Text - neuxue Okay I know we always go on about Marvel's uncanny casting ability. But if you thought they were the only ones, let me draw your attention to this man: Viggo Mortensen, aka Aragorm son of Arathorn, aka Sexiest Ranger in Middle Earth would hike, often for more than a day, to remote filming locations, in costume, for the sake of authenticity was the best swordsman Bob Anderson (swordsmaster/instructor for LotR, Pirates of the Caribbean, etc) says he has ever trained occasionally writ

Text - Game of Thrones Actor Gets Stabbed in Bar Fight, Orders Another Drink Q EXPAND Sean Bean, the actor who plays Ned Stark on Game of Thrones and played Boromir in Lord of the Rings was stabbed in a bar fight Sunday evening. But instead of going to the hospital, he walked back inside and ordered another drink. Badass! theswolverine: whisperingghosts stardogchampion: Sean Bean is the fucking man.

Text - brainstatic: nudityandnerdery: Remember that time Gandalf convinced the whole party to flee so that he could take out the Balrog and not have to share any of the XP? Shows up the next session with fancy new robes and everything. What a jerk. Best literary analysis ever.

Face - Well, it ismeant to be escapist. "Cause I- use escapism as its proper sense, ojjas a man getting out of prison. JRR Toikien on escapism in "The Lord of the Rings" () "Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisioned by the enemy, don't we consider it his duty to escape?. If we value the freedom of mind and soul, if we're partisans of liberty, then it's our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can!" J.RR Tolkien

Text - why isn't this talked about...? lotrfansaredorcs In the Extended Edition (aka the Only Edition) of the Two Towers, Aragorn calms down an "un-tame-able" horse by speaking to him gently. The film calls this "the magic of elves:" a special elven talent for understanding and befriending animals that Aragorn picked up during his childhood in Rivendell. Acom Film-Aragorn can basically communicate with/understand animals, is compassionate to animals (advising Rohan to let his lil horse go free b

Text - RYANVANG: I love the moment when Boromir dies. All he ever did was whine. On to the Two Towers! Back the fuck up. Boromir is one of the greatest characters in the entire trilogy. His mother died when he was 10 years old, leaving him to be shit on by his batshit crazy father, who had severe delusions of grandeur. His younger brother, whom he loves more than anyone else in Middle Earth, is constantly ridiculed and belittled by his father, while Boromir is put up on a pedestal. He's had to w

Text - lemonsharks: tentaklingon: misbehavingmaiar. lunchbagart. My son wanted to know what would happen if an Ent got the One Ring. Something violent, probably. Stones will break, and roots will squeeze, vines will grow and bend all knees; mushrooms hunt and thorns yolk, weeds strangle and flowers choke. The age of skin is done. The hour of bark is come.

Text - sum1rathertookish Probably one of my favorite random things about LotR is the fact that a) Pippin did a Gollum impression in the books b) Pippin had never MET Gollum before that point and never would c) yet it was an ACCURATE impression, as it startled and was recognized by the orc he was speaking to d) the only possible explanation for Pippin Took's accurate Gollum impression is this: Bilbo, while telling stories to the eager children, must have imitated Gollum perfectly mirkwoodest Whic

Text - brainstatic I'l vote for the first candidate to come right out and say: "no, they couldn't have just taken the eagles to Mordor from the beginning, for a number of reasons. The mission rested on the fact that Sauron didn't know anyone was coming to destroy the ring, because evil underestimates the willpower of good. Coming in with eagles would kill that. The eagles are also servants of Manwe, king of the gods, and after the wars of the First Age and ruin of Beleriand they retreated from t

Text - birdblinder me, looking at the current state of the world, crying:I wish none of this had happened... Gandalf, materialising in my conscience, smiling kindly: So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, besides the will of evil. geekinglikeaboss This is wonderfully helpful.

Text - Fun facts: Tolkien constructed this scene because he came out of Macbeth thinking that Shakespeare had missed a golden opportunity with the "Be bloody, bold, and resolute, laugh to scorn the power of man, for none of woman born shall harm Macbeth" prophecy Being letdown by Macbeth is apparently a significant factor in Tolkien's writing because the Ent/Huorn attack on Isengard was the result of his disappointment that the whole "til Birnam Wood come to Dunsinane" thing was just some dudes
