I knew there were a lot of revisions to The Hobbit, but idk if I'd heard of that specifically! I will have to look into that, it sounds very interesting.

My favorite Tolkien books would have to be The Fellowship of the Ring and The Children of Hurin :)

Ah I love this! That is so true!!!

Welcome everyone!!! Krystal i have ADHD too so i feel your pain lol

Also if they can't bring back the og actors it just won't be the same.

I'm excited but also a little apprehensive- it will either be really good or a complete failure :/

The silmarillion is amazing! It can be alittle hard to get through at times because there's not a whole lot of dialogue, but it gives a lot of perspective on LOTR and other books in the series! So I definitely would recommend :)

Welcome Em and Cees!!!!

Ah yes the Shire is so amazing :D

And they zoom in on the tomatoes 💀💀

Ok so halfway through The Return of the King movie and I have to rant. WHY DID THEY MAKE THEODEN AND DENETHOR ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING?!?!?!?

Ok, ok, Theoden isn't disgusting but he has SERIOUS ego issues 😭😭

And Denethor.... Jonathon I agree with your brother on this one 😝 What was with the whole tomato scene anyway?!?!? He's literally sending Faramir quite possibly to his death while just sitting there eating 🤢

Sooo…. Does anyone have thoughts on the first few chapters of the hobbit? For my part, I really enjoy the descriptive imagery in ch. 1 😌

Ahhhh yess Legolas is so cool. I really like how they portrayed him in the movies as well 😁

The part in the Two Towers where he like snowboards down the stairs on the orc shield is amazing 😂

Hahaha 😁

Correct! 😁

I can't wait as I'm finally going to watch The Return of the King tonight 🤩
I've been slowly getting through the movies ( like one a week) since they're so long and I can't wait to watch TRK because everyone says it's the best one. Which is hard to imagine because the first two were AMAZING.

That's a good one! Probably my favorite quote besides "Moonlight drowns out all but the brightest stars" would be this one from Gandalf in LOTR:
“Deserves it! I daresay he does. Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.”
