Yeah, i've noticed the trend with all of the LOTF profile pics. I just want to know, who here is into LOTR? Post, say yey or nay, maybe if you read the books or not, or whatever. Let's see how much of us Jedi are also part of Middle Earth!

Never seen any of the movies or read any of the books. I'm making a RL comic series called Lords of The Bling where some short guy with pointy ears is in a Jay-Z video talking about who the real h-o-b-b-i-t is.

"Other arrangements could be devised according to the taste or views of those who like allegory or topical reference. But I cordially dislike allegory in all its manifestations, and always have done so since I grew old and wary enough to detect its presence. I much prefer history, true or feigned, with its varied applicability to the thought and experience of readers. I think that many confuse 'applicability' with 'allegory'; but the one resides in the freedom of the reader, and the other in the purposed domination of the author."

Yeah, Tolkien even talked about it, i think. Some people suspected that the burning of the Shire symbolized a certain part of Tolkien's life, which he went on to strongly deny. I think to take out the burning of Shire would insult the memory of Tolkien, because I think he would not have put it there if it didn't have some sort of value to it. LOTR could have just ended with the crowning of the king, but it didn't, and there is a reason why.

The final Shire-part is what makes the books special. The story continues, it doesn't end with the destruction of the ring, or the crowning of the new king, there is still a task to do for the hobbits, who play the most important role in the whole movie, it would be disrespectfull to Tolkien not to include that important part in the movie.

The Saruman scene has been cut from the finale version of the film but will be in the extended DVD. From what I heard, they never filmed the shire scene. Jackson said he never liked that scene so he didnt film it. I could careless if the scene was cut cause Ive never even read the damn books. Nothing against the books mind you. I just personally dig the films more.

I don't think so. I though I caught a glimpse of that scene in a short teaser trailer.

I fear for that.
I've heard a rumor that Saruman is cut out of the third film. This means that the Parley with Saruman scene is deleted, which is a shame, and even worse, possibly the entire Shire-ending.
Is this true?

I'ts Silmarillion, not Silmerillian, though english speakers will pronounce it that way.

It's a genitive, meaning 'about/ on the Silmarils
(Silmarilli-on)
