... -to-back. That would be crazy! However, now that I think of it not a bad idea!? Each time I watch LOTR I am convicted and think about sin. I like to watch the movie and imagine the ring being a symbol of ... it and made tons of money already on that notion. Here are just some notes on sin I noticed from LOTR’s: Sin is a struggle to the end. No getting around it. Sin will be a struggle until ...

... onto movie critic and my lecturer just needs to reignite my flame for The Lords of the Rings (LOTR). We are supposed to compare scenes in the novel and the actual movie itself. The differences, the constraints and different point of views the camera can take. We are working on the example from LOTR since many people have watched that move. Thus, easy to relate to. In my opinion, ...

... these beautiful, nay exemplary Pauline Baynes cover illustrations. Let me hear you say 'oooh!' ('oooh!'). Click on them and they should become enlarged. This was the edition in which I first read LotR (my mother's old edition, I think). When I discovered it again in a charity shop for the absurd price above indicated I couldn't resist buying it, and adding it to the four ...

Just like we did last year, the Saturday after Thanksgiving, November 28th we'll be hosting our second annual Lord of the Rings Marathon, extended versions of course. 9am - 9pm at our house. If you're interested in joining, bring a food item to share. We'll provide lunch and dinner. Just make sure you RSVP at least a few days in ...

11/21 @ Chicago Battle Bunker Back to back weekends at the bunker, this time it was for the Lord the Rings Adepticon 2010 primer. I don't get to play much LotR given my groups focus on WFB but since I'm bringing My Grey Company to the championships this year, here was a good chance to play in the actual environment. Unfortunately instead of having the 8 signed up over at AWC, we ended up ...

Went and played two three player games of LOTR. The first of them took around three hours, had several children watching for some of the time with their various hobbit and gollum imitations. Very funny, and they seem to understand the principles of the fellowship of the ring easier than us adults, judging by the results... Session 3: Nancy, Wayne, Mark. Sauron starts 15. Score 46, eaten by Shelob ...

So everyone's delighted by Randall Munroe's handiwork on the time-map* of Jackson's LOTR movie trilogy, and Strangemaps draws the (obvious, in retrospect) parallel with Minard's legendary map of Napoleon's Russia campaign. ...and now I want a strictly Minard map of LOTR (book and film versions overlaid, for comparison) - that is, an infographic you can ...

Turbine has just released a new batch of screenshots for The Lord of the Rings Online: Siege of Mirkwood, the upcoming digital expansion to the award-winning MMO, which is scheduled to launch on December 1st in North America. The images depict the new Ashenslades region deep in the forests of Mirkwood. Siege of Mirkwood will expand

Drawn Fandom: LotR Characters: Faramir Words: 100 Written for F_B for my Virtual Halloween Party. At times, when he thinks of his brother, he is drawn to the bastion, where he had sometimes stood with Boromir in ceremony, in play, in quiet conversation meant only for two, as if the pale stone may hold some comfort memory alone cannot offer. Yet it is not his brother who calls to him this night, ...

Everything I Ever Needed To Know I Learned From Fellowship Of The Ring (part 2) A loon is he that will not sing. *** Water hot is a noble thing. *** Sweet is the sound of falling rain and the brook that leaps from hill to plain, but better than rain or rippling streams is Water Hot that smokes and steams. *** Water cold we map pour at need down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed. *** O ...

Someone is recreating LOTR: FOTR with handmade paper dolls, doing all the dialog, taking all the parts. It alternates between painfully lame and quite clever--half the time I'm cringing, half the time I'm laughing! It starts with the prologue, and in what is posted so far, gets to Gandalf's and Bilbo's farewell. Part 1: Part 2: Part 3: I imagine the rest will be posted ...

... . I used to read it about once a year, and I’d guess I’ve read it 20 times. First time through at 11 or 12, and steadily since then. Up until about 8 years ago when LotR::FotR came out, and I haven’t read it since. I should admit that as partisan as I am about the books, the movies improved the story in many, many ways. They did some things wrong that I may never forgive, but ...

If I could I would just post the entire trilogy, but I won't. So here are a FEW of my favorite clips. Keep in mind I have about ten million more favorites, I am kind of a nerd for Lord of the Rings movies. :) I totally picture heaven looking like this. I love this speech, I love how they all chant, "For Death!" Eowyn is freaking badass. ARAGORN! Sam is such a nice fellow. What ...

The girls and I are having a LOTR marathon. Actually, they started FOTR while I was out shopping, but now we're watching TTT. I'm having so much fun, because I've watched it so many times I can almost quote it verbatim. The girls are having fun laughing at me, too. Right now Gandalf is "exorcising" Theoden. It's one of my favorite scenes, even though it's not as ...
