On our behalf we’d like to thank you for making this an amazing year for us and Tolkien on the internet. If you’re home tonight or surfing around on 1/1/01 I thought I’d put together a few links recapping some amazing stories and scenes for your pleasure. more

Hullo Tolkien chat fans! I hope that December stretch didn’t leave you wanting too much for The Hall of Fire, but the good news is… we’re baaaaack!
Our next topic:
The Physical Ability of Men and Elves
It seems that even before Humans walked Middle-earth, they were in competition with the elder race of Elves. How do The Firstborn and aftercommers stack up when compared to one another in physical ability? Can a Man equal an Elf in stature and strength? How about fighting ability and dexterity?
Bring your thoughts on down to The Hall of Fire at any one of these times:

Please send your feedback for The Hall of Fire here! I’m especially interested in what you think of the posted time schedule… too much info or just right? Thanks. 🙂
Due to the holiday weekends we’ve postponed our twice monthly Tolkien discussion at The Hall of Fire. However, if you’d like to read logs from past chats, check them out at the above HoF link, where you can also find times for the chats. Our next topic will compare and contrast the physical ability of Elves and Men: can a Man be as powerful a warrior as an Elf?
Feedback is always welcome right here.
The cool folks from French Primere sent in word on some great pics from the new Cate Blanchett (Galadriel) film ‘The Gift’.
