I still haven't seen the last LotR movie, and at this point, I think I'm never going to watch it.

#44 omg, can you imagine how beautiful that would be? i mean... actually having that many friends?

As someone with a fish named Thranduil, I enjoy this post.

Well done.

Was anyone else bothered when these movies came out that Orlando kept forgetting to put his blue contacts in before filming?

Here's the James Franco / Colbert showdown. Apparently it happened twice... https://youtu.be/rMvMeI1kugY

Regarding #44... That is not a LOTR surprise party! That is a Hobbit surprise party!

I know that part really annoyed me but I let it slide
toogoddamnwillful
It always bothered me that Thranduil calls him Strider, I believe he was only called that by Breelanders.
EarthDragon2189
It's frustrating how ALMOST great the Hobbit movies are. I bet they could have made 2 fantastic Hobbit movies instead of 3 merely okay ones.
playswithf1re
One day, someone will edit down the 3 movies into 2 great ones, and it will be amazing. But today is not that day.

Well, he's too busy being married to Goldberry, and master to Fatty Lumpkin. That's a busy lifestyle.

My brother gave me a Legolas cutout but rang the doorbell standing behind it and I thought Orlando bloom was at my house, legit cried.

Ugh I would have cried too that would be a dream come true

I need to re watch the LotR
Stuey1221
The commentary by Dom and Billy is seriously entertaining.
potoffle
Oh god yes. I'm so tempted to rewatch them all for it!
RogueMachinae
I didn't realize til this dump that they had commentary. I will now have to rewatch all of the LOTR.
Stuey1221
It's fantastic. There's 4 different ones I think. They're in the cast one. Unfortunately they're intermingled with the others :/
KPopGirlKimi
God legolas is so hot. I had the hugest crush on him when I was in my preteens. Glad to know there are others that choose him over aragorn

I only know Tom bombadil from battle for middle earth where he's an op fucker
46853
Well, old Tom Bombadil, he's a merry fellow...
Paradigmthefallen
All while DANCING. HE DANCES THROUGH HORDES OF ENEMIES!
Nattodesu
In the books he's pretty much God, but he straight does not give a fuck about anything except flowers and his wife.
Winterhathcome
He's really not all that good. Takes way too long to kill anything, and can be beaten by a fairly low lvl custom elf archer.
Dynamite651
How to easily get rid of enemy units ^
rectanglebot
He's pretty much Tolkien's view of God after Tolkien went through the war. All powerful, but only gives a fuck about nature, not beings.
Canmoron
And is boots are yellooow
deranger
The second? Which faction's he in?
JonSnowConfusedLook
He was one of the hero powers you could get and he'd go through armies like tissue paper
deranger
So kinda like ME1's army of the undead
JonSnowConfusedLook
I mean the dude could take trolls out like a God so I think he's a little bit better than them
deranger
Army of the undead could do that. They took a little bit of time against the balrog, but they still came through.
TaraTheDominatrix
I love the footage when they wrap up and Peter Jackson starts crying. He put his heart into the movies
housev1l
Too bad he didn't put enough of the books into them.
bntli
And also Dom's little side project thing
sixteenbottlesintheowlery
I didn't know Dom had a side project, I only knew about Sean's
bntli
Oh meeting it was Sean, I don't remember, one of the hobbits
Moehni
For some reason I read this as "and Peter Jackson starts farting".
nahgofuckyourself
Into 3 of the movies at least
Brettholomeul
For the Hobbit movies, he probably cried on the last day because he gave it his all and knew it wasn't enough.
EarthDragon2189
Eh...watch the Hobbit movie special features. Everybody just seems tired and ready to be done.
Blacklungs
Or because it was finally over
MrSeanicles
I heard he was shoehorned in at last minute as director
PointMiner
Yep. Took over for Guillermo delToro
JordanHicks07
That's why the aesthetic was so different! Oh man Jackson trying to do Del Toro's style makes so much sense for those movies.
Stuey1221
Instead if years of planning he had a few months

Hence why Colbert smoked him like a ham.
shmekie
Because James Franco thinks he's the coolest and best. Secretly has an ego bigger than Shia LaBeef
N0ledge
I call him "chia le boeuf" means pooped the bull in french
Gamegeek24
It was a rematch too.
thegoddamn18thavenger
Standard boxing procedure is to open with a probing punch. Problem is Colbert answered at full strength.
Acatno
Colbert wondered the same thing haha.

One does not simply question Stephen Colbert's nerd cred.

So nerdy he got a spot in the movie

I always wondered the same thing, but then again it is James Franco.
Ekajra
He probably injected four whole marijuanas before the interview.
TheRealDurdan
I'm honestly curious if it was scripted
Slander7
His initial reaction looked pretty authentic.
7thlevelLazerLotus
Its not, he's an authentic Tolkien superfan.
atomicgardener
Doubt it. I've seen Colbert with JJ Abrams live and they're just straight nerds. It was even called Celebrity Nerd Off
Dondarian
I want to believe it's not. Colbert could legitimately be that badass.
silentjay01
He won a cameo in the Hobbit trilogy by besting Peter Jackson's Tolkien Expert in a battle of Knowledge.
silentjay01
Colbert apologized to the other person in advance saying, "I've spent my whole life preparing for a race I never knew I was going to run."
thatusernameisregistered
There are videos on YouTube of him letting the audience ask questions and some ask about LotR and he almost always immediately answers right
LoTRFanatic42
If anyone was wondering, the Valar are Manwe, Ulmo, Alue, Tulkas, Lorien, Mandos, Orome, Varda, Yavanna, Nienna, Varie, Este, Nessa, & Vana.
4IMean5IMeanFIRE
Well....username checks out
HeeelllloooooooMurse
His proper name is "mother ducking Tulkas"
jb32647
What about Jeff? Everyone forgets about Jeff, even Tolkien omitted him from the books.

Degas777
What is a valar
LoTRFanatic42
Holy spirits; the most powerful of the creations of Eru Illuvatar (god) they descended into theworld and rule from Valinor, across the sea.
LoTRFanatic42
They are essentially gods in their world and each has a domain over which they are master. There are also the Miar, who are basically angels
DatDarthCaedus
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vala_(Middle-earth)
LoTRFanatic42
Lorien is also known as Irmo and Mandos as Namo. Melkor/Morgoth was originally a Vala but he was cast out, and Tulkas filled his empty seat.
MeanGreenMemeQueen
Username checks out, big time
RobertNAdams
Oh yeah? Can you name two - just two! - of the wizards? Yeah I bet not loser
LoTRFanatic42
Do you mean their original names, or the names they were given as wizards?
RobertNAdams
Eh go for the original names, but I know it's a softball question. Was just making a joke for a hilariously easy question. :P
Runman2424
Stephen?
Kitdivine
Hahaha my thought exactly
AsAHistorian
Does he not count as a Vala anymore? I assumed he did, that it was more of a (for lack of a better term) biological distinction than a title
LoTRFanatic42
He's still counted as one of the Ainur (holy ones) but he is not a member of the Valar.
AsAHistorian
Right, that sounds right.
NuggetFucker3000
Marry me
LuncheonsAndDragons
Because "Valar" is a title, like the "Olympian" gods. Lesser Ainur - the type of creature they all are - include the Maiar, who further...
SaVillaHg
I skipped everything just to give you credit after seeing that shit about the most badass motherfucker Tom Bombadil, if only he gave a fuck
irritabletom
He was always my favorite character, for a variety of reasons.
MrtheOffender
seen the comment so much i had to check to make sure his name is not in fact "Tom Bombadil, if only he gave a fuck" it might be now...
orbobb
us he really that powerful? I've not read the books.
IAmLobstronomous
Love Tom, it's a shame the horse post left of Motha F*cking Fatty Lumpkin. Best of all ponies.
Dakan
He's the most terrifying being in Middle Earth. Also known as the "Oldest and Fatherless" no one knows who he is or where he came from.
MisterOp
"...kicked melkor in the nuts,.." but he's not even in Mordor
JonSnowsFather
I so wish for a post LOTR series about the age of man and people like going to explore Angband. Would probably turn into a horror story.
yoshigg
To be fair, he doesn't have that power.
yoshigg
"Power to defy our Enemy is not in him, unless such power is in the earth itself. And yet we see that Sauron...
yoshigg
...can torture and destroy the very hills." -Galdor, Council of Elrond

I was waiting for this.
swinglinered
Orodruin is a "hill" of sorts, no?
yoshigg

RyeInACan
i wiki'd him. It's fair game. Power of the earth itself.
DarkBusterBaron
This is the best
irritabletom
He was always my favorite character, for a variety of reasons.
Stuey1221
I missed that. Gotta scroll back up now
Stuey1221
Seen it now. Never read the books. Is Tom B a total bad ass?
SaVillaHg
He looked into the ring and laughed in saurons face....yea sure
Stuey1221
I've seen some back story for him but TL;DR. care to sum him up for a +1
SaVillaHg
They talked about offering him the ring and it was presumed he didnt care so much that he'd lose it.
Taluien
Thing is, Tom Bombadil would be totally capable of doing that... if Mount Doom was actually part of his small domain. He also doesn't care.
Randomgamerdude
Strictly speaking, the reason the Fellowship didn't give the ring to Tom was because Gandalf thought he'd misplace it.
bamboozlerdoggo
Sauce?
FindusSomKatten
the first book it pretty much says word for word that he'd missplace it becouse it was so insignifficant to him
SeeShark
The whole point of him is that he doesn't care. If he did, he wouldn't be Tom Bombadil, and wouldn't be as powerful as he is.
Taluien
It's also outside his domain. That's the point I was trying to make. Tom cares about his small patch of the world. There he is powerful.
lordski
Such gross misunderstandings of Bombadil and his powers. If Sauron had regained the Ring, even Bombadil would have fallen eventually. 1/2
TheDogEnd
but Luthien cast a spell over Melkor, by far the more powerful over Sauron, by singing a song of enchantment causing him to fall asleep 2/
TheDogEnd
and Bombadil shows great power with his own songs. It's entirely possible, if Bombadil had a mind, that he could cast down Sauron 3/
TheDogEnd
or at least humble him. Sauron's Ring, which has power over towering Maia and Elves, like Gandalf and Elrond has no power over Tom. I ask 4/
TheDogEnd
if Sauron's most powerful powers are ineffectual, in what other ways might Bombadil be immune? A worthy debate indeed. 5/5
lordski
The Ring held a great portion of his native power, but not his only powers. Also, in the intervening years Sauron's strength and might 1/2
lordski
Grew, so that with the Ring he would be unstoppable, unless the Valar themselves moved against him, and they already stated they would not.
TheDogEnd
It's a worthy debate. Tom Bombadil would've failed under Sauron's full might, surrounded by his armies, and still be the last to go down 1/
lordski
Last as he was first.
lordski
So to think he could have taken on Morgoth-Bauglir would be incorrect. Bombadil was powerful within his own borders, but even he would 2/3
lordski
Would have fallen to the Dark Lord.
IcemanChilled
Except of course that is all conjecture coming from the Council and they know no more about him than you or I. 1/2
IcemanChilled
Didn't Tolkien once write that Tom wouldn't survive because there would be nothing left for him in Saurons world? Meaning nature.
fencingmaster
1. But gandalf also said that he chose his boarders. He was only confined there by his own will. The ring also had no effect on him
fencingmaster
2. Whatsoever. So even if Sauron had it, would the power it gave Sauron be able to affect him?
SaVillaHg
Ya know, that may be but outside that Tom Bombadil is still a god damn beast who is a literal god in his lands.
lordski
Tom Bombadil was awesome, but he was who he was, and nothing more. I wouldn't say god, more a caretaker. Even the Valar weren't gods.
