Performed by: Tyler Michael Jonsson

Contributions to the revised lyrics by: James Michael Spahn



LYRICS:

Nasty Elf bread takes flight down the mountain tonight
Now just crumbses to be seen
A kingdom of isolation
And fat hobbit is the Queen

Our belly's growling like this swirling storm inside
Couldn't keep him thin, Precious knows you tried

Don't let him in, don't let him see
Fat Hobbit, so nasty and tricksy
Revealed, he steals, we didn't know
Well now we...

The title can be misleading, but I couldn't think of another title. lol. I'm not doing an in-depth writing of the contrasts between the books and movies. Not yet, at least.

I just wanted to know if I was the only one that thinks they did it a little backwards. Last I heard, they were looking to turn The Hobbit into a three-part movie series. A trilogy like The Lord of the Rings. But if you've read the books, you would know that The Hobbit should have been one movie, maybe two, and that each of the LotR books should have been made into three movies.

The Hobbit is actually a short book and while...

I just finished to watch once again LOTR. I think nothing will compared with this. I think that Tolkien was more than a normal human. He put himself in this trilogy. With the character's speech, like the Aragorn's one at Mordor (which i like very very much) he tought us something, that there can be peace even between different "kinds", the importance of friendship, of the love, of the solidarity, the importance that we ALL have. Everyone can change things, from the hobbit, to the magician or the elf, everyone. I think that none of all the lenguages on this dear world, not even the one with more beautiful words, can say what i'm proving now, how much LOTR gave to me. I know, this is "just" a book or a film, but even from this things, that look like nothing important, we can learn something, i think.

Lord of the Rings what a classic. There is everything that you need in a movie just to give it balance. You have the tragedies,comedies, the romance, and the adventure. You have this combined with super hot actors and beautiful actresses and you have a movie hit! Lord of the Rings is an amazing movie because it has everything you want in a movie. It is very hard to have a very good director and a very good actor at the same time! But with Peter Jackson's expertise and with Elijah Wood's amazing acting talent, what else should you get? The acting is very good and the animation is very well done....

So, I've seen this done in other spots (like The Harry Potter Spot and The Office), and I thought I'd do it here too!

If there's a new spot that's connected to Lord of the Rings, tell me and I'll add it here!

1. The films moved the partitions between the 3 books. Boromir's death was moved from the beginning of The Two Towers to the end of The Fellowship Of The Ring, while the confrontation with Saruman, the palantir scene and Shelob's lair were moved to The Return Of The King.

2. The films included more romance between Aragorn and Arwen, and gave more emphasis to her character. They also mentioned Sam's interest in Rosie more often.

3. In The Fellowship Of The Ring book, Frodo's flight from the Shire was less hurried and panicked. He waited several months in an attempt to hide the fact that he was...

The only way to find mordor is go to death mountain, a ring of burial mounds, same size as death valley but inverted. Go upstream and the devils gold mines. Around them is a beech tree, I think fell over. Just downstream is a null, the proper entrance to mines of moria. Be careful upstream in a mud hole, at base of mine , is a creature. Don't ever talk to Sam again. The reason Samara Morgan from the ring, is like that, is the ring of power. My property is usga 1, the well from the ring. I a ring boy myself, she slipts it on my finger while sleeping. The ring bearer will allow you to have it, for the right progression to occur. Good luck Lincoln Dunlap, from central vein delta 0.

Top Ten Ways to Annoy a Wizard

10. Insist that someone with "intelligence" must be included in the company (and unfortunately you mean yourself . . .)
9. Complain about the rations of food at Minas Tirith, the "small loaf" of bread, and the "inadequate pat of butter." Never mind the devastating siege going on – a hobbit deserves a decent breakfast!
8. Take part in encouraging a usually "un-hasty" group of Ents to rise up against their unpleasant neighbor.
7. Map? Who needs to memorize a map? Sure, there are tons of them here in Rivendell, but why waste my time on something boring like that?...

"The fallen Vala Melkor shall break out of the Void and destroy the Gates of Night. He will destroy the Sun and the Moon. All the free peoples of Middle-earth shall fight against him. Many will be slain, and many battles lost. We the Valar and the Maiar shall help the people, but our role shall be minor. The fate of Middle-earth will rest upon the Light and the Fire of the Final Dawn."

The Second Prophecy of Námo

Dark storm clouds rolled across the crimson sky as thunder boomed in the distance. The smoke from Mount Doom added its color into the clouds while molten lava sprayed into the acrid...

“Stephanie, go do your LOTR study!”

“Okay Mom!”

I rush up the stairs and into my bedroom, pushing the door closed behind me. The familiar thrill of anticipation flutters in my stomach as I flop on the bed and search for the chapter I’m supposed to read next: The Bridge of Khazad-Dum. Sitting back comfortably, I take a deep breath and begin to read...

The Company of the Ring stood silent beside the tomb of Balin. Frodo thought of Bilbo and his long friendship with the dwarf, and of Balin’s visit to the Shire long ago. In that dusty chamber in the mountains it seemed a thousand years...

Another version of "You know your an LOTR fan when..."

Your AOL screen name is Elbereth.
You can pronounce Nirnaeth Arnoediad.
The opponents in your MS Hearts game are named Morgoth, Sauron and Ungoliant.
You have a decided opinion on the question of the two Glorfindels.
You understand #4.
Your thesis was entitled "On the Valar and their Treament of the Noldor"
When watching The Two Towers, you must fight the urge to scream, "THERE WERE NO ELVES, NEITHER FROM IMLADRIS NOR LÓRIEN, IN THE BATTLE OF THE HORNBURG!
But you mourn Haldir anyway.
It's not "hello", it's "Hail and well met."

I have played most of the lotr game apart from battle for middle earth 1&2 and lotr fellowship of the ring. Anyway onto the games i have played lotr two towers which has bits of the first game in and it is a very well made story line and very difficult at some bits but all in all a very good game.

Lotr return of the king is a very linear game because you can only go one way and it toke forever to complete shelobs lair but when you complete the game it is very rewarding in the fact that you get extra levels.


This only two of the games i have played
1.
Plan: Fly over the Mount Doom on an Eagle and drop the ring in the lava.
Flaws: Frodo might not drop it.

2.
Plan: Create a time machine and stop Sauron from making the ring.
Flaws: That would take a loooooooooooooooong time.

3.
Plan: Pretend to be on Sauron's side then when you’re near Mount Doom throw in the ring.
Flaws: Sauron would take the ring before you got that chance

4.
Plan: Have people go into Mordor and reroute the lavas flow to a safe place where Frodo can throw the ring in easily.
Flaws: The number of people it would take to do that wouldn’t go unnoticed, and won't that take to long...

1. Offer him Visine at inappropriate moments.
2. Mock his choice in becoming an Eye. Wouldn't a Mouth or a Hand be easier?
3. Knock on bedroom doors around Mordor late at night and complain that you had a bad dream.
4. Train his armies to sing "The Ants Go Marching One By One."
5. During secret evil plotting meetings, raise your hand and ask to go to the bathroom in a whiny voice. Squirm a lot if he says no.
6. Tell Sauron "Wormtounge said you're looking fatter."
7. Tell Wormtounge "Sauron said you're looking fatter."
8. Then throw a party and force both to sit through it. Sitting next to each...
