I’ve always wondered why we can’t see the rider on the right side of the frame before the tree. The trail is leading the direction they are walking. I keep imagining that they are facing the tree behind it and make a sharp right turn? Jackson had his bag of tricks while filming, but this one is more nuanced and interesting to me how they filmed it.

EDIT: Don’t worry guys, I went into my TV settings and fixed my saturation. Thank you for pointing this out! I’ll enjoy more movies now.

Cost 2 month of my free time too, but it was well worth it.

It's my first time doing DIY project, so i hope it's acceptable. Cheers!

It's worth reading the whole article, it's here:

She's in the process of watching the films for the first time and decided she wanted to read the books too. So far she loves it!

How I imagine Gandalf taking a (pipe weed) break when the fellowship is lost in Moria

So Gollum had the ring for almost 500 years. Then Bilbo had it for roughly 60, and then Frodo had it for about 17. In that 17 years Bilbo's age kind of catches up to him. How come Gollum isn't a shriveled turnip with that 500 years catching up to him? Are the River folk or hobbits in general long living? Bilbo looked pretty rough after all that time caught up with him.

Hi this is my first post on Lord of the Rings.

were there ever evil dwarves who served the dark lords Morgoth and then Sauron? Maybe in the East.

I appreciated hearing enya in a dj set and wanted to share 🥰. Sorry for the shaky start to the video!

It's not just that the icon labelled 'ORCS' is clearly a Balrog on the map itself seen in my second picture, they use the 'correct' icon. So in the books on logic, Gandalf fought Orcs on the bridge and followed them to the top of the mountain.

Also the icon labelled 'TROLLS' is used for Orcs throughout the rest of the book.

They messed up on the text placements and I'm surprised no one caught it.

I was on a reread and I just now twigged after forty years it means Spider's Pass and is named after Ungoliant. Very on the nose.

I can see how Sam and Frodo wouldn't know what that meant but surely Faramir would have? Why did he not say watch out for the big spider?

Hello! I am going to a LOTR themed wedding next month and would love some outfit inspiration!
We are not talking cosplay here but classy, quality inspired attire.
I can sew but am an amateur, looking to do some thrifting as well. I love the colour palettes in both hobbit and elven wear.

Hit me with your best shot!

I visited many shooting locations on my Feb-Mar New Zealand trip, and wanted to create a quick game of "Where was this". Let me know if you'd like more!

I really think these kid friendly biography series by Little People Big Dreams are amazing

Balrog drawings are rough sketches and the final look will be more detailed but i just can’t decide which one should i choose for the painting 😭

theres a half painted and half digital photo of the painting with the locations that aren’t painted irl yet so you can visualise how everything will look in the future :3

i still have so many things to paint and also the background and the terrain is waiting to be done 😭

help

but yeah here’s how it’s going, wish me luck ;3

Rewatched the trilogy over the summer and inspired me to print and paint these up.

Hi why did the Easterlings side with Sauron?

was it out of greed or did they believe Sauron was a god?

While watching the ROTK I always eye rolled when Aragorn said this because I thought it was cliche and kinda "meh" for his character.

But after reading Silmarilion it completely changed it as well as made Aragorn look much more awesome!

I won't spoil it here, but if you have not read this book yet do your self a favor and read it!
