Tolkien Documentary
(Preview)
Hello friends, I found a documentary that was recently posted on Youtube in three parts. It was originally released sometime before the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy came out. Oddly enough it was hosted by Graham McTavish who plays Dwalin in the new Hobbit movies, so it's pretty funny to see Dwalin...

Presentation of The Hobbit
(Preview)
A couple of months before the release of The Hobbit, I read an article saying that the main challenge confronting Peter Jackson was how to present The Hobbit cinematically. Should he attempt to give it the epic feel of The LOTR and forgoe the playfulness of the book, or should he give it a more cheerful t...

Best scene(s) in the movies?

(Preview)
Well, I noticed we didn't had a thread on this topic so far, so here I ask you:
What is/are the best scene(s) in the movies and why?
I personally would say the scene with the beacons is really nice, because it somehow symbolises new hope, a new chance, and I think it was really well done.
Close behi...

A Major Movire Adaptation Error

In the book, Shelob stabs Frodo with her stinger in the neck. However, in the movie she stabs him in the chest (both shown when he is stabbed and the mark on his chest later). But he is wearing the mithril vest...proven when the orcs take it off him. What do you all think: did Jackson/Boyd know this and igno...

Book Gandalf vs movie Gandalf
(Preview)
When I watch the LotR movies, I often wonder (among other things) why Peter Jackson chose to make Gandalf less powerful than his book counterpart. In FotR, when the Fellowship is attacked by wargs, he uses magic to set trees on fire, and he holds several of the Nazgul at bay by himself on Weathertop. In t...

I made this strategy game as a hobby based on my lifetime love of Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. The game is a cross between correspondence chess, Risk & Diplomacy. The game is 100% free and has a small, but friendly community. If you would like to have a quick look it is http://www.fantasyhexwars...

Why do so many have trouble with the film and the book?
(

(Preview)
The book is too long to include everything in the films, so there had to be adaptation to keep the films exciting.
What I don't understand is, why are there so many purists out there who look at any deviation from the book, as a heinous sin? I personally am extremely grateful for the films, as I would nev...

Over Abundant Insipid Anxiety

The Moral Belittleling of Faramir

In the book he states that "if he found it (the ring) by the roadside, he wouldnt touch it." Whereas in the movie, he decides to take the hobbits to his father, and only when they are in Osgiliath does he change his mind. This change have indeed annoyed me. Why belittle Faramir in this manner...

This may seem a trivial matter to bring up, but Ive been thinking about it a bit. In the books as Gandalf hangs on to the ledge of the bridge by the eye of his teeth he shouts (according to me): "Fly you fools!" But in the movie he whispers the words. What do you all think. Which is the best interpre...

The Hunt for Gollum

Can't believe there is a not a link to it on here already! Its a fan-made short film of around 45 mins. Its about Aragorn's hunt for Gollum over Middle-earth. The actors are different than the other ones, of course, but they are fairly similar. No money is being made off the film at all. Here is the link...

Battle for Middle earth
(
1 2
)
(Preview)
Anyone played this game? I find it very detailed and fun but the new game that has come out - Battle for Middle-earth 2 far outstrips it. I like the new idear of controlling your own command points in skirmish - that was the biggest drawback on the first game.
What are your thoughts?
