something like that. But, since this is true, Sauron is kin to the Vala by definition. And he died. Is it possible to kill a valar?

Aaah. My first real introduction was watching that Lord of The rings cartoon at the age of 2. Fairly young. Next, I saw the hobbit movie, just around the same time. They became my favorites. Watched...

It may be a bit of a contradiction, but we're talking about a world that doesn't quite obey the same laws of physics as we do, so the rules are different.

Most of the lines were a little down played, in my opinion. They were not as good as they could have been; sometimes it was the actor's fault. Ian did a really good job of avoiding it. As a movie, it...

the only thing that perturbed me about bobamdil is that He had the power to "Sing." Tolkien was alludin to something when he had all the crap about powerful music and iluvatar. Think about it. Even...

Over all, though, Glaurung did more damage. Ancalagon is Cooler though. It would be cool to see a fight between thorondor and Ancalagon.
