Noticed that during my 5th viewing of FOTR about 2 years ago (was it really that long ago, or am I going crazy?). No, I doubt that dead orcs move, but in this instance it was most definitely just a...

Yeah, normal people already thought that there was too much "Old English" language in the film anyway (even though there wasn't any at all). What happened was just basically a moderization of the...

I have seen this website before, and don't worry, it is not serious at all. It is just all in parody. I personally don't think this is one of the best comic things related to LOTR, but it is okay. ...
