Cinemasins was off base with a lot of their criticisms so let’s see what we can really find if we decide to be super finicky with our viewing of Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy...

February 26, 2024 5 Details in Peter Jackson’s “Fellowship of the Ring” that Only Superfans Notice
For all his faults, Peter Jackson clearly knew the story he was adapting to screen. And superfans know this because they noticed those little details that only a fellow superfan would bother to mention.

February 12, 2024 Writing in Tengwar: Learn How to Use and Customize Tolkien’s Elvish Alphabet
Tolkien’s Elvish script is beautiful, but it might seem hard to learn at first glance. It’s actually quite easy if you just take a closer look,
and you can customize it as much as you want!

Here’s my previous videos “translating” some of the Elvish in Lord of the Rings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Tz6PdaQpFo

Once again I explore how modern pop culture intersects with Tolkien in surprising, interesting, and insightful ways, this time through the lens of Pixar’s “Inside Out.”

January 29, 2024 Character Study of Saruman: Tolkien’s Portrait of the Modern Politician
Saruman’s speeches to Gandalf have always struck me as revealing something of Tolkien’s opinion of politicians in modern democratic systems. Sweet-tongued and convincing but willing to sacrifice principle and honesty in pursuit of his goals, he reflects an uncomfortably large number of prominent figures on the modern political scene. Let’s analyze him and see how he matches up.

Not familiar with the background of how Gandalf came to Saruman in the book? Check my recent video comparing the book and movie on this point: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXinRWIi1yw

January 22, 2024 Lord of the Rings Book v. Movie: The Paths of the Dead and Aragorn at the Pelennor Fields
Last week (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXinRWIi1yw&pp=ygUzbG9yZCBvZiB0aGUgcmluZ3MgYm9vayB2IG1vdmllIGdhbmRhbCBkaXNhcHBlYXJhbmNl) I discussed how the changes to how we experience Gandalf’s disappearance and captivity in Peter Jackson’s Fellowship of the Ring make sense given the limitations of the medium. A viewer commented that the case was rather the opposite with the Paths of the Dead and Aragorn’s appearance in the Corsair ships, so in this video I explore what makes these two examples different.

January 15, 2024 Lord of the Rings Book v. Movie: Gandalf’s Disappearance
Normally my book versus movie videos are about the changes in the actual substance of the story being told, but in this case I want to look at HOW the story is told differently because it shows us how adaptation does actually require changes to a story so it better fits the new medium.

January 08, 2024 How a Pirate Publisher Stole Tolkien’s Magnum Opus: The Story of Ace Books’ "Lord of the Rings"
As “The Lord of the Rings” grew in popularity in the U.S., one book
publisher took advantage of an odd copyright provision to issue an unauthorized version of the book, and this is the story of what
followed.
