If any of you do not know, I am a HUGE Lord of the Rings fan. I am an even bigger fan of the Silmarillion. It is my FAVOURITE book of all time. I have read it six times. I would kill for them to do a movie. Unfortunately, they would have to do about 15 films in order to get it all in. I really wish they would though, no matter, how insane of an undertaking that would be. I swear if they pick a bunch of UGLY elves like they did for LOTR....Elrond played by Hugo Weaving? SERIOUSLY! ELVES [by Tolkien's standards] ARE MEANT TO BE MUCH MORE PHYSICALLY APPEALING THAN HUMANS??? I know they needed good actors, and Hugo is indeed good...but Legolas and Haldir and Arwen were about it for attractive. Also, WHERE THE FUCK WHERE ELLADAN AND ELROHIR?? They had like two small scenes. In the book, they road to battle on the Pelennor Fields and where like Aragorn's shadows. But Arwen got to replace Glorfindel's ride to save Frodo??? Nonetheless, Jackson did a fucking phenomenal though and that's all I really have to complain about. So he kicked some ass. But they really should give me millions upon millions of dollars to do The Silmarillion. I would nail it chapter by fucking chapter.

Honestly, I want the Silmarillion done just for the tale of Fëanor and the Silmarils. Fëanor is my favourite character out of all the ones in Tolkien's Middle Earth. He's a fucking badass.

"The eldest son of Finwë, and half-brother to Fingolfin and Finarfin, Fëanor was accounted the greatest of the Deep Elves. He burned with a fiery spirit, from which he took his name, though he had at first been known as Curufinwë. Such was his strength of spirit that his mother Míriel passed on to the Halls of Awaiting after his birth.

In Valinor his achievements were unparalleled. Learning much craft from Mahtan, the father of his wife Nerdanel, he created gems and jewels with astonishing properties, including lamps that glowed with their own light, and the palantíri that could see over vast distances. He was also a scholar of note, and invented the letters that carried his name. Most famously of all, he captured the light of the Two Trees themselves, within three lustrous jewels made of silima that came to be known as the Silmarils."


He later challenges the Valar, makes a horrific oath, kills a bunch of the Teleri...leaves Valinor for Middle Earth and makes war upon Morgoth. He dies though =(


No idea who or what the Valar are? What the oath was about? Who the fucking hell were the Teleri and what and where is Valinor? Read the Silmarillion...the Lord of the Rings makes so much more sense once you have read that. You understand what Sauron is and where he came from. Where Gandalf came from and what he really is...you learn all about Elrond's heritage and Aragorn's bloodline. Not too mention some awesome battles and amazing characters. In fact, you learn the entire history of Middle Earth. From Eru creating the Valar up until The Hobbit takes place.

I apologize for this. I am SUCH a nerd lol [Currently reading the Silmarillion for the 7th time. LOL] I also want the complete soundtracks to all three of the LOTR movies. lol

I am deeply excited for The Hobbit being filmed right now. ^_^

Seriously though, Tolkien in my opinion wrote THE greatest, most detailed, most influential story of all time. And he died before he could write more =( Damn it. Thank god his son has plundered through all his shit though and put out the Silmarillion, and all the other books concerning Tolkien's world.

[Don't judge me LOL]

P.S. I love Fëanor more than I have ever loved Prince Nuada and Legolas. I'm such a sad case.
