Here comes the next installment of The Hall of Fire live chat. Thanks to those of you who are regulars at our weekend discussions, and if you haven’t been yet, we’d love to have you jump in at any time. For this Saturday, we’re going to talk about Boromir
Boromir: Tragic Hero of Gondor
A proud, strong warrior and leader of men, Boromir the Brave is a tragic figure in Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. His need for power, action, and deeds pushes him too far, yet we can admire much in this great hero. How would you have fared under the influence of the Ring? What would have been the outcome if Boromir had come into possession of It, or if he had persuaded the Walkers to go to Minas Tirith? Would Boromir have acknowledged Aragorn as King? Finally, what lessons can we learn from Boromir?
Come share your thoughts with us!
Saturday Chat: 5:30 EDT [10:30 GMT]
Sunday Chat: 6:00 GMT [1:00 EDT]

Greetings from the the presses down here at TheOneRing.net,
I think you’re going to really appreciate this topic. In the rush of today, it seems like so many things are chaepened, devalued, and lost. Will this happen when Peter Jackson translates The Lord of the Rings to the big screen? Thus our topic:
Preserving the Legacy of Tolkien’s Work on Film
We all know and expect that PJ will make changes in the Professor’s great tale. If, in the upcoming movie, you could have 5 minutes -give or take- of the film that was completely unaltered and just as you imagine it, what would it be and why? What one scene would
you like to see in the movie verbatum? Do you think after the movies are out and finished that Tolkien’s vision of Middle-earth will be properly shown, and what impact will the films have on future readers of The Lord of the Rings?
Join your moderators this Saturday, August 4, at 5:30 EST [-5 hours GMT] or Sunday, August 5, at 6:00 p.m. GMT [7:00 p.m. Central Europe Time and 1:00 p.m. EDT]. Please send in your feedback and topic suggestions to us.
