Most folks can't tolerate someone who hums four cubicles over. They are in no way prepared for the amount of singing Tom Bombadil thinks is perfectly normal for a Tuesday afternoon. #lotr#amazon#ringsofpower#tolkien

First panel: Aragorn (US flag) says, "You have my sword."
Second panel: Legolas (British flag) says, "And you have my bow."
Third panel: Gimli (French flag) says, "And my axe."
Final panel: They wave goodbye to Frodo (Ukraine flag) who is wielding a sword, axe, and bow, and wearing Gandalf's hat. Gandalf says, "But do not use them in Mordor! We do not want escalation from Sauron."
Już dawno nie miałem fazy na #LOTR :) Delektuję się zatem lekturą oraz ekranizacją Petera Jacksona, która niegdyś wyklinana od czci i wiary, dziś stanowi przykład doskonałej wręcz filmowej interpretacji dzieła literackiego. Szczególnie jeśli popatrzymy sobie na to, jak różne serwisy streamingowe masakrują kolejne klasyki, z netfliksowym Wiedźminem na czele czy amazońskimi "Pierścieniami władzy" (dotrwałem do końca pierwszego odcinka...).
A wracając do "fazy na lekturę" – podobnie jak nieodżałowanej pamięci Christopher Lee, zwykle wracałem do któregoś z tomów LOTR lub ogólnie tolkienowskiego uniwersum jesienią. No cóż, wiosna też jest dobra – w końcu Bilbo wyruszył z krasnoludami w podróż do Ereboru 27 kwietnia (o godzinie 11:00) ;)
Today my 9yo daughter asked me a surprisingly pointed question about the dwarves of #Moria: if they dug an entire underground realm, where did they put all the material excavated during the process? #LotR
@datarama there was a great joke in Divine Divinity on this:
P: What is the reason for the relatively small stature of dwarven people?
H: It's an economy measure. If we were any taller, we'd have to dig bigger tunnels to get about.
P: How tall can dwarves grow?
H: There was once a dwarf who never drank mead or ale. Poor bugger grew to the height of four dwarves on top of each other. That's why we dwarves drink alcohol from birth - to stunt our growth to a decent size.
These styles of games are not an interest of mine, but I thought it would be nice to share this for the cozy game lovers out there. Enjoy relaxing the The Shire, folks!
I like the novel Dune more than I do LotR, and I think the latest Dune adaptation (both movies taken as a whole) are excellent, and mostly faithful to the book.
But the LotR movies, while admittedly taking a lot of liberties, are so monumental and innovative that they still eclipse the cinematic Dune.
That said, Zendaya probably deserves a nomination next year, for playing Chani in part 2.
@gabrielesvelto thats the one about the boy who gets a letter, delivered by an owl, to go train as a Jedi, to master the power of a dark Lord's ring, on the Starship named USS enterprise, but to get there he has to hitchhike across the galaxy?
