    • =\ The movies would be easier to "master" for lack of a better word because the visuals are all right there and they're much shorter and easier to follow at times.

    I don't know about anyone else, but I found the books kind of hard to read and I would find myself skimming through most parts because they bored me. X_x;

    • Some parts of the books are hard to understand, I remember pondering about one sentence that had possibly two meanings and I asked my mum but she's not expert and I got really pissed off...

    • lol people bragging now :p hey I'm a mod for a LoTR site, but yah don't hear me bragging. I've read the unfinished tales Ice demon, I guess you have. Anyone else gone the the exhibtion in london? It was really awesome seeing the props. The books aren't hard, it's just Tolkien puts so much detail into some sections and you can get lost in all the imagery...well I did :p

    *still feels sorry for dwarves* I just felt it they made up reasons not to let them be free. Ooo anyone know any elvish?

    Oh I feel sorry for the dwarves too, not only about their past but how they are now,Gimli is so under appreciated. That's one reason why I suppose if they made a movie of "The Hobbit" it wouldn't do as good as Lotr, everyone likes the elves and men! I like them all, the each have an important part in Middle-Earth. The Hobbit would be good to us, the actual Lotr fans, but a lot of people probably won't like it as much, there's not as much at stake.

    Oh, I wish I knew elvish!....I do know one word though! "Mellon!" Hehe....

    I personally don't care for dwarves :P
    Ents are old but they are not as old as middle earth..they were created when dwarfs were created and came into the world when dwarves awoke from their set sleep.

    • Sorry spelling error........it is Balrog ^_^.
    So are the silmarils red, yellow and green or are they all one colour as i think they are????? I ask this question as i have heard other people say that they are different colours but i never saw that in the books.

    • I'm so happy! My sister (older sister) went on a field trip in school to the Rennisance (I don't know how to spell it) festival dressed up and such. She hade a cape with a hood, she had a dress, and she put her hair up in a majestic sorta way. At first glance, you would think she was Arwen! She looked just like her! Her dress looked just like Arwen and everything. She said she had a whole lotta fun. (My class didn't go...boohoo...) They had joustling and human chess, and a lot of cool things.Some people even wanted to take pictures with her, and when she went into Old Navy later, I bet you know who people thought she looked like hehe. She even said that they had a lot of Lotr things. When she came home, she was wearing elf ears!
    She brought a few things home, and even something for me!
    I wasn't expecting much, but she suprised me when she showed me what she got. She wrapped it in a little towel and extended the handle towards me.
    ......what happened next was exactly what happnened between Elrond and Aragorn in the Rotk movie, except I was Aragorn and she was Elrond hehe.
    Yes, it was a little sword. It's so cool! It looks like Anduril, except there are 2 little sapphire looking gems on the handle. She said I would've had a lot of fun there......chances are I'll go when I get to 11th grade too hehe.

    • Remember ages ago when I said Tolkien got the Ents idea from Macbeth? Our english teacher is making us read that play now...I can't understand what they're saying! It's even worse than Romeo and Juliet! *throws the book out the window, then gasp and dive after it realizing she still needs to hand it back to the teacher at the end of the term*

    • I've read Romeo and Juliet and its really bad so if Macbeth is worse then i really feel soory for u ^_^.
    Has anyone finished reading Lost Tales - i find it to be half as captivating than any of the other books, not even the parts omitted from the Silmarillion i enjoyed.....can u believe he was putting down Telperion in favour of Lauralin????Its insanity Lauralin seems so blah in comparison to Telperion.

    • Well this is defenitely very late but.....
    Rotk won best picture! Wahoo! I knew it would, although Fantasy films aren't exactly whats favored. It also won for best score (I loved that music!) and best Director, but best picture is what tops it all off!
