The Passion
Posted by Jevic of Highgate on 04-14-04
Yeah I saw it, and I must admit, I shed a tear..or two. Seeing what my Lord and Savior went through for me, torn me apart. So it was very good!
Trailer Music

Someone told me that it was Paul Oakenfold's "Zoo York." I can't confirm or deny this since I don't listen to his music often, I haven't been...

Jevic, I didn't realize that you meant published fiction, and no, I've never seen any. I'm not so sure if its a good idea to have that out...
A Thing Or Two

Sirindu- If posting non-Tolkien articles was against the rules half the posters would have been kicked off. You obviously weren't reading the forum...

I saw the Passion, and I thought it showed Christ's last hours really, really well. Jim Caveizel is excellent! However, I'm biased, having loved...
Fan Fiction
Posted by Elendur on 04-15-04
I don't see why some of us shouldn't write some fan fiction and post it here. Obviously it couldn't be very long--unless the author posted it in...
Re: the Passion
Posted by Sirindu on 04-15-04
Jevic, Yeah The Passion was a great movie. You made some good points about what was left out of the movie. Although the line "Surely he is the son...
More Trailer Music

Someone else has also told me it's on the "Requiem for a Dream" soundtrack, and I've looked online and the song I mentioned earlier is not on...
...more Trailer Music
Posted by Tuor on 04-15-04
I think I submitted that last article already. Shoot. Anyway, the music is definitely from "Requiem for a Dream", not Oakenfold, but it was...

Books and U
Posted by Tuor on 04-17-04
I, for one, would definitely be interested in another published work about Middle-Earth. Whether I like it or not would depend on how it's written...
Fan Fic and U
Posted by Jevic of Highgate on 04-17-04
For U The Unified Kingdoms of Gondor renewed. Also, yeah I too would be very picky if anyone did continue Tolkein's works. I'm afraid much more...
'u'
Posted by Sirindu on 04-17-04
This must just be 'cause I'm new here, but I have seen Elendur say at the end of his posts something about wanting ideas for "U". Waht is that?
Re: Fan Fiction
Posted by Danny on 04-17-04
Publishers know that to publish fan fiction based on Tolkien is a lost cause. Here is why. Future literature based on Tolkein's world would only...
U: Umbar
Posted by Elendur on 04-17-04
I've mentioned the dead army in several A-Z posts, but I think it deserves one more go-over. The dead army should have helped take the Corsairs...

Hey all. As interesting as it is to read fanfics, I don't think a published continuance of Tolkien's works would be a good idea. Fanfics are...
Fan Fiction-- a Decision?
Posted by Elendur on 04-19-04
Have we reached a decision on the fan fiction? I think so. Let me try to sum it up. As Danny said, we each have our own opinion about how any...

V: Valinor
Posted by Elendur on 04-20-04
I don't know if the rest of you felt this way, but something about the way the sailing over the sea was filmed didn't seem right to me. I think...
Re: V: Valinor
Posted by Eonwe on 04-20-04
I agree with Elendur about not really liking the shots of the ship leaving the Grey Havens in the movie. For me, it's more that the visuals didn't...

I have been reading all these articles about a follow-up to Tolkien's stories. I have not posted in a long time, but this sparked my interest.
Thank You Ashleigh
Posted by Thorongil on 04-26-04
Thank you Ashleigh! If fan fiction were to be made, it would be sold, and we don't need any more commercilazation of Tolkien. If you say something...

Elendur, the A-Z was good, but because you focused on WHAT PJ changed, not WHY he changed it, you made it kinda pointless. We know he changed...
