Oh gosh, polgara !. Get me started on the Silmarillion and I may never stop

I STILL wish someone would make a movie of just the chapter, 'Beren and Luthien'. Best love story I have ever read!. I do miss Juan, though..

And, poor Beren! There wasn't a Fitz to correct his missing hand, back in those days!

Are you kidding me, backroadjunkie? Gotta love Frito! (and that other Baggins character too--I'm being polite for the ladies here, they are kinda prudish

) Have not read it in far too many years, though.

Well, you know what you're in for when right in the Foreword, they admit the purpose of the book is to make a buck.

For years afterward, my mind didn't associate the name "Bilbo" with the older hobbit...

Didn't feel like making a new thread on the movie board just to share this:

Anyway, to stay a bit more on topic, I only ever read the LotR trilogy, back then when the first movie had been released. I think I found it a bit... exasperating at times. Still good, though, obviously!

"Sooner or later, humans will kill all the Aen Seidhe. All dwarves and gnomes. Then they'll start murdering one another. Your kind knows no other way. It's in your genes. You keep killing each other until only one remains. The strongest among you. A thousand years from now, a dim-witted human barbarian will climb to the top of a pile of bones, sit down and proclaim: "I win"."

Jemma Simmons: Right? I always think the same thing when I see a movie that was adapted from source material but has been changed so much that it's unrecognizable. Nov 24, 2024 23:08:46 GMT

ayanami: I gotta admit that "World War Z" is an incredibly cool name, but still, seems a bit pricey if you're just gonna ignore the whole rest of the novel.

ayanami: The book sounds really cool btw. It's about one guy 10 years after the zombie outbreak gathering different perspectives from a bunch of survivors, so you have like a dozen different stories/settings in the novel. Plus, the author is actually Mel Brooks'... Nov 24, 2024 23:12:58 GMT
