Pimping - a Good Middle Earth Resource Site

[dlgood]

For folks who are looking for a good cross-reference between Peter Jackson's Movies and the Tolkien's books, I point you to The Encyclopedia of Arda which has just updated by adding a final installment of "Moviegoer's Guide" for RotK.

If you have any questions as to how the books and movies differ, or the specific details or significance of the alterations, it's a good place to start from. And it features convenient citations.

Ooo! You rule! Go you! Yay!

Thought you'd like it.

Now why on earth would you think that?

Plus, I noticed where some of the stuff I'd told you was not actually correct. So, big points for the guys who use footnotes.

Footnotes are great. Love them (ever read Discworld?).

[dlgood.livejournal.com]

Never did. Am repeatedly told that I'm supposed to. Someday, I just might.

Hee. They're funny and thoughtful. I'd recommend them. But I have met a person or two who hasn't liked them, so liking Discworld isn't necessary in being a funny and thoughtful person.

If you do, I'd recommend the Watch subseries first - Guards! Guards! being the first book in it. That has my favorite characters - Vimes and Vetinari and Carrot (as Pterry has said - they can be considered the extremes of Nice, Right, and Good, while being strong and interesting characters in their own right). Vimes is... cynical and lost and has such a wonderful spirit. He's one of my favorite fictional characters - right up there with Buffy and the Hobbits and such.

I thought of you tonight and your posts re RotK.

I saw a NY Post headline talking about the earnings of the movie...

"Return of the Ka-ching".

Pretty funny, huh.
