Tookish here with our next Tolkien talk topic! Our focus this weekend comes courtesy of Joe, a regular Hall of Fire attendee.
Middle-earth’s Baddest Bad Guy
Who is it for you? Exempting of course Morgoth and Sauron, who is your favorite Tolkien villain? This topic will cover the entire History of Middle-earth, from The Silmarillion down to the Fourth Age. Bring your thoughts, your favorite dastardly deeds and evil dialogue, and come share with us this weekend.
Thanks Joe! We’d love to hear from the rest of you too for future Hall of Fire topics. Send ’em in here!

The time is ripe for a new documentary that will introduce Tolkien to all those LOTR newbie moviegoers (more)
Recently TOR.net was contacted by Assassin films, who outlined their ideas for a documentary on Tolkien and his works. As I understood it, they saw a need for something that would introduce the man and the book to people who don’t know who Tolkien is or think he just wrote children’s books. Like us, they were getting tired of the somewhat sneering once-over-lightly treatment Tolkien was getting in the main media worldwide. To this end they are planning to spend time at Oxenmoot and are angling for an interview with JRRT’s daughter Priscilla. Another theme they’re pursuing is the way Tolkien has inspired various famous artists and musicians. Glass Hammer are already booked to give them an interview.
Assassin Films are headed by NZer Mark Morgan and director David Perry, who’s from England. They met in LA where both of them worked in films for a number of years.
TOR.net is interested in this project. This is a good time for this documentary to happen, and these seem like the right people to do it.
