Tuor of Gondolin has just left Hobbiton.
1420! Shadowlands movie: Tolkien slighted?

Rewatching the interesting Shadowlands movie, I was struck by the
almost total lack of JRRT appearances or allusions (just one book
one- anyone spot it?). Given that other Inklings received cameos (in addition,
of course, to C.S. Lewis and Warnie- and wouldn't movie Warnie make a
great Doctor Watson? ), then why no JRRT?). True, he didn't approve
of Lewis's Joy Gresham involvement (which doesn't seem especially
an example of "Christian charity" and tolerance, why no cameos for him
or CT.
