It says that they asked if he wanted to be involved. He wanted to see the scripts. They weren't written yet. When they were, he didn't receive them. Whoever was in charge of that probably forgot, or changed their minds.

Besides, Jackson isn't the be all and end all. This is the man who approved of that bloody terrible Faramir change. And that stupid moment approaching Cirith Ungol. Furthermore, even though the Hobbit nonsense was ordered by the studio, he was the one who chose to go through with it. Clearly whoever was in charge at Amazon knew that and decided to make no more than a token gesture.

I'm fine with Jackson not being involved, but they probably didn't want him around because he would want to follow Tolkien more closely.  I'm a purist, and there was plenty of changes Jackson made that I didn't care for.  However, he probably did as good a job of adapting LOTR as anyone could have. 

Originally I didn't want Jackson involved, because I wanted to see how someone else imagined middle earth.  Of course, I didn't expect someone to rewrite it the way Amazon appears to have done.  Whatever this is, it isn't Tolkien.  As the trailer says, it's based on Tolkien.

So Amazon will be dropping episodes later than usual starting in week 2? I wonder if that's just for this show or if they will start doing that with all their shows. I am in The Netherlands and I am usually an early riser. I liked having new Amazon episodes available to watch when I wake up early. Now I'll have to wait until 6.00 to watch the new episodes. At least they are still earlier than Netflix.

I'm in Australia. The time listed is EST, except, daylight savings starts during that period. However! I'm in WAST, and we don't have DST at all. Boy, that's confusing. I love stories, not numbers. Will I start getting them an hour later? Probably not.

In other news, I dropped my replica of the One Ring off for polishing today. It'll be all nice and shiny for September!

Tickets, which are available only to Cinemark Movie Rewards members, will be available, starting at 11:00 AM CST. on Aug. 22, to reserve a free ticket(s) (this is not very clear) that comes with a $10 snack voucher to watch the first two episodes of The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power at your neighborhood/nearby theater at 7:00 PM on August 31, 2022. This is an one-night-only global event where screenings will occur in a variety of places, like the United Kingdom, Ireland, Argentina, Colombia, Australia and New Zealand.

I'm not good with maths, but by my count we're nine days out. For those who didn't manage to snag a screening. By the time I learned which cinema would have it and how I could get there, the tickets were all gone. :(

Nine is the number of rings for mortal men doomed to die. Nine members of the fellowship, unless you count Bill the pony as number ten.

Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone.

Really looking forward to seeing Khazad-dûm in better years. Be interesting to see how they can make it look different from dwarf architecture seen in stuff like Warhammer, Warcraft, and Dragon Age. How different can you make it, while still looking dwarven? I really don't envy the design team trying to find a solution to that problem.

  • Love 2

Six members of the fellowship still remained in Middle-earth after Frodo and Gandalf sailed west on the last ship. Unless you count the other vessels that went later, or Bill the Pony.

We will probably see the Grey Havens in better times. I can't even remember if Círdan has been cast.

Anyway, I think there's a wider range of elven architecture out there. It doesn't all look as similar as the dwarves do.

I'm loving your countdown, Anduin.  Nicely done.

Thanks! Happy to hear I'm entertaining someone other than myself. :)

Perhaps I should tell the producers about Coober Pedy.* It's an opal mining town in South Australia, where the locals excavate homes for themselves to regulate the temperature. Maybe send them a picture of my short and stocky nephew too. I have a decent beard. And Aussies certainly like to drink beer. We have all the traits of dwarves, though scattered around the population rather than in any one person I can name. You think this is a winning idea or am I just talking nonsense? :)

* Coober: oo like soon. Pedy: ee sound like Peter.

I know the estate is living off continually repackaging every word the Professor wrote (milking a dead horse), but I will definitely be buying this ASAP, not only because it looks beautiful (itself and next to the other recent volumes) but because I find the history of Númenor to be fascinating.  $36?  Yikes.

Five hobbits may have gathered at Crickhollow, but only four headed out to Rivendell. Fredegar Bolger stayed behind to act as a decoy, but was instrumental in the resistance to Saruman.

Harfoots set my teeth on edge. Shouldn't it be Harfeet? And I'm sure someone will post the relevant picture. I can't stop you.

Playing devils advocate here but why Harfeet? I can think of 2 reasons why Harfoot, when talking about names there are names like Lightfoot but I've never heard lightfeet and it's fantasy & would play by the writers rules anyway.
