It's probably mosaic tile work not paint. I'm digging the Hagia Sophia there.

That last shot of what I'm assuming is the palace is great. I think the two statues are supposed to be Elros on the left and maybe Elrond on the right? The waterfall is pretty extravagant, but hey, you've got to do something with the excess after keeping Nimloth watered. The Minas Truth shape is a logical thing too. It makes sense that the exiles would build their cities in memory of Numenor. William Bear fucked around with this message at 07:12 on Aug 14, 2022 |

Also Sauron should have at least a 3 episode arc discussing building a tower with a giant eye on top, otherwise we'll have to cancel this foolish tv-show.

since they turned ar pharazon into an "advisor" of tar-miriel i kind of suspect they'll give miriel the role of ar pharazon in the book (seeking immortality and being seduced), while the guy billed as pharazon is actually sauron in disguise, or some bullshit like that

Though it's likelier this is just pre- him usurping her.

You can see the back of the elbow of the left arm of the statue which is now on the right.

In the top one it takes a hard turn to the left but in the bottom one that turn would have had to be to the right if looking out from the statues

yep so they are condensing the King's Men and Faithful down into one large event instead of a thousand year debacle.

Hes good at playing charismatic and unhinged bad guys and I recently finished that show INTO THE BADLANDS and it further solidified my belief in Marton Csokas as the best candidate for playing a human sacrificing mad king declaring war on God.

The episode timing has been released. As was speculated, they're releasing the first two episodes together. They're coming a little earlier, too: 9pm ET. https://twitter.com/PrimeVideo/status/1559555674064834560

I'm reading my daughter the Hobbit. My reading involves some gender swapping (not a lot of women in the Hobbit but Bilba Baggins will do, throw in Kili and Fili) and is heavily informed by the Rankin Bass versions (Glen Yargshuggoth really got the music). It involves a lot of "can we go back to "Ho ho my lad" and "Bilba falling down the tunnel". I'm really depressed about this news.

Fittingly, I just got to the recent Exploring the Lord of the Rings episode where Olsen goes off on a tangent about adaptations and about how everyone is always terrified that some upcoming iteration will be terrible and will "ruin" the original work. i.e. it happened with Jackson (I recall the trepidation with which we all awaited news and clues in the run-up to 2001), and one of the listeners said he remembered it happening with Bakshi. The Hobbit movies were of course godawful. And yet here we all still are.

Swedish media holding company that's been buying a poo poo load of companies over the last few years.

I haven't heard of most of them. Check out this Twitter thread. https://twitter.com/Wario64/status/1560117210181275648?s=20&t=Gin8b7YBUUtkNPnjMuat3Q Limited Run Games and the Tolkien stuff seems like the two biggest companies from this latest media grab, but mostly they seem to be expanding their portfolio. Doesn't mean they'll do anything with LOTR, specifically.

Orodruin? Nobody's going to know what an "Orodruin" is. Sure, there might be a bit of fan backlash if we change it to "Lava Mountain," but they're going to watch it anyway and we really want to capture the 6-12 demo to hook them as lifelong consumers.
