There’s nothing particularly modern or weird about the fox that thinks to itself. Intelligent/unusually chatty animal is an authentic folklore motif and animals are (kind of) people in Tolkien’s writings as a whole. Huan or his fail-descendant Garm of Ham or whatever. In The Hobbit they hold multiple long and elaborate conversations with straight-up birds.

i did not say it was bad, just that he put anachronisms into his own work, so he would not have a strong case about using a colloquial phrase. if anything as a linguist he would appreciate it since such things are a part of language most linguists enjoy.

Well you're getting the tale of Helm Hammerhand in the anime movie "War of the Rohirrim" that's coming out in 2023. So replace Balchoth with Dunland and presumably a lot of questionable CGI if Kenji Kamiyama's last few CGI anime (Ghost in the Shell SAC_2045 and Blade Runner Black Lotus) are to go by.

Zoom in on that cover and look at the face. Looks exactly like Rickey Gervais. Bilbo Brent! "We're like one big organism, yeah? The wizard, he's the mouth. The dwarves, the hands. I'm probably the humour."

Me exactly except I think I was a 7th grader. I bought those editions and read them so many times the bindings fell apart. Just seeing those is a huuuuge nostalgia hit for me.

My main complaint with the LotR trilogy was that PJ’s cinematic language is closer to Sam Raimi’s splatter horror camerawork than prestige cinema. It clashes with the script fairly often. So, I guess it’s not surprising that he eventually started making scenes that would be pretty cool if they were in an Army of Darkness movie. Sadly, they’re in The Hobbit.

I actually really like his splatter fest approach to action scenes but they only work if you're using actual people and copious squibs. The bloom and the total CGI-ness of that Hobbit scene kills it. Like, the fight in Balin's Tomb is taken right from the lawnmower scene in Braindead and it's great. Amon Hen is spectacular. But the more the CGI takes over the less impact the fights have.

The production is totally hosed and everyone involved is out of a job unless you come in and save it. You have less than one year for pre production and one year for production so first film needs to be out in 2 years and the sequel the next year. God speed” *fast forward half a year* “Hey Peter yeah. That duology? Yeah it’s a trilogy now. No, each movie needs to still be around 180 minutes long. Figure it out.” That’s why
