Interview With AuthorThe magical and mystical world Professor J.R.R. Tolkien created constantly inspired people to create something new.

Men that don't cry...have no business being with me. They do other things instead..bad other things.
You know what's worse? My dad called emerging toes potatoes....
I feel so awkward whenever I do that, like I always think someone is gonna come out yelling at me
I use this line all the time. Especially when I'm dealing with an inpatient customer.
No that's when you put the phone down and do something else until both parties can hold a civil conversation
But this isn't fair. Billy Boyd wrote the song himself.
Wait Annie Lennox did music for the LOTR soundtrack? That's pretty cool!
Because the whole quest is about STEALTH. It all relied on Sauron not knowing what they were doing. And a bunch of giant eagles are pretty fücking obvious.
They changed their heu to match their surroundings if you needed to become unseen.
"The Lord of the Rings movies as the 2000s Star Wars" Shullbit. LOTR's dialogue was epic, the pretentiousness fit the story. Harrison Ford's rant to George Lucas in 1977 about SW dialogue STILL holds true: "You can write this sh~t George, but you can't say it!"
I agree, but I think you're unfair to the original Star Wars trilogy. Throughout TOT, the characters are on an epic quest. Only when the mysticism is replaced by mundane politics in the prequels does the dialog become unbearable. Lucas did not become lousy in the prequels, but he did exit his wheelhouse.
Load More Replies...Boyfriend and I just started re-watching the series (the extended director's cut!!!) so finding this right now is perfect 😂 I was a single-digits child when the movies came out, and remember seeing them in theatres. I have fond memories of my mother reading the books to us before the movies came out, too
Have fun! I l loved the extended versions, both LOTR and The Hobbit.
