    The Lord of the Rings (1978) Explored – The Most Underrated Version of #LOTR That the World Has Forgotten #yt

    Many modern fans seem not to like it. I like it :) I do.

    I have no plastic toys from LOTR or anything, and I also don’t care much for the movies.

    In my opinion, the movies definitely have mass visual appeal. Still, the story is the real glue that grounds it.

    I don’t know. “LOTR fans don’t seem to be environmentally conscious—just over-entertained bourgeoisie, obsessing over their collection of authentic Elvish swords made of plastic, participating in consumerism, and not caring about the Earth.”

    I’m not in contact with the current LOTR fan base, so there is nothing I could contribute to that discussion.

    The Ents are my favorite fantasy beings in the LOTR universe: giant, talking tree beings. XD Haha.

    I loved “The Hobbit”, because it is a child’s adventure story.

    I hate the #LOTR movie series. It is full of adult themes, like politics, race, war, romance, and crap.

    Tolkien would probably not have liked LOTR fans. Tolkien was of the opinion that we should take care of the forests, and value food, friendship, music, merriment and simple joys, over gold.

    LOTR fans don’t seem to be environmentally conscious, just over-entertained bourgeoisie, obsessing over their collection of authentic elvish swords made of plastic, participating in consumerism and not caring about the Earth.

    A rough translation is:

    From darkness I understand the night;
    Dreams flow, a star shines.
    Ah! I desire Evenstar.
    Look! A star rises from the darkness.
    The song of the star

  6. Insightful line from Tolkien's Silmarillion.

    “But he that sows lies in the end shall not lack of a harvest. And soon he may rest from toil indeed while others reap and sow in his stead. Ever Melkor [the Devil] found some ears that would hear him and some tongues that would enlarge what they had heard. And his lies passed from friend to friend as secrets of which the knowledge proves the teller wise."

  7. The cockerel is one of a group of five young white leghorns. They are very appealing birds to keep. We used to have a white leghorn called ‘Shadowfax’ so have named these girls Filofax and Tampax! The boy we keep has to be Gandalf the White, just because.

  12. It was a wrap on Lord of the Rings: Two Towers in Concert last night as we rounded out our sixth show - three in Calgary and three in Edmonton.

    It’s a marathon, not a race, but every audience was amazing and so worth it. It was so fun to see all the creative costumes in the audience!

  17. We encourage you to be strange, not only for Wonderful Weirdos Day on September 6 but also everyday! Because being normal is boring and not creative!

    Be wonderfully weird like Isab and Rattio from our underground romantic comedy "What Went Down in Goblin Town?" at Pennsic last month!

  19. August 18 is Bad Poetry Day! But that may be any day when you're the grotesquely lovestruck Rattio in our underground romantic farce "What Went Down in Goblin Town?" at Pennsic 53 earlier this month!

    Check back soon for the full video of this fantastic farce!

  20. How can a knitting book based on Lord of the Rings NOT HAVE HOBBIT VESTS!?!? Lord of the Knits does not have a SINGLE vest pattern even though Samwise Gamgee CLEARLY wears one in the movies!

    They have puppets and MITTENS even though the Fellowship didn't even wear mittens - hell, you didn't get them to even wear hats to stay warm!
    (Helmet doesn't count that would just freeze your brain worse)

  21. #MonochromeMonday and #MountainMonday mashup again!

    The incredible Elpoca Mountain range deep in #Kananaskis region. An incredible place to explore. I took this image while hiking with some friends in 2022, and honestly, hiking this area felt like a moment from your favourite fantasy. My moment to live #LOTR or #Skyrim

  22. My ret-constellation for the #constellation #sagitta was to align it with a modern archer (rather than random assorted Hercules stories or an Apollo killing cyclops story) -- some options I considered:

    Kate Bishop Hawkeye
    Merida from Brave
    Robin Hood

    ... but ultimately, who would be better than Legolas?!

  23. I always thought that #JRRTolkien's #Smaug was a metaphor for the #IndustrialAge and #WealthHoarding. It seems I'm not alone! #Tolkien was actually an #environmentalist and possibly a #socialist (though he describes himself as an #anarchist). Does that mean #LOTR will be banned by #Fascistic #Capitalists? Hmmmm...

    #Dragonomics: Smaug and #ClimateChange

    Posted on February 22, 2019 by Richard Fahey

    Excerpt: "Today, we talk about dragons. I refer specifically to the greedy, northern (often fire-breathing) variety as described in Beowulf and featured in Tolkien’s #Hobbit, and I will consider how these monsters present #EnvironmentalCatastrophe as a direct result of #hoarding and #greed.

    "My discussion of dragons and climate change continues my recent series of blogs interested in placing medieval literature (and in this case also modern medievalism) in conversation with current crises. This blog develops an earlier argument made in a paper at a 'Tolkien in Vermont' conference (2014), titled 'Dragonomics: Smaug and #Pollution on Middle-Earth,' in which I argue that pollution in Tolkien’s Hobbit is linked to both the literal destruction by the dragon, and the rampant greed that motivates Smaug and ultimately initiates the plunder and violence at the Battle of Five Armies."

  24. I believe The Lord of the Rings film trilogy technically passes the Bechdel test.

    The only conversation between 2 female characters is when the little girl asks Éowyn, "where is momma?" and Éowyn calms her.

    That's it. The only conversation between 2 female characters in just under 12 hours of film.

  25. #Introduction

    New to Mastodon, part of the Twitter exodus. Sometimes it takes a colossal failure of a person (Musk) to liberate us from the Tyranny of Big Tech.

    #Agender, #Demisexual, recovering Catholic.

    #Neurodivergent AF. #ADHD and #ActuallyAutistic with #LanguageProcessing issues.

    Love #SciFi and #Fantasy.

    Fan of #StarTrek, #StarWars, #Marvel but also #Farscape, #Stargate, #Babylon5, #Buffy, #LOTR.

    #Queer, but is that really a surprise?

    I lean left politically. How far left? 🤷

    Big fan of #NKJemisin.

    White, middle class, male-passing. Epitome of #Priviledge as I fight to #EndThePatriarchy and #TearDownCapitalism.

    Consistent Troublemaker. Former #Flautist but I sold out to the #Pennywhistle.

    (edit: modified wording to remove inappropriate reference)

  26. A more 'formal' introduction for #medmastodon. A #RuralGeneralist mainly doing #FamilyPractice and #Anaesthesia now as a locum #MedTwitter and #ScienceTwitter was invaluable to me as the guy at the pointy end of "if you have questions ask your doctor". Looking to replicate that here. Also like #Trains #ModelTrains #Skiing #Biking #Hiking #SciFi #Whovian #Foundation #LOTR. #Collingwood Magpies fan with all my teeth.
