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!

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

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

I love LotR, I'm always amazed by Tolkiens wonderful mind.

I've read the Hobbit, LotR twice, Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales, Tolkien Encyclopedia and I'm trying to learn Quenya.

LOTR is pretty nice, I've read the books and watched the movies. Still, I'm not that kind who sleeps over at the cinema to get tickets for the premiere, I'll watch the third movie when I feel like it. the books are well written, and the films are good, that's all I have to say. :)

I've read the original novel, The Hobbit, Lost Tales 1 and 2, Unfinished Tales, the Atlas of Middle Earth, the Languages of Middle Earth, The Silmarillion, the Complete guide to Middle Earth (kind of an encyclopedia, but I've used it enough to have read it :) , and the biography of Tolkien By Tom Shippey. Also, read alot of the Articles by Martinez, which are really great, by the way....

Btw, I like Tolkien.

well, I thought I'd put this topic in the Academy forum, since it does concern a lot of us at the Academy. You could make the arguement that it should be in Crazy Stuff, but somehow, I really don't think this deems to be crazy. I'm just curious to see how many in the Academy are also into LOTR.

LOTR is to me like butter is to bread, me without LOTR is just plain but add some LOTR and SHAZAM! I am complete.

The books are even better than the movies. I have read The Silmarilion and also the Lost Tales of Numeonor (spelling?).

Sup,

Based on a Q3 engine some company could probably make a pretty sweet LoTR games,or some could make a mod.

Saber = sword/axe/etc
Guns = Throwing axes, bows, would need more ideas for range weapons
Force = magic

Awesome idea for a siege map, Helms deep.

I read the books, but the films don't work that well. They look K0ol, but the second one could have been cut up to make a fantastic end to the first film, and a gr8 start to the last one.

The Ents really annoy me, why are they there (in the films), they attack the towrer, that's it! All this discusing what they should do, it takes too long, I know it is meant to, but P.Jackson could have given this impression, not played it out in full.:(

I hope the finale is better than the last film, as it really ruins he books for me, as I won't be able to get the films images out of my head:(

Sorry just my own opinion.:P
