"Both wrong," cried Bilbo very much relieved; and he jumped at once to his feet, put his back to the nearest wall, and held out his little sword. He knew, of course, that the riddle- game was sacred and of immense antiquity, and even wicked creatures were afraid to cheat when they played at it. But he felt he could not trust this slimy thing to keep any promise at a pinch. Any excuse would do for him to slide out of it.

"They will be slain, and all our ponies too, and all out stores lost," moaned the others. "We can do nothing." "Nonsense!" said Thorin, recovering his dignity. "We cannot leave them. Get inside Mr Baggins and Balin, and you two Fili and Kili-the dragon shan't have all of us. Now you others, where are the ropes? Be quick!"

CW: The Hobbit PJ movies fan edit spoilers
1/2
Watching a fan edited version of Peter Jackson's The Hobbit .... retellings.(See, I can be nice.)
"The Hobbit- Ultimate Book Edit | Full Movie"
I've read the book so it's pretty easy to follow.
Unlike PJ's releases this Edit only rarely crosses the bounds into "what utter tripe" so I'm more generous to the Edit when it does. (As if Beorn would let strangers remain in his house unvetted and alive. 😬

Q: Why Were J.R.R. Tolkien’s Works So Revolutionary?
ANSWER: I think people sometimes give J.R.R. Tolkien credit for inventing things he didn’t invent. Tolkien did not invent Elves, Dwarves, dragons, magic swords, enchanted rings, heroic quests, ancient kingdoms, or supernatural enemies. Other writers had created imaginary worlds before The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings were published, and […]

Q: When Does A Tolkien Question Stop Being About Tolkien?
ANSWER: Through the years I receive occasional thoughtful opinions or responses to recent posts on this blog, where long-time readers feel I may have strayed beyond their expectations or – in some cases – comfort zones. Those two areas are not the same (in my eyes). There may be other, unseen boundaries I occasionally cross. Years ago, […]

I haven't had much time to research answers to the questions that readers submit to the Middle-earth Blog this year. So to help me lighten the load, I've started a new series called Middle-earth Trivia (it requires less research). This is this first post in the series: "Little Known Details About Tolkien Elves"

Jane Austen mentions second breakfast in Mansfield Park, published 123 years before The Hobbit.
"Soon after the second breakfast, Edmund bade them goodbye for a week, and mounted his horse for Peterborough, and then all were gone." (Ch. 29)

Just finished listening to the BBC 1968 radio play adaptation of #TheHobbit.The #OneRing sure does a great job of not attracting immediate concern by #Gandalf or #Elrond or any Elves skilled in magic as Bilbo carries it in close proximity to them.
No feeling a #DisturbanceInTheForce here Luke.
I liked this adaptation. #JimMoriarty didn't overdo the character he played. (Gandalf)
Younger listeners can hopefully adapt to the absences of car-chases and dwarf/elf romance.

I've been thinking about dragons lately...

I didn’t realise until recently that #BarryHumphries provided the voice and motion capture performance for the Great Goblin in Peter Jackson’s #TheHobbit, including the songs. What a legend.

#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.
