Maybe it's better to leave it until after the moot, my life will be rather crazy until then. But, if I've got a suitable moment every now and then, I can check bits of it on Youtube and see if I can get anything done a bit earlier. In that case, I'll PM the translation to you, so you can add it on t...

Rowan, if I got you a copy of the full series on DVD do you thing you could translate it? I have software that allows me to create and add subtitles to movies. I understand it would be a lot of work, but this is the sort of thing the Internet does best, when like minded people make something availa...

Shooting down a crackpot theory about Beorn's origins
On another site, I've got myself involved in a discussion about Beorn, his nature, and origins. There, someone presented their own theory: I could say that Beorn and his people was the descendants of one of the 3 houses of Edain in the 1st age of the sun. His blood line can be traced to Bëor (the ol...

My, is it that long since they made it? And now, someone's put it on YouTube? :shock: I watched it back then, and it was probably the best that could be done with the budget and time restrictions. A lot had to be dropped and concentrated. Here's what the Wikipedia article says in a nutshell: Hobitit...

I don't know if most Europeans actually do the twelve days in any other way than Prim's family - at least we just keep the tree and the decorations up until Jan 6, and at least I try and take the days between Christmas and New Year off work. And, seems I'm still on time to wish Happy Hanukah to thos...

Yesterday evening, I attended a concert of Medieval and Baroque Christmas music. The concert was in the medieval church close to my home, a place with perfect acoustics for this kind of music. The performers were a female vocal trio specialized in Medieval/Gregorian songs, especially the songs by Hi...

A welcome break from the usual hustle and bustle. I always try to take at least a week off around Christmas and New Year; this year, together with the holidays and weekends, I actually get two weeks off by taking just 5 days of paid vacation. 8) In our family, the religious aspect of Christmas isn't...

He has a reason to be there in that his presence fits the history of Middle-earth. He does not have a story reason to be there. He, Legolas, doesn't do anything in the story and is not a named presence in the book. So unless something like that is invented for him in the film, he would literally ju...

I''ve been trudging systematically through the HoME books for the last two and a half or three years, and am at Vol. 10 at the moment... The series isn't the easiest read, although it is definitely interesting. Some time ago, I also found the History of The Hobbit (HoTH?), and maybe will read it bef...
