tolkien's women are madonnas. he didn't understand women any more than his BFF CS Lewis.

 

but they're still better books.

 

Not many men understand women to be fair

 

he had a really special kind of ignorance.

 

and.... i've never noticed a lot of that kind of ignorance but i don't understand men myself.

I wasn't being entirely serious

 

Its a valid criticism of Tolkien, but to make out the Robert Jordan was much better is a mistake imo

[Lurk No More]

each to his or her own. I am holding out definitive decision until 1/8/13

i don't think he was, he just knew what he liked and put lots of it in the books.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

[Lurk No More]

_{Dosen't do much for ya?}

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

nah, noone in that movie particularly did.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

[Lurk No More]

 

What about this lovely specimen?

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

kinda like him actually. he's like one of those poor furless cats...

[Lurk No More]

I know he looks kinda "Brittish", but he loves tea and fish........?

[Lurk No More]

Ah... I got ya.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

he's a good boy half the time. and frodo never would have gone through with the job without him.

[Lurk No More]

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

too true. made it.... wow, like 40 years without a cat and.... then julie newmar took over or something.

[Lurk No More]

Julie Newmar - not my favorite. Urtha Kitt, now she rocks it.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

theyre all better than that crazy one from the newer movies

[Lurk No More]

Oh, she's crazy all right. Crazy like a foxx

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

and also like a bipolar or perhaps schizoid personality disorder.

[Gabby]

We had fo choose actors to play various characters in English today... needless to say, a lot of them were from LotR :)

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

it's nice it has staying power. poor bakshi... he tried so hard.

[Lurk No More]

^{He did try hard, and Leonard Roseman too. They were OK for the time, incomplete as they were.}

 

^{But Aragorn as a American Indian? As an american indian myself, I found and find that foolish...}
