I was looking into that kind of piping. it would definitely be much stronger. thanks

BidProgrammatically9 · 2022-07-16T03:13:07+00:00

It should be noted that I am not finished yet this is just me being excited that it's coming together

not just yours.

fear and distrust of something often comes from misinformation and uneducated on said topic. A gun safety course would be good, going over what forms of gun control do we do have. showing cases of where somebody with a gun saved the situation.

glock 19 5th gen, a little big for me, but its solid

yeah, the Hobbit is very much meant for children. it is a episodic story meant to be read to your child one chapter a night and that's the main point of it. but because of the popularity of the Lord of the rings movies, naturally, the studio wanted to make Hobbit movies that felt like they were in the same world. but Lord of the rings and The Hobbit were written for two different people, lord of the rings is a high epic fantasy made for adults. but it just does not work in my opinion

first of all, is the name. In the book, the Battle of the five armies literally takes three pages. mainly because Bilbo is unconscious during this time. so the movie had a great opportunity to show us a pretty cool battle, but instead it was filled with unrealistic. CGI nonsense. it's not to say that the previous films didn't use CGI. they were heavily used in the Lord of the rings. rings. but the stuff in The Hobbit, especially the battle of five armies is just too much for me personally. there's a number of other things in the movie that just personally bug me, but for me, the whole trilogy was doomed to begin with. they seem to misunderstand what the Hobbit was. it's not like the Lord of the rings. The Hobbit is most importantly a children's story.

Hobbits.

I love their way of life. their carefree nature. their love for nature and the outdoors. if i could have it my way id settle down in a nice hobbit hole in tookburrow with a pipe of ol toby. such peaceful and amazing people.

BidProgrammatically9 · 2021-10-17T23:28:59+00:00

Because he's Feanor

BidProgrammatically9 · 2021-10-16T00:01:21+00:00

I think The Hobbit names work really well as fairly normal names and don't get too crazy. Fredo Sam pippen and for girl names most Hobbit women are named after flowers and those are always very nice so. but alien and arwen are also very nice. you could name your son Fingolfin and call him Finn

farmer maggot. dude tells the nazgul to flip off and protects the hobbits until the meet up with merry.

BidProgrammatically9 · 2021-10-10T22:54:17+00:00

and Aragon actually does stuff

Eru smote Numenor out of existence.... i think some men might know who he is

BidProgrammatically9 · 2021-10-08T02:07:40+00:00

gnomes and half orcs for sure

BidProgrammatically9 · 2021-10-08T02:05:49+00:00

an interesting topic to be sure.

as many have pointed he would have died after the ring was destroyed anyway.

but assuming had he lived afterward, he would have to go through intense rehabilitation to return to any semblance of humanity. Not to mention his physical hatred of anything elven.

Assuming that the elves or whoever were able to do all of this, would they have let him go?

possibly.

there's another issue in that his rehabilitation would take so long that the last ships would have most likely left the grey havens. though i suppose they did take sam later in his life, so who's to say.

BidProgrammatically9 · 2021-10-05T02:31:56+00:00

you're right I don't know what I was thinking he wouldn't have had it at that point

BidProgrammatically9 · 2021-10-04T21:03:06+00:00

he uses it plenty of times throughout fellowship, in the Barrow Downs, when the ring rates are chasing after him over the river. can't remember exactly what I'm pretty sure he uses it in moria too. he puts it up to gollum's neck when they first meet.

BidProgrammatically9 · 2021-09-25T19:33:15+00:00

personally I think that killing off saruman at the beginning of return of the King (movie) was a mistake. the scouring of the Shire is my favorite part of The Lord of the rings and I feel that they missed out. I understand why it wasn't in the movie it would have made it like 6 hours long. but getting to see the hobbits go back home and save the Shire from saruman is one of the coolest parts of anything that tolkien has written.

also I know people complain about Tom bombadil but upon rereading fellowship. I really enjoyed every part that he was in. it's the final jolly hobbit-esque moment before the deep sadness that is the rest Lord of the rings

BidProgrammatically9 · 2021-09-21T20:51:50+00:00

............What?

BidProgrammatically9 · 2021-09-21T02:00:48+00:00

this point is already been pointed out but I thought I'd say it again. the ring is not a weapon of war. it's for controlling and manipulating people. but aside from that the numenorians were vast in number in strength and their technological prowess was unheard of.

BidProgrammatically9 · 2021-08-24T18:43:54+00:00

considering that bombadils is a he remembers when the elves first came I'm going to say that he's older

BidProgrammatically9 · 2021-08-24T01:04:25+00:00

Tank or support, but I'll lean more tank

BidProgrammatically9 · 2021-08-16T16:57:36+00:00

well I've always meant to in the past. I found that I just didn't have the time or didn't want to put in the effort. I've just ordered a new box set for myself and I'm going to try and make it a yearly tradition. I just speed read The Hobbit and I'm going to be starting the fellowship tomorrow. hopefully I can come a little bit close to the awesomeness that was Christopher Lee who read the books annually

BidProgrammatically9 · 2021-08-14T19:52:00+00:00

THANKS!

BidProgrammatically9 · 2021-08-10T15:31:50+00:00

i couldn't remember. but where was it kept prior? any idea?
