iā€˜ve had a late 20’s lotr awakening. watched all of the movies last year for the first time and DAMN do they hold up. special effects still dazzle, good balance of humor, viggo mortensen looking the sexiest a human has ever looked on screen. read the first book slowly over several months while reading other books alongside it. the songs can be a bit much but it mostly slapped. i was surprised by how much it moved me. finally finished and sprang for the uncut version the next day. simply an excellent use of time!!!!! will never forgive them for omitting tom bombadil and goldberry tho.

I agree with you entirely! Loved Tom Bombadil and Goldberry so much. We dressed as them for Halloween a few years ago and my son as Fatty Lumpkin lol

my copy of LOTR (fellowship) is coming in the mail tomorrow and I couldn't be happier. I read The Hobbit back in january so let me know if the main ā€œtrilogyā€ lives up to it! it’s fun to buy things that mean something. it’s also fun to buy silly things. I can’t wait.

I’m talking - environmental themes // da man Tom Bombadil // Ralph Bakshi // vintage paperback covers that look like a prog album sleeve // Ents ?!! I find this inexplicably charming + also really have come to enjoy the extent to which Peter Jackson adapted this ā€œvibeā€ more than he adapted the books with 100% fidelity

ideally i would love to gain the trust and respect of a corvid šŸ¦ā€ā¬› they love to give and receive tiny gifts and i relate to that. goose and swan are also great options though a bit riskier since these guys can get mad as hell and those long necks are powerful i would also love to volunteer at a raptor sanctuary and help take care of falcons, owls, etc. i feel pretty sad and disturbed by most caged birds and having a parrot, for example is a massive emotional responsibility, their lifespans also mean it’s a lifelong commitment, i probably wouldn’t go this route but respect those who do it right 🫔

one of my favorite artists. the sculpture in the photo is in clay but his work includes lots of deer motifs, wood, terracotta, moments from indigenous mythology...
