Balrogs in Middle Earth by Alcarináro
yet another thread from the Lordotrings site which is extremely useful. When I get questions from friends about Middle Earth and lore in ME, there seems to be some curiosity about Balrogs so this thread is something I always point them to.

I don't know, the whole anti-taylor lautner/justin bieber any teen heartthrob isn't my style. I give them props for finding a way to capitalize off teenage stupidity.
Tragic Heroes in Lord of the Rings by Largo
A fantastic article written several years ago on another forum I frequent, for any and all of you interested in lord of the rings I strongly suggest it, it's one of the best.

I've posted the complaint before but it's one of my major complains with the films. Peter Jackson seems entirely oblivious to this concept. In fact he contradicts himself multiple times, we go from Aragorn stating we must always have hope to Theoden crying out "to death."
All that aside the article really gets to what Tolkien wanted.
^Agreed, it's one of the few things that Jackson didn't mirror directly from Tolkien's text. The movie didn't suffer from it, and he managed to add his own blend of tragedy in the form of sorrow and hopelessness with our heroes, but it wasn't as in-depth as the books were.
well apparently pictures of myself aren't well received, so I though i'd go as nerdy as I could. I really love Nightwish and this whole album/movie idea could be really cool. Plus the teaser poster is very cool.
This is fantastic! Thanks for sharing the link to the conversation.
