Yeah, I think I like the Silmarilliian best. Oh course I was once called a geek by an English Lit teacher for admitting it.
It irritated me that Jackson had Arwen save Frodo at the ford of the Bruinen rather than Glorfindel. I guess they were paying Liv too much money to be a simple trophy wife.
and as bad as that was, (she was the worst of a bunch of poor casting), what Jackson did with the Hobbit movies was criminal. A Dwarf falling in love with an Elf? Geez.
Arwen. I have a weakness for big weepy eyes and pouty lips.
I'm a fan. Both the books and the movies.
Favorite character is Legolas. That elf never runs out of arrows.
I believe these two quotes got mixed in the editing.
Btw, for me it's Eowyn. Arwen is the prettiest of the two but she's all ethereal and lofty. You'd be on top of her and she'd be dreaming of poetry. Although if you need some Nazguls washed away she's pretty handy.
Eowyn is solid. She can clean a house and cook a meal. Chances are good that a country gal like her would make a lusty and enthusiastic lover, and ain't bad lookin' in her own right. She would be a steadfast and loyal partner, a devoted wife and loving mother to your children, plus she can kill a Nazgul if needed.
The forum discussed this a while back and someone noted the actual winner was Rosie Cotton, the barmaid Sam marries. She never says a word...
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery. Hit the target, all else is twaddle!
I read the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings series in 1976 when I was 25 years old and an electrical engineering student. Most people I know read that stuff in high school, when they were high.
I saw the movie Lord of the Rings in 2001.
I used a song from the sound track, Let it Be by Enya at my father's funeral in 2012 during the slideshow of him fighting in WWII

I still enjoy watching the movies when I happen across them especially on a gray winter day. I still read the books every five years or so. Reading the books when I was in about 6th or 7th grade really peaked my interest in reading.
Always remember that you are unique, just like everyone else.
No, I do not get tired of the movies. Every year about this time I watch the entire trilogy. I find it inspirational in terms of hope and perseverance. I have always liked tales of a quest.
I don't have that problem Roger....I've never watch even one of those movies from start to finish....only some of the scenery is what will briefly catch my attention...and that is computer generated anyway...
my wife and son, can't ever miss one when its one TV....
that alone proves my son takes after my wife instead of his dad....

People who are lively and engauged do not want to watch the show. They ARE the show.

The lord of the rings is Saron who created the rings.
This movie provides a lot of insight into Dems. Especially when Gandalf explains to Frodo why he can’t take the ring. He says that although he would try to do good, the absolute power given to him by the ring would cause him to do great evil.
Lord of the Rings, and The Chronicles of Narna go hand in hand, ( no pun intended). Tolkien and C.S. Lewis were both "profs" at Oxford and both belong to the "Inklings" literature society, and the group met in the "Rabbit" room . as the story goes, Tolkien wouldn't have finished the work without Lewis "encouragement". Bet they got into some real arguments, as Lewis was a strong Christian, and its interesting to see "parallels in their characters development" in the books, not the movies.

Love the movies. Started with the books in middle school. If I had to say that one of them was the least attention grabbing it would be return of the king. But ALL visually great.
