Re: Pure Middle-Earth discussion.

[quote=""Fingolfin""]That's awesome! I love it, Thrand! Is the point of view supposed to be looking over the Black Gate, looking westward across Middle-Earth?[/quote] Yeah it's a view looking from the ridge of the mountains of Shadow to the northwest [quote=""Deimos&quo...

Re: Pure Middle-Earth discussion.

So in order to break up the routine, and get out of the house for a few hours each week, I got a bug for doing a new piece of artwork. Never using pastels before, I took a class with my lifelong mentor who has been doing pastels for about 20 years now. I decided to bring the map of Middle Earth to l...

Re: United Cutlery's - The Hobbit - Movie Props!

You continue to make me sick with your standards in UC & Noble products, as well as the items you make yourself! I feel truly overestimated in what I make. If you received my work, I cannot help but feel it would not meet your standards! :angry: Thank you! I can only strive to do better because ...

In Memory of Robin Ladestam

It breaks my heart to inform all of you that our fellow member in the S&F Matsedal, known in our real world as Robin Ladestam was killed in an accident last spring. I have sent many emails to him over the year and recently became very concerned about him since he was not responding. Robin worked...

Re: New Movies

[quote=""Nasnandos""]There is a line in the film where Moses is yelling at the kid and says something like 'why am I talking to a messenger'. The kid is also named Malak in the credits, which is an Old Testament word for angel. Ridley was also asked if he was an angel in an inter...

Re: New Movies

And for those of you who enjoy a well written, superbly cast film that plays out with substance; I recommend The Judge.

There is always cliche drama, and then there is drama as it is meant to be.
I only have two hands to offer a thumbs up :thumbs_up :thumbs_up :thumbs_up :thumbs_up

Re: New Movies

I'm always behind on new films. I haven't seen Interstellar yet, but I'm sure I'll enjoy it even though I've read some of the blackout comments here. Obviously the film grabs a lot from science/physics etc. All of which I e xp ect to be debunked eventually; Though I won't bother stating why (so don'...

Re: The Hobbit

[quote=""Nasnandos""]I never go to Ren fairs. I am not really even an e xp ert knife thrower, although I can throw an axe fairly well when I practice a bit. Here's a youtube for one of my axes from a few years back. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noe3rDUJ0ek [/quote] Now I reall...

Re: The Hobbit

[quote=""Nasnandos""]And no, not in Georgia. Michigan and Ohio. I never got into hunting very much, just target shooting with bows. And knives...and axes...spears, pretty much anything with a steel point that could be hurled at something else :evil: [/quote] "pretty much any...

Re: The Hobbit

So I finally watched DOS EE. I must say that for the first time in this Hobbit trilogy I finally felt like I returned to ME as in the LOTR days. The extended scenes make the film far more appreciable. Another way to say it would be that the theatrical was more like a rushed tour. I'm excited to get ...

Re: The Hobbit

[quote=""Fingolfin""]I wasn't aware it was out of print! It looks like you can still get the individual books pretty cheap on eBay or amazon, but good luck finding the boxed set itself. Deimos, here is a picture of the copy I'm talking about: http://www.tolkienlibrary.com/press/i...

Re: Happy New Year!

Last year at this time I was full of apprehension concerning what 2014 would bring.
Much to my surprise it has proven to be one of my most special years, due to many of you! :)

I'm happy to enter a new year this time
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
:cheers: :horseback :cheering:

Re: The Hobbit

[quote=""Valkrist""]Kit, if anyone could ever claim to be 'a gentleman and a scholar,' you certainly fit the bill. :) [/quote]
My sentiments exactly, I would just add that he is "Tactfully" generous as well.

Re: The Hobbit

You guys astound me with your knowledge of specifics. I will need a new skull for my brain is "Hulking out" :|

Re: The Hobbit

I think one of my main problems is a lack of re-reading Tolkien to the point of understanding the many details some of you possess to mind boggling depth and proportion. I am very glad to hear that overall you liked the 6 films Val. Your review was excellent. I appreciate the time you cared to put i...

Re: The Hobbit

[quote=""Lindir""]I liked the story Legolas went through in the Hobbit. He started off as quite a dark character like his father and through the course of the story he changed. At the end, he isn't completely like he is in LOTR, but there's another 60 years to go. I imagine throu...

Re: The Hobbit

[quote=""Valkrist""]Yes, it is a good sign. Like many, I thought it was easily the best of the three, and I walked away feeling very satisfied as much as I was sad that this was the end (though Kit has me very excited for the EE.) I'm all caught up on the Black Speech, but it kin...

Re: The Hobbit

[quote=""Valkrist""]The.movie has been seen, I am no longer in the dark. ;) [/quote]

[quote=""Jamanticus""]In the land of Mordor where the shadows lie. :D [/quote]
Must of gotten picked up by an eagle :P

Re: The Hobbit

[quote=""Nasnandos""]I loved the theatrical cut, but I think the EE for BOFA is going to be a much different e xp erience. Much more complete and satisfying, so it is something to look forward to.[/quote] I sure hope so. I haven't seen any EE's of this as of yet, so my hopes are ...

Re: The Hobbit

[quote=""Deimos""]Val has very kindly agreed to not lifting the spoiler moratorium until after I have seen it this Friday.

So I guess you have to hold your tongue until then.[/quote]
Apparently it doesn't open in Australia until the 26th, no problem.

Re: The Hobbit

[quote=""Deimos""]So, have you seen it yet? Or are you going to get the degree and THEN see it? ;) [/quote] I saw it today so now having black speech "Piled higher & deeper" is no longer required. I liked it better than the first two. I'll just wait until Val offici...

Re: The Hobbit

[quote=""Olorin""]But once you do see it, you have to come back and read all the Black Speech! ;) [/quote]
Yes you have reminded me I'll be many pages behind (insert palm slap smiley face here)

Re: The Hobbit

I officially missed eight pages of this thread before I came in and thought it would take an hour to read thru, but thanks to all the language of Mordor, half of it wasn't necessary :coolsmile
I have yet to see it.

Re: The Hobbit

[quote=""Finrod Felagund""]Friend of a friend had a ticket for a sneak peek premiere type thing and knew I was a fan. Had to surrender my phones at security to get back after the movie since they were strict about recording devices.[/quote] [quote=""Fingolfin""...

Re: Pure StarWars Discussion

[quote=""Valkrist""]Lots of people keep saying Cumberbatch but I believe it's been confirmed that it is, in fact, Andy Serkis. There is also some speculation that it is Max Von Sydow, who is reportedly in the movies. Cumberbatch needs to go away for a while. Getting sick of him b...

Re: New Movies

I haven't seen Interstellar and will probably wait to rent it. Ive found I'm not quite the movie goer I once was. I'll definitely be going to BOFA, though this series hasn't done for me what LOTR did. The trailer tells me I was right about PJ going over the top on epic battle film. I'm in the camp w...

Re: The Hobbit

[quote=""BladeCollector""]Although the chat is convenient, I have noticed I have had better luck when I call. I just checked, I had delivery issues with Hobbit AUJ EE as well, and I remember getting 20% off credit. I must be cursed by the Hobbit delivery![/quote] Thinking back on...
