    You know you love an author and his world when you decide to ‘finish’ the work he said that he did not want to write because it would ruin the generally happy ending of his series

      In this case he truly is a subject matter expert.

        eh, every time i’ve heard him show off his expertise, it turned out he knew less than me and i’m nowhere near an expert.

        he’s definitely read the silmarillion (probably a few times at least) but that alone isnt much.

              Shame about Hansi doing that collab with Jon “Jonuary 6th” “Anti-Semitic Banking Conspiracy ‘Theorist’” Schaffer, but otherwise yeah they do.

                Damn, I was hoping I wouldn’t come back to a comment like this. I suppose it’s a given in the metal community, lot of cool people, but a lot of shitheads too.

          He can list all the names of Aragorn, Elessar, called Elfstone! Call me when he’s talking about the recurring themes of ‘The Machine’ which destroys all beauty and life for power and profit

                all i’m saying is, there are plenty of actual tolkien scholars so why not listen to them instead of this fuckwit celebrity famous for pretending to be even more right wing than he is?

                  If someone who actually succesfully wrote fantasy before tried this it would still be graverobbing. This is gonna be pathetic.

      I hope so too. But honestly, I think what is clear is that Colbert has a lot of reverence for LoTR. So, he just might.

    Honestly, good for him. Sounds like a dream come true and his is absolutely one of the biggest LOTR nerds on earth. And it keeps him away from politics.

    New LOTR movie? Singular? No way. They’ll stretch out the Tom Bombadil stuff alone to at least 3 movies and a tv miniseries.
