Because you are a child?

>you will never live in the First Age
Why even bother living?

I bet you fap to Infinite Jest daily.

>>7283378
Children of Hurin is better because the subject matter is presented in an older english prose form.

I truly hope that Jackson gets the money to put it out as a standalone R rated movie.

>>7284569
Not me - I fap to Catullus.

>>7283435
Genesis is great (the whole circumcision thing gets a bit tiresome though)

Who is the greatest author of all time?

Thoughts on Life of Pi by Dostoevsky?

Is reading The Hobbit necessary to best enjoy the Ring trilogy?

>>7287378
No, but you should read it anyway, because it is better than LOTR

>>7284575
none of Tolkien's works will ever be screened again, not ever since his son was so mortified with The Hobbit disaster that he refused to give anyone screening rights.

>>7283378
Worth buying?

>>7287378
enjoy 2000 pages of exhausting extra dialogue. It's really better to just have someone tell you about it. And I've never said that about a book, but every conversation is like a patient exchanging of essays and letters and explanations, even when in the middle of a battle. And so many characters in the stories don't actually do anything other than drag fellowship out to be as slow starting as possible. There are some cool tidbits, worth knowing about, but I just honestly wish I hadn't put the time and energy in and had had someone take twenty minutes to explain to me what all the movies left out..

>>7290133
Can you really blame him?

>>7290248
Don't >>7290183
He should have done so after the LOTR disaster.

>>7290148
Yes, obviously.

>>7283378
it's not and your a faget

>>7290749
Manwe wore blue. I'm pretty sure.

>>7290821
literally this

>>7283378
It's not. It's dry incomplete supplement material. It's the crumbs on the counter of a bakeshop.

>>7290133
But the third part of The Hobbit was fucking great, even if the first 2 were not.

>It's the crumbs on the counter of a bakeshop.

horrendous fam

I genuinely do not believe it is possible to hold the opinion that only Five Armies was good. It was close to Transformers in its level of CGI shitshow gratuitous violence. If you can enjoy that one, I can't understand why you wouldn't enjoy the others.

>>7291944
Oh, i admit that, i just think it had a great feeling of heroic battles that we hadn't seen in quite some time now and that not even the book couldn't convey(not like it was supposed to, anyway).

>>7290749
what the fuck, that's a pitiful attempt

>>7283378
If you explain what is in it it sounds amazing but reading it is slow and dry as fuck.
It helps to remember that Tolkien didn't really see himself as a novelist so much as a modern myth-maker or revealer of myth that publishing companies wanted to push as a novelist. The history of Middle-Earth was, to him, a fictional history of our world, like creation myths in religions.

>>7291810
What? Why?

>>7292370
Refer to >>7292030

Faenor did literally nothing wrong.

>>7287378
Not really. It feels and reads a lot different than LOTR, and you might appreciate certain parts of LOTR more after having read the Hobbit, but it isnt necessary, just highly reccomended.
