The Hall of Fire

Ok, just to clarify once again. These pics are not intended to be Tolkien artwork per se. They are illstrations for MERP, Middle Earth Role Playing and as such have to cover all the stuff Tolkien didn't, in order to allow others to game in Middle Earth. ICE really put a huge effort into this materia...

"Assassins of Dol Amroth" if I'm not mistaken.

God I'm such a geek....

I believe Quenya was based on Finnish. The Show is runnong from March for at least 9 months to a year before moving to London. Previews start in February.

yova, if you get a chance, I'd recommend checking out Varrtina as well. They are extremely unusual and "otherwordly" isn th3eir style of harmony and their Finnish lyrics do sound very Elvish. If you check out the links above you can hear a little of the music from the show in those documen...

Agreed Tosh. That section in UT about the Hunt for the Ring and the Quest for Erebor were both excellent. I also love the Epilogue from HoME where Sam is reading to his children from the Red Book. I love the version that ends like this: All the children were in bed. Lights were glimmering still in H...

Interestingly enough, I think Mithril Miniatures have used some of McBrides images for inspiration. He's not credited, but their Celebrimbor figure and their Éowyn Diorama show remarkable similarity to the pics in composition and pose. http://www.mithril.ie/Boxed%20Sets/mb279/mb279f.jpg http://www.m...

I think it's Celebrimbor forging the rings.

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y141/truehobbit/angus003kl.jpg 1) name the artist! 2) find out what is depicted! 3) tell the real story! 1) Angus McBride 2) It's artwork for Middle Earth Roleplaying and isn't meant to depict any particular scene from the books. I think this one might be the cover ...

I'm not sure Voronwë. I often think I could survive with less of the descriptive passages of flora and fauna. When I was youger I would skip over many of the poems. I think many of the things I love most now are the ones I had least time for as a first time reader. I would certainly consider Bombadi...

According to the Producers a soundtrack should be available shortly after the Premiere. I am eagerly awaiting it!

I know there are some more Joss Whedon fans here who might be interested in this news: Serenity And Beyond Exclusive: Whedon on Firefly's future Browncoats around the world cried out in despair when, due to an underwhelming performance at the box office, Joss Whedon announced that the saga of Sereni...

There's no images on the individual layers in Gandalf. Each layer is simply designed to produce the sculpture. It's quite tricky. I got that one two Christmases ago and it took me most of the holiday to complete it.

From the Globe By MICHAEL POSNER Monday, January 9, 2006 Posted at 3:48 AM EST From Monday's Globe and Mail Christopher Nightingale doesn't mind admitting that when he first heard London producer Kevin Wallace discuss plans for a stage musical based on J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, he thou...

What a complete tosser! The very thought of pairing Elizabeth with Mr. Collins is as appalling as I'm sure Ms Austen intended it to be. He is a genuine fool of the highest order and I'm impressed with Mr. Bennets assessment of him and playful teasing of him for the education and amusement of his dau...

Then my distinction stands.

It may well be that I'm working on a misconception. Certainly not on prejudice, if by that you mean a desire to hate the method whether it is valid or not. As I have explained numerous times now, my observation has been that people are not using the MTBI to observe peoples characters, but rather tha...

Freddie Mercury of course. I went to see Queen with Paul Rodgers last year and shed many tears for Freddie during the concert. It wasn't schmaltzy or manipulative, there was just genuine emotion there. When Roger Taylor sang "Those Were the Days of Our Lives" they played some very old foot...

Because instead of telling me what kind of people you are by handing me your MTBI labels to read, I am discovering it through my discussions with you.

Great to see this here TTBK. I like this piece, particularly as it musically recaps for us in the same way the the film recapped for us. I love how the Bridge of Khazad-dûm section is scored identically to the Fellowship version. It cements the images in place and makes it feel like a real memory, w...

I think we'll simply have to agree to disagree on this one, but I have enjoyed the discussion. It was very enlightening and I feel I've learned a little bit about both of you. I've also learned it first hand, through my own experience of you, rather than from a classification system, which makes me ...
