OK, enough seriousness [like we’re always so serious!]…..these are some of the more weird and funny things that came our way in the past week or so.
Firstly, there’s this site for getting to Mordor using Mapquest [More]
Secondly, this very nice LOTR-inspired music hall – a cosy hobbit-like venue for music. They are located in Bradford, Vermont, USA.

Now, Sean thought other fans who visit TheOneRing.net might enjoy a short, satirical essay on bad grammar in e-correspondence starring Professor Tolkien. The article asks, how might the Good Professor have responded to the average email, if he’d lived to see the day? [More]

I managed to find some very interesting Return of the King spoilers info from a source very close to the film. Mainly, it regards the seige of Gondor, and events closely related to it.
When Denethor is on the pyre, burning, we see a closeup of the palantir that he grasps, and in it, we see a flash-ahead to the destruction of Barad-Dur, and the Nazgul falling in flames. Gandalf is there, as well as Pippin.
Gandalf says to Pippin, “Sauron could not conquer him like Saruman, but he concealed the true hope, and so Denethor was deceived.” In response, Pippin says, “None of us are safe then.” Gandalf’s response is “We cannot be truly safe while Sauron rules.”
Shortly after this, Beregond comes in, and sees Denethor’s body. He simply says, “Such a waste of one so strong against the East.”
