Hello! I learned about this forum from someone on christianforums.com. I am a rather boring college student. I call myself an orthodox Tolkien fan because I was introduced to Tolkien through his writings, and not the films, and also because my appreciation is for the book, while I view the LotR films as little more than pop culture sacrificing Tolkien on the altar of its gods. Tolkien's work was never meant for film, and the heinous murder of his story and characters by Peter Jackson is proof that LotR cannot be communicated through this medium. I love to talk about Tolkien and his work, as well as others like Lewis and Chesterton. I hope I'll find some good conversation here.

In that case I'm also an orthodox fan. |

Welcome, paleocon! I hope you enjoy the Ringers. We'd love to hear more about your opinions on the Film board! I'm interested in what you have to say- for example, what specific items bother you most about the movies. See you around!
