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."

    Mod me down for being OT if you must, but...

    ...other nonsense, like photoshopped Ringwraiths...

    Is "photoshop" falling into common usage as a word meaning "to digitally modify [an image]" similar to the way "xerox" is now synonymous with "photocopy"? (Even if you're using, say, a Canon copier.)

    Personally I'd rather hear them referred to as "gimped Ringwraiths".
