Who would win a fight between Obi-Wan and Glorfindel?

Normally I'd say whoever has the high ground, but Glorfindel did tackle a balrog off of a mountain so that may not matter.

Would glorfindel have survived order 66?

Remember when a few pages back I mentioned that there were many aborted attempts to adapt LOTR that changed so much that it was LOTR in name only, an unrecognizable *******ization of the books? Well, here is one of them. Behold!

John Boorman's LOTR Script.

Featuring Sex, Psychedelics, and Sauron channeling his best Mick Jagger impersonation.

I actually spent an entire semester teaching the trilogy to a group of HS students. Aragon was the favorite of most.

The girls liked Legolas once we started watching the movies.

It was a fun semester.

A military historian breaks down the Battle of Helms Deep.

Very interesting. He looks at the books and the films separately.

A while back he also did a multi-part series on the Battle of the Pelennor fields (it's linked in the article I posted).

There is an interesting instagram vendor out there selling custom state LOTR-itized maps.

When they cut to the scene of Denethor bathing himself and Faramir in lighter fluid, my brother said loudly in the theater "Guess who just got elected Steward of Crazyville?"

Ian McKellen is just an amazing actor, so perfect as Gandalf.

I honestly can't even remember what I pictured any of the Lord of the Rings characters looked like or sounded like, the movies were so excellent.

Other than the freaking dead men of the mountains, and their changed role.

Utilizing a Gandalf shotout in a book I'm writing about cancer treatment.


But it is also a moment where people realize strength they never knew before and find it within themselves to take on the great battle of their time.

I was nerding out yesterday playing Everquest on my laptop and watching FOTR for the nth time and had a question come up.

What is up with the Balrog's wings? I mean breaking the bridge shouldn't have mattered right? Was the chasm too narrow for him to get his wings outstretched? Couldn't he have just flown back up? Are they just for show?

I was mindblown to find out Boromir's speech at the Council of Elrond was written the night before shooting, and Sean Bean had his lines written down and taped to his knee that's why he was looking down when he gives that iconic line -- "One does not simply walk into Mordor."
