Lord of the Rings

Here you can talk about Lord of the Rings, books, movies, and other stuff related to Lord of the Rings!

The LotR extended edition movies are sooooooooooooooooo loooooooooooooooong. But at least all the scenes make sense in the movie, in my opinion. It would be bad to put all those scenes in and have the movie not make sense.

I'd hate the movies if that was the case!

I'm doing a LotR literature this year, reading all of the books for the first time...so yeah, I will probably post here a lot in the coming school year!

Hey, good for you guys. Hope you enjoy them.

I haven't read them all yet! I hope you Gals enjoy it!

That's good!

I've seen the movies (extended too) and finished the books last year. I love them! The books can get a bit slow at times and the names are confusing at first, but I would definitely put LOTR on my top books list! And if you liked the movies I'd definitely recommend the books, because they give the story a whole new level of depth that you're otherwise missing out on!

*phew* That was long! So, which is ya'll's favorite of the three: FotR, TT, or RotK?

The Two Towers so far!

Yeah, I agree with Arien.

Sad is bad........... I agree with you Arien!

That's true, though occasionally I like a sad ending. (*stares at shocked faces* ) After all, life is sad sometimes.

True..........

the books are really good, and the movies to. Just part of the books are kinda boring and hard to understand.

I love the books! I had no trouble with them, I ate them up.


As for the movies they are around 3 hours normal and around 4 extended but they are great!!!!


and I am a total LotR Freak.

I absolutely love the movies. I have seen each one 100 times, and I put them on my ipod they are AMAZING!!! The books are really good too but some parts I just had a hard time getting through.

100 times I think is exaggerated...

actually i am not exaggerating well maybe a little bit. I haven't seen each one 100 times but all together I think I have watched them around that. Plus when I have something on my ipod I watch almost every day till I am sick of it. But I never got sick of Lord Of he Rings though, I just thought I shouldn't watch it so much or a would get sick of it.

How'd they Taste?

P.S. I bought all the books for 6$ AU At a shop called Vinnies! (Which isn't as cheap as I got The Two Towers (I got it For 50 Cents!))

Uh I don't know... I could go lick one to find out.

I bought them for $5 in US dollars.

According to my iMac

6$ AUD is 6$ USD and 4 Cents. We're cheaper then you! (I have no idea if that's good or bad...)

I think that's good for you...

I'll just gooooooogle it.

Well It is good for you... it means our dollar is weaker.

I have nearly finished the first book! Which is really sad if you knew I started it more than a year ago...
I have a long list of excuses though!

It's a hard book to read.

i got them from the library on audio book, and put them on my MP3 player, so when i get to a boring part, i can sleep.... but if you really want a good history of Middle-earth, i recommend the Silmarillion, if you have an MP3 player or iPod, i would say that audio books are the best option...

That sounds like a good idea. I might see if the library has it (The Silmarillion audio books). Was it just someone reading it, or were there voice actors and sound effects?

it is just a guy reading it, but he uses different voices, so it isn't bad

Cool, I'll check it out

I like The Children of Hurin... it's really good. Well... I think it was, if my memory doesn't fail me...
