Banter TRTT Part 13: 2021 Goodbye (To 2022)

[edgie]

I have reservations about the Rings of Power, but being a bit of a Tolkein nut I'll be getting Amazon Prime to watch it. It's supposed to cover events in the 2nd age rather than the 3rd age (within which the Lord of the Rings is set), so we should see some of the intriguing storylines from the Silmarillion (& other publications) that provide the back story to the events of the 3rd age. There is great scope for a butchering of the material, but if nothing else the imagery provided so far is pleasing. So I await the series with some trepidation, and will reserve judgement until I've actually watched it.

From my understanding they have no rights to the Silmarillion, what they can and can't do is quite pedantic.

Yeah - I'm not clear on what they have the rights to, but some aspects they can use and others not apparently. They probably can't use the bits that will make a good movie in future I suspect!

The rights to LOTR are split up and all over the place.

Ay-Oh!

I used to think Bluey's dad's brother and the mum had a thing going on...

From what I've seen of Rings of Power its entirely about butchering Middle Earth. They've decided to fill it with allegory about modern day, things that Tolkien specifically said he wanted to have nothing to do with Middle Earth.

Anyone know what this was for? Bomber's recent post history doesn't show anything egregious - whatever it was must've been deleted...

Tolkien was full of shit when he 'specifically' said that though.

And he knew it.
He knows how art works.

Lol. The good Doctor trying hard to fit Boober out as one of his sock puppets.

Nothing gets past the good Doctor. Are you Pertwee or Baker?

Uncle Neighbour sounds like a pedo name.
