Fangorn Forest, good for pick-a-nics and casual dates.

Angmar, once run by nasty witches, now popular with daredevil skiers.

Grey Havens, a nice, low-cost summer alternative to Venice.

Mordor, not so scenic these days, true, but still a good weekend destination spot for when ice storm season comes around and you've already done Miami a million times.

There is much more to ME than the 3rd Age

http://corecanvas.s3.amazonaws.com/theonering-0188db0e/gallery/original/beleriand_map.jpg

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quenta_Silmarillion

When Sauron was just a lieutenant of the Dark Lord Melkor, named Morgoth by the elves.

Of the first pairings of mortal man and elves in Beren and Luthien, Tuor and Idril from whom both Elrond and Aragorn are descended. Elrond was a grandchild of the first pairings.

The War of the One Ring is but a chapter at the end of The Silmarillion.

The incest kink types will love the The Children of Hurin.

Glaurung the first dragon who had a train of balrogs as his bodyguard.

Pfft, the 3rd age is shyte in comparison to the deeds of mortal men and elves during the Quenta
Silmarillion.

You're not a real Tolkien fan unless you have read The Silmarillion.

You Titanic is one of those long boring ass movies that I will never watch. Roots too

I read Roots and was good, the Miniseries is on out here this week however... That bad?

My take on lord of the rings... longest boringest walk in history, then fighting

I think choosing CS Lewis over Tolkein was bright.

Read it as a early teen, after reading the rest. Back in the early '80s when all you had to go on for reference in media were those Rankin-Bass Hobbit/Return Of The King cartoons. ;)

Tough slug-through read, but I appreciated the denseness of fantasy in its worldbuilding. My imagination at that point in time was seriously struggling to visualize the Valar and everyone else and since they weren't supposed to be human or elves or whatever, even though artists will depict them looking like Romans in togas anyway.

I have no qualms with the LOTR movies at all despite their warts, because I'm not that diehard a stan for the series and I dig them as creative, colorful, escapist fun fare. However, if Jackson wanted to burn some of his fortune on actualizing The Silmarillion onscreen for a true definite closure's sake to everything, I wouldn't mind one whit. :D
 
Yeah, the first bit is a tough read. Almost biblical. But the stories are incredible. Beren and Luthien has everything a modern movie and audience would love. Wouldn't even have to invent or redefine female love interest.

Here's hoping!

Same here but as long as Tolkien's estate has the rights to The Silmarillon they've said they want no movie adaptations and aren't fans of what Jackson's done with LOTR and The Hobbit.

Oh well, maybe someday, somehow.

Whenever I see or hear Misty Mountains, besides ME I always think of this:

I mean all that slave Kunta Kintay shit just isn't for me. I'm not into movies like that, and the little I seen of it was boring as fuck.

I don't know who CS Lewis or Tolkien is. I don't know nothing about Lord of the rings.

J.R.R. Tolkien was a prolific writer in the first half of the 20th century, seen as the father of modern fantasy. He wrote "The Hobbit" in the 1930's as a children's story for his daughter. He then was inspired to expand the world he created in 'The Hobbit' (Middle Earth) so he began his magnum opus, Lord of the Rings. He worked on it for nearly twenty years. He was deeply effected by the World Wars, serving WWI at the battle of the Somme (a major battle) and in WWII as a codebreaker. Languages were a passion for Tolkien.

All of this is seen reflected in LOTR. He wanted it to be a mythological history for the people of Europe, with their tales and legends coming from a time when they lived in Middle Earth. He even created the Elvish language as a real actual language.

When he released LOTR in the 1950's it did ok but wasn't too popular, it wasn't until the 60's in the Swinging London culture and Hippy movement in the U.S. that it became wildly popular.

Tolkien continued to write his history of Middle Earth up until he died in the 70's. His work, The Silmarillion, was published as an unfinished work and has also been expanded upon by his son. An anthology of stories about Middle Earth focusing mainly on the first and second ages (where The Hobbit and LOTR takes place in the third age) encompassing a grand epic history from the creation of the world to major battles to the origins of gods, demi gods, and all the peoples of Middle Earth and the stories of memorable individuals among them.

C.S. Lewis was a contemporary of Tolkien and a friend. His most memorable works were the Chronicles of Narnia books, the first of which was The Lion, The Which, and the Wardrobe. Popular works with a decidedly Christian theme running throughout.

Thanks. Don't know half of what you was talking about, but I still appreciate it.
 
I'm really hoping someday someone will do a good movie version of The Lord of The Rings and The Hobbit.
Of course, they'd have to actually read them first.

Is this an indictment of the American educational system, or did you drop out of grade school?
