BCanr2d2 Posted November 29, 2002 Share Posted November 29, 2002 At least the LOTR is original, they stole Dumbledore from the annals of Middle Earth..... It is a race of people that Tolkein had created, and JK Rowling uses it for a professor?!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breton Posted November 29, 2002 Share Posted November 29, 2002 Remember that Tolkien did also steal a good deal from different old cultures, for example he stole the dwarfes from Norse mythology. There he also stole mountain goblins and trolls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediNyt Posted November 29, 2002 Share Posted November 29, 2002 He didnt steal pal. The ideas of goblins and dwarfs and elves have been around for generations. Anyone can use them and make their own versions of them. If Tolkien is a thief then Lucas is a thief for making blasters and star ships and telekenetic abilities.

Listen, the guy did steal everything he could get away with. The elven language is based on Finnish. The dwarfs, orcs, elves and trolls are taking right out of Norse mythology. The ideas weren't around for generations - none had thought of it..... ....except them old mythologies. I didn't like FOTR in the book form - the start was so slow it made me give up reading the rest of it. The movie was way better, but not above and beyond every other movie. I liked Ep2 better, and even that wasn't terribly well done. Yeah, I'm going to watch it, but I'm not giving my right arm for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reborn Outcast Posted November 29, 2002 Share Posted November 29, 2002 Originally posted by Ratmjedi My friend Kyle hadn't seen FOTR untill probally a couple of weeks ago. He said that it was good but that he thought that it would of been a little better. So many things that weren't in the film that were in the book from what he said. That's why I bought the extended edition dvd with 30 extra minutes of footage that occur in the books like the gift giving from Galadriel (i killed her name I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForceElf Posted November 29, 2002 Share Posted November 29, 2002 I really want to see it and if i have school that day i may cut class and hitch hike to the movie theater. I tried to teach my self to read and write in tolkien's runes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkum Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 I can't remember if it's Two Towers or Return of the King, but in one of those there's supposed to be over 50,000 different Uruk-Hai, orcs, etc. made with computers. I cant wait to see that. The game is kick- a$$! I have to see that movie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodrodius Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 Blasphemy! Cjais said that the movie of FOTR was better then the book? That makes me want to throw up. FOTR was the best book of the series. The movie was watered down in the story dept and upped in the special effects dept. If Tolkien was still alive he'd beat the movie makers into submission unitl they made it six movies long as an epic novel of such preportions deserves. The thing that made LOTR and the Hobbit special was Tolkiens attention to detail, which is instantly lost when they glaze over chapters in a few frames. All that aside, the movies are, if nothing else, some nice eye candy, and I look forward to seeing how they render Shelob, that should be good.

wassup Posted December 1, 2002 Author Share Posted December 1, 2002 Listen, the guy did steal everything he could get away with. The elven language is based on Finnish. The dwarfs, orcs, elves and trolls are taking right out of Norse mythology. ya but if u had actually seen the commentary on J.R.R Tolkien on the Extended DVD then we can at least credit him with combining and organizing these elements into 1 and creating a epic masterpiece that remains the 2nd most read book in the 20th century (the 1st is the Bible, and thats some hefty competition). On a side note, I really dislike J.K. Rowling. I mean shes made this HUGE amt of money, and like her life transformed from like homeless to instant multi-millionaire, and now I feel she wants to ignore her fans. Where is her 5th book? It was promised like almost a year ago, but now she can't finish it. What is she busy with? Counting all the money that she just earned? And now shes filing lawsuits against other fantasy writers (like that one in Russia), accusing them of stealing her work and thoughts. Well didn't SHE steal Tolkien's thoughts? Perhaps someone should be sueing her? All im trying to get at is that she's really become sensitive and well sort of a |3 | T [ |-|, IMHO. Don't get me wrong, shes a great writer, but she really needs to start managing and concentrating on her work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiRtY $oUtH™ Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 Do you think the LOTR trilogy is going to be like Star Wars was in its time? Like a milestone? Something that will have as a big effect as Star Wars presently has? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something that will have as a big effect as Star Wars presently has? We can only hope. It's already being merchandized to hell and back. However, they really can't make any sort of sequels or prequels, can they? Well, except the hobbit I guess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
