The Battle of Five Armies, made by the creators of The War of the Ring
(my review of which is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knXfPlC6-KA&pp;=ygUud2FyIG9mIHRoZSByaW5nIGJvYXJkIGdhbWUgcmV2aWV3IHRvbGtpZW4gbG9yZQ%3D%3D), is a highly tactical war game similar to but also unlike its predecessor. How does it shape up?

Viewer coreyander286 wondered about this, and in the post Peter Jackson era it’s not a strange thing to wonder, but there’s a fairly simple answer.

Details in Peter Jackson’s “Fellowship of the Ring” that Only Book SuperFans Notice, Part 3

Embracer Group has finally announced details of its planned first foray into the world of Middle-earth from a cinematic angle, with a working title of “The Hunt for Gollum.” I give the details so far, my thoughts, and maybe some snide remarks about a certain other company.


My review of the fan film by the same name is here if you’re interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INb-aR2UDkY

An Extremely Nitpicky Review of “The Fellowship of the Ring” Part 3

Decades ago, when Dungeons and Dragons first got started, there were a fairly large number of Christians in the United States who thought it (and many other fantasy properties) were dangerous and anti-Biblical. That was always based mainly on a misunderstanding, and you’d think by now that would have been cleared up. I recently found out, though, that there are still people who think even Lord of the Rings is somehow religiously dangerous….


My video on the ways in which Lord of the Rings is fundamentally Christian is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AWD7UWsn4w
