case in the movies, at least its not explained.

Tolkien

I just watched the movie about Tolkien (Disney plus I think). All I can say is wow. What a moving piece. I loved the writing; the feel. The love between him and Edith. It drives home why the books are one of the greatest pieces of writing. Just wow. ❤️

LOTR Wedding Songs

Hello! My dad and I are both huge LOTR fans. He’ll be walking me down the aisle to Concerning Hobbits. I’ve been trying to see if there are any good father-daughter dance songs that are LOTR inspired. Do you have any recommendations?

Has anyone ever counted how many he ACTUALLY killed? (There’s no way he only got 42)

Is it fair to say that Bilbo is kind of the ultimate hero of the story?

Or, more like, Bilbo was the main hinge in righting the course after Isildur so very wronged it by not destroying it, and that ultimately makes him the humble hero of it all... Actually, now that I think about it.. Bilbo gave up the Ring in the same fashion that he found it; discarded. Except Gollum would never have just dropped it and walked away. It seems to me only a Hobbit (I'm led to believe Smeagol was only "much-like a Hobbit) would have the carefreeness to be able to just drop something unneeded and move on.

The ring also ends up sort of "discarded" in Rivendell, but under quite a few watchful eyes.

Idk, I'm watching Fellowship for the millionth time (and never finished the book) and was thinking about all of this. What do you make of that pattern of the ring being discarded? The Palantir comes to mind next as something that was just kinda oopsied out of someone's possession only for another Hobbit picking it up. There's also the part in the movie where Frodo loses it for a minute to Boromir after tripping on the snowy mountain. Sam takes it straight off him. Lol and at end Smeagol/Gollum also takes it straight off Frodo..but via an inadvertently discarded finger.

*Figured out the core of my whole thinking here: the thing about it being discarded all the time is probably just the ring trying to get back to Sauron, because that's really its entire goal besides pushing his general will to nastiness, and I guess I was trying to grade the effect of the ring on its various holder over time that way, and how that defines them on a good/bad scale.

Something I always lose track of

What powers did The Witch King of Angmar have?

I know he is a ringwraith of Sauron ‘s devising.

But what was he capable of?

WOW

So I rewatched the LOTR trilogy, and my God. Wow! I first saw Fellowship around January 02. This, with VCDs (yeah, that thing that came out before DVDs), the ones where you switch out the disc after a certain amount run time. I was 13 then, and really enjoyed it. However, my 13-15 (I was 15 when I saw Return) just did not grasp how magnificent the entire trilogy was. I loved the massive armies, the buildup to the big fights, but that was it. I still very much enjoyed it though.

Throughout the years, I’ve been meaning to rewatch the trilogy just for shits and giggles but just never really had the time. As in I have a lot things to attend to but not enough time. Shortest of them iirc is a little over 3 hours. Nobody’s got that time to watch a movie unless you really absolutely plan to block off parts of your day to do so.

In the past few days, I managed to do just that. And by God, wow. My now 35 year old brain comprehends what my 13-15 year old brain could not. This was a masterpiece, top to bottom. The dialogue, cinematography, the acting, everything.

Now that that’s over, I’m planning on rewatching the Hobbit trilogy. Or maybe read the book. And funny, I saw somewhere online where someone said something along the lines of (and I’m paraphrasing here) “as good as the movies were, they’re only appetizers to the book”. To those that have read the book or are deeply familiar with the lore, what are the odds there’s more Middle Earth stories to tell (besides Rings of power)? Stories that can be adapted to the big or small screen? What are the odds someone expands further on Middle Earth?

In any case, I think I’m quite ready for another adventure!
