Q: Why Does Middle-earth Feel Deeper Than Other Fantasy Worlds?
ANSWER: I was browsing a Tolkien & Middle-earth discussion on social media and someone for what felt like the millionth time, “J.R.R. Tolkien was the father of modern fantasy.”
I honestly don’t know where this idea came from. When you get down to it, J.R.R. Tolkien wasn’t particularly original in his concepts. His goal was not to […]

I occasionally write features for Engineering NZ's quarterly publication, EG Magazine. For the most recent issue, I got to interview three of the team at WētāFX, for an article to mark 25 years since the release of the first Lord of the Rings movie 🤯 (pg16) #nz #vfx #lotr #lotr25 #scicomm

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.

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."

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.

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!

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?!

Continuing my #Tolkien #ReRead with #LostTales vol. 1.
The Gnomes have crossed the ice, & the sun & moon ships are finally sailing the heavens.
Eriol's inexplicable desire for mythic exposition continues unabated.

#Grades are posted! Let the vacation work commence!
With any luck, we'll finally get to finish the next #podcast episode in our #EyeofSauron series. It's on #ChristianNationalism in the wake of #PeterJackson's #LordoftheRings films.
And hopefully I'll finally get to writing that book chapter on #Tolkien & the far right that I've had to put off for the last...
What year is it?

An offset to the end-of-term, #grading blues was finishing my #HobbitReRead over the weekend. Delightful as always.
The true unsung hero, of course, was the thrush.
Now I'm finishing my #UnfinishedTales #ReRead. I'd totally forgotten that the Blue Wizards, who were lost in Rhûn, had names in Valinor.
If only we had their stories.

Dropping tags for #AmericanId 's ongoing #podcast series, #EyeofSauron, on #Tolkien & the #American political right.
We use the #history of #LOTR's right-wing #fandom to tell the story of how #RightWing activists spent decades bringing #America to the brink of #autocracy.
