An Interview with JRR Tolkien and Other Tomfoolery

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the more-tomfoolery-always-welcome dept.

Lord of the Links writes: "These wackjobs pretend to interview JRR Tolkien with a ouija board as well as slapping together other nonsense, like photoshopped Ringwraiths from the movie doing bizarre things. I laughed once or twice, especially the diary by Gollum. The girls side left something to be desired, but the script revisions were kinda funny. If you feel like feeding into the Lord of the Rings hype, check it out."

    Why bother faking an inteview with JRR?

    Plenty of people claim to know what he thinks about the file.

    Peter Jackson reckons he'd like it.
    JRR's biographer reckons he'd have ignored it.
    His son, Christopher Tolkien reckons he'd have hated it.

    So there you have it ....

    What i want to know is what are they going to do about Tom Bombadill...
    I mean i understand them having to leave him out for the sake of time, etc, but without the scene from the barrow downs, where does Merry get his sword from? That sword is important later in the 3rd book where he uses it to kill the leader of the Ringwraiths... That's what i'm worried about... Tolkien's writing was so interwoven that everything tied in with something else.
