We're thinking of doing family LOTR costumes for Halloween this year
Aragorn and Arwen with a baby hobbit
Or Mulder and Scully with a baby alien
Can't decide yet

It depends how much oversight Christopher Tolkien has. Heās relinquished a lot of the main management powers of his fathers estate, but he still has most of the creative power. Iām skeptical of how willing heāll be to let them do that to his fathers work, which in turn has become his lifeās work
Chris Tolkien is 94
After he dies who would the creative power go to?
his son most likely
Bro creative genes are inherited my dude
See like in Crusader Kings 2 the genius trait is pased down so the same applies here. If its percent is 25% for each child so we should be good hopefully.

Jawa that is brilliant
Christopher Is pretty conservative with his dads work I also hope he has instilled that deep passion for it in his children
ehhh. CT did (could do?) nothing to prevent the mess that was tired-Jackson's Hobbit trilogy
Amazon put up $250M for the rights to it. I wonder how much ācreative freedomā theyāve negotiated into that contract
I would guess "Most of it"
I would have permitted hobbit movies to be made after seeing lotr bro
Hindsight is 2020
Production was a disaster and Jackson probably kicks himself every day for it
2001-2003 LoTR films were the very best Hollywood could ever do, true. And we will not soon see their like again.
Nope we wonāt. Iām glad we got them. Brilliant adaptations of the books.
I have a class with some freshmen and 9/10 have never hear of LOTR
Its all about Harry Potter
A Hayao Miyazaki "Silmarillion" could be as good. In a different way.
He hates the base tendencies of more popular anime, and always strives for humanity and nature in his work.
I watch all six movies every year around December. Got my gf to endure it with me last month for the first time. I always wondered if there would be a remake, and what it would be like. But seeing how thereās no Star Wars remake, itās making me think there wonāt be a LOTR one
Also, for any LOTR nerds like me, thereās a way to read the whole story in chronological order, which Iām about to do for the first time. Just bought the rest of the books. Check it out if youād like. Iāll probably post this again in the Lit server
I don't think it could be much improved anyway.
I also watch em all yearly.
Yeah the way books are broken up into Frodo&Sam vs the Rest is a challenge
Thinking about starting my yearly read early
