I don’t know who needed to hear this, but the Lord of the Ring Symphony’s six movement orchestral score as directed by Howard Shore is the single greatest piece of music for film of all time hard stop and I will die on this hill! 😤

I finished series 1 of Amazon's Lord of the Rings show, The Rings of Power, tonight and I was very impressed.

To establish my credentials / experience, I loved Jackson's original trilogy but thought The Hobbit was ridiculously long. I'm interested in the books and Tolkien's lore but I'm no LOTR expert.

It is a well told, very interesting, story about the creation of the rings of power. Top acting from the whole cast and some opulent production really made the whole thing zing.

I'm finally watching Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings movies this weekend (extended edition).

I don't  know much about Tolkein's influences, but it feels like quite the mix of various mythologies, hefty doses of the Iliad, bits of the Odyssey, and the Aeneid on the destruction of Troy, all wrapped up in the eschatology of the Book of Revelation.

Gaining narrative meaning from poetry has never been my strong suit. Despite reading The Hobbit several times, I never quite grasped that Misty Mountains is the dwarves telling Bilbo the purpose of the quest, and their grievance against Smaug. It doesn't help that the word dragon is barely mentioned. I can't feel too dumb, though, because Bilbo doesn't get it either. But tonight, it finally clicked. Now I get it, and this song makes sense. youtu.be/f1Vkh1Iy5IA

This is...certainly a take on

Pity those "apostles of modernity" given to “visceral hostility”..."towards his firm resistance to certain ‘values’ of modernity which he, a true Catholic gentleman, never accepted."

@PeterGermany They've removed the word "black" regardless of context FFS. Black is a colour! What else are you going to call it? What on earth is wrong with the word "black"?

Also yes. Talk to kids about it.

Anyone here ever read a science fiction novel written in the 1940s or 50s? I'd suggest doing so gives you a window onto the past. Attitudes were different then and in many instances we don't think like that any more.

What on earth are the literature homogenisers going to do to when they get their hands on his works?

Lothlorien

Kaleidoscopic fractal art made in GIMP. I called it Lothlorien because the design very reminiscent of something made by the High Elves from Tolkein's universe.

"I can't believe I have waited so long to make the change - but seriously, if you're a content creator who really appreciates a chat with truly knowledgeable and supportive people, a much better backend and cooler options than other... services..."

A lovely review from Marcel Aubron-Bülles of The_Tolkienist talking about his move to Steady.

Its so weird in the land of Middle Earth how many times some random vagabond looking dude can just show up and claim to be a long lost king and everyone just sort of...

Accepts it.

> In the real world, racism is false and denies our common humanity, but in Tolkien’s imaginary world there really are different races. In the real world, racism leads to barbaric behavior, but in Tolkien’s story the narrative, and his disguised authorial voice, consistently opposes any gratuitous cruelty to or maltreatment of the weak, the defeated, or even the enemy.
