immaculata Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 [quote name='Circle_Master' date='Jul 13 2004, 12:00 PM'] I recommend 'Leaf by Niggle' along with the corresponding essay 'On Faerie Tales' that Tolkien wrote. It has a lot of insight on why he wrote LotR as he did and his views on life. [/quote] I read "Leaf By Niggle" when I was researching my term paper.. I actually had included it in the paper, but had to cut it because of length restrictions.. grrrr... It's a GREAT story, though!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovechrist Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 [quote name='Carrie' date='Jul 14 2004, 08:01 PM'] I've never seen the LOTR movies, but I am halfway through the first book. [/quote] its very wise to read the books first... that way you will relate to the movies a lot easier. i thought everything in the movies were portrayed exactly how i imagined them while reading the books.

luciana Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 (edited) [quote name='jmjtina' date='Jul 12 2004, 07:46 PM'] you are my twin. I thought I was a loner. my house or yours? [/quote] I'm your triplet!!! I must have been born first ( I just turned 29 ) I had a LOTR marathon w/ my cousin and little sister w/ the first two extended versions the same day we went to see the Return of the King. Started in the morning and lasted all day into night. After the movie, where we cried like babies at the end, we went to an IHOP and talked about the movie till it was time to collapse into bed. Yay, we're not the only ones! Edited July 19, 2004 by luciana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luciana Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 (edited) [quote name='jmjtina' date='Jul 13 2004, 12:26 AM'] ...And when Aragorn heals Ewoyen and Faramir, and their love story and when her brother finds her and King Theodeon on the battle field and more...... [/quote] Yeah...can't wait! They so need the extended version parts..the ending is rushed w/out them. Some things were confusing to my cousin who hasn't read the books. I would be that nurse, too [quote]If they showed the trilogy back to back at the movie theatre, all extended versions, I would be there..... [/quote] Definitely!!!! Us after 12+ hours: :bugeyes: P.S. here's a link to the lifeteen.com Tolkien and Reiligion article that Gunga_Ann first mentioned: [url="http://www.lifeteen.com/lotr.asp"]http://www.lifeteen.com/lotr.asp[/url] Edited July 19, 2004 by luciana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom25angels Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 [quote name='annie' date='Jul 12 2004, 04:54 PM'] What a cool thread!! I cannot wait until the third extended DVD. Don't forget the Houses of Healing, and the sacaramental representations there. I plan on chasing out my family, setting up all three extended DVDs and watching for 12+ hours all straight in a row!!! [/quote] My family would kill me if I chased them out. My 11yr old daughter has read the trilogy twice and their big treat is to have popcorn and watch half of one of the extended versions(bedtime comes first!), my dh and I usually watch the other half when they go to bed.

White Knight Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 (edited) Ive watched the Entire LOTR Trilogy all 3 movies at the sametime, to save time, so instead of having a 9 hour period of movies, I could have it all in a single period of 3 hours and 20 mins. I saw FOTR 2 times I saw TTT 4 times. I saw ROTK 2 times In the Theaters. but since there in my collection now Ive seen them countless of times. lol So it was very easy for me to watch all three of them procisely at the same time. I must say, These movies right here have been the New movie era's highlights. early 00's period. "Asbolute Masterpeice!"
