HERE'S A LOTR FAN!!!! I LOVE LOTR!!!!

ROFL!! Yea, LOTR is the best, but,... I wish i was living in middle-earth, not in the movies

i know what you mean don't you ever wish youcould be ina combo world of middle earth, alagaesia, and medievil times

I love LOTR soo much, I used to collect warhammer and have the best game for it. Battle for Middle Earth

LOTR will remain a classic forever. Has anyone here read the hobbit, the silmarillion, morgoth's ring?

i read the hobbit and the silmirillian but not morgoth's ring

ya i agree LOTR will never be forgotten

well it's already gone 100 years and it only got more popular after the movies so i bet it will be famous for another 100 years

nah at least 1000. just as long as u keep rereading the books

hey who knows maybe it will last forever and ever and ever

until the sun blows...

well by then we may have come up with a way to transport us to a different planet where we can make a home and then lotr will last even longer

well by then we may have come up with a way to transport us to a different planet where we can make a home and then lotr will last even longer

then that sun will explode, and eventually the universe will collapse but LOTR will still be remembered...

LOL... lord of the rings will probably be like a myth in 1000 years time lol... people will be reading interactive lcd screen books by then I would think....

Well he is right sorta but dont worry acording to scientists(ohhh noo not them... )
we have about the same time from now to the sun going BOOM! as from how long ago the dinos were heres example



dinos---------------------------now------------------------------suns big bang BOOM!


So dont be hiding under anything your childrens childrens chilrens will be long dead before the sun even starts to grow red and swell.

lol... perhaps that would happen... I wouldnt think about it until it did happen though

in 1000 yrs, Eragon wil be classic! maybe. . . . i've read hobbit, fellowship, and i did sum in 2 towers, but i got tired of it. i like faster reads. it just seemed slow. but i've seen every one of the movies. i luv em.

i.e. the difference between adult books and children's novels... adults can somehow put up with the slow stories

i get tired of reading them. i like one iwth gore. this one (inheritance) has plenty of killin' to keep me interested!

adult books are good to read as well... only they contain more dialogue and use more expression which is nice... novels at times move too fast to cater for impatience

i prefer novels, i like quick action, one moment there in a banquet, the next he's killin his enemys.

yes, i think CP went through the
Eldest battle a little quick

why? if he went into detail we would never getany where!

yes you would... it's called reading... when you read you use words to describe events. and good authors use more words to describe events. you will always end up at the end of the story

if you use to many, u lose sum readers. i just like quick action.

yes, but many people like it when they drag it on. thats why when i RP, i blend it together, not just skip events. what CP did was like saying,"Hey look, its Murtagh!*Awsome battle noises* darn i lost, oh well!"

description is not boring, and it is easy to know how much to put - a good author would easily be able to see how much would be needed. Different authors put in different amounts of description and action to suit the particular age group the book is catering for. Children are generally seen as losing attention faster than adults which is why novels designed for younger readers have faster-moving events and are usually shorter than adults' books. everybody has different tastes so I guess it's wrong to gauge how much is 'correct'... it's all relative

if there is a whole page of nothing but desrcibing the floor, that is over baord, agreed?

depends on the reader and the author... if the floor is of importance to the development of the plot it may not be... but in usual circumstances it would sound silly, I agree. I guess I'm not so much against lack of description but too many events coming through at once...

if there is a signifacant thing that needs the floor, well describe it! but plz do nto go down to seeing every atom!

well its obvious nobody would do that - I could just go to the other extreme as well... would you like eragon if christopher paolini finished the book in five pages, describing the characters with a word each and finishing the battle of farthern dur with 'eragon fought the battle, got separated with saphira, ended up fighting with durza, and managed to stab him through the heart, winning the battle and making himself a hero'? no book goes through an event of importance that quickly, so it's useless to try and create improbable situations like describing a floor down to an atom (figurative)

well CP don't have to go down to every detail, let the reader have a little more imagnation!

No, he doesn't have to go down into every detail! But it is up to his own discretion as to how much description will best suit the book. Whatever he says, no matter how well or badly described, will be imagined differently by the reader...

ya, with me if i went down to atleast most of the details it would be most likely very gorey.

lol... yeah but gore is cool to describe sometimes dont u agree? as well as weapons and stuff, makes the story so interesting to me anyhow

In some stories, description is good. It lets you see just how the author wants you to, however when there is little description, it allows you to imagine it just how you want to. The only down-side of that, is if a movie is made, nothing looks like how you imagined it!

Uh! I hate when that happens!!!

Movies suk when that happens

yup.

that is true to a certain extent, but for most books, the most detailed descriptions do not in any way 'restrict' the reader's imagination in any way at all. By describing more, the book gives you more to imagine, if anything. I doubt anybody would be able to find a scene in which description can make all readers imagine it the same way.

so, if CP does good battle descriptions i get a imagine more blood? COOL!

lol do you ever close the book after reading a gory scene and just let your imagination recreate the events with splendour? thats the best part of reading for me

I do that all the time! It makes ya use your imagination!! . . .lol

lol i do that too.. but with all scenes xD

i don't, i emerse my self in more gore!

Lol, your somthin special{sp

heh, i do not know wehter to take that as insult or complement. but i take it as a complement.
hey, wanna know why i am 'special' or 'gifted'

"Every one is born right handed, only the gifted over come it"

i saw that on a t-shirt. and i am a lefty.

Lol, it was a complement cool i have two friends that are leftys.

i am like the only lefty i know, ok maybe not. but it is so annoying all these different things are for rightys!

I love LOTR trilogy... and Legolas!!!!

Why everyone likes Legolas?!?
Aragorn rules!

But Legolas is more handsome!!!! And he's an elf!!!!! ^^

well, i actually think aragorn is better looking! I mean, legolas is a blond elf, bit too feminine for me!

He's old.... too old... I prefer Legolas.... (... and Orlando Bloom.... ).

He's not that old!

caterpillar! Aragorn is a child compared to Legolas! Aragorn is only 87 and legolas is 2,756 years old. Plus im not into girly looking guys, if i had to choose i would choose Aragorn. Did you know that Aragorn is half elf and half human?

My point exactly.

I know Legolas is older for the age, but he looks younger.... However I prefer him!
....And a real elf is better!!!!




ok, now we can talk about something else... Different from "is better Aragon or Legolas?" !!!!!

What about Faramir?

Faramir is very good looking also, much better looking than his brother.
I think David Wenham{faramir} is good looking period.

heh, faramir is insane, following his fathers mad raging wacko battle plan to send him to die! aragorn is not half elf, he is completely and totally heir to the gondor throne and is not elf then becuase he would not be complete heir to gondor throne. and orlando bloom is awesome, he got to do his own stunts! (awesome as in cool, i am boy)

Sometimes you can see that he was doing it on his own like when Gimli Aragorn and Legolas return on ships to Minis Thirit (or Osgiliath if you want) and they jumping out of ship.

Boromir is really horrible....

why? he wanted the ring? the humans are weak in lord ring.

DurzaKiller26 is right, his heart was corrupted by the one ring, and thats why he went all physco on Frodo but besides that he was a nice guy.

I know i right.

One of my fav characters in LOTR is Gandalf, but my firends tease me because in real life Ian Mcellen is gay. They call him{instead of gray} Gandalf the Gay they are so mean to me.

i thought sarumon was cool cause he did dooku in star wars. and legolas (is a girl made of legos!) and aragorn. frodo isnt bad either. and gimli is funny.
"small chance of succes, cerytianty of death. WAT ARE WE WAITING FOR!"
(lotr 3, throne room.)

Frodo would be the most useless guy if he wasn't the ringbearer. what other people would have been able to bear the ring?

Really no one. Frodo was the only one that dared carry the ring, Sam only took after in memory of Frodo so that the quest wouldn't be in vain.

and sam almost sucumed to the ring. but the thing i thought was freaky was when bilbo saw the ring and got freaky and tryed to take it from frodo.

and sam almost succumded to the ring.

I thought it was SO sad when Boromir died trying to save Merry and Pippin. That was one of the best parts of that movie{can't remember if it was 1 or 2, i think it was 1}

i like that style, slow motion ith lots of music

Yea, it builds the emotion of the scene{s}.

Best part of the movies is when Sam and Frodo are trying to get up to Mount Doom.

I like the part in the 3rd movie, where they jump off the boat. AAAAAAAA it's so funny. The orcs freak out and retreat.

i like the part in the thrid movie when legollas kills the elaphent, and when he gets to the ground gimli says it still only counts as one

Ya. I cried so hard at that part. (I laughed so hard I cried.) LOLOLOL

lol, i liked it when the pig faced orc general got scared, when they kept on running at him, after he had took one (1) step to the side and avaded a big big rock, then spit on it, and he gets all afreaid, i liked that part. i also liked it when aragorn kinda fight that ghost king, the G king is all afraid, this mortal man is choking one of the undead.

when frodo and sam climb up mount doom, in my mind I can see them acting in the studio, lying on flat ground and pretending to crawl up an incline. next time you all see a movie where a guy tries to crawl up a mountain, try to imagine that lol.

lol, maybe they made a inclinde plane with the rocks on it and digitaly added lava? ever thought of that?

lol film an incline easily enough, but try tilting the tv next time you watch that part on lord of the rings... looks like they're crawling on the ground lol

they could use babies covered with filth, and dressed like frodo and sam, they could crawl better.

LOL. I don't think it would work though. LOL

i laugh so hard i was crying. for me that was like the best part

lol i hate it when people laugh/talk during a movie. unless its a bad comedy movie

hmmm, i like gimli, he is so funny!

*gimli* "...small chance of victory, certantity of death. what are we waiting for!"

Gimli is awesome. I thought it was cool how at the end of the movies him and Legolas became friends.

gimli is one of the funniest ones

yup

I love Pippin, he is so oblivious to everything, but thats what makes him funny.

yes, pippin is really funny!!!! but i love when Legolas and Gimli arguie!!!

Mary: Don't you get it now? Sauron thinks you have the ring!

Pippin:

I like the part of the first movie when they are all in the counsel of Elrond, and Merry and Pippin come out and say Pippin: "Besides you need people of intelligence on this sort of mission.......Quest.....Thing."
Merry: "Well, that rules you out, Pip."

I laughed so hard!!

LOLOLOLOLOL. I like that part to.

ya, i liked that to
