The Tolkien Lovers
(IMDb) Community

The store for information that is
seen on the Internet Movie Data
Base Discussion Boards
the topics can be diverse,
but generally have to do with
Tolkien, Middle-earth and it's
depiction on screen.

Hello and welcome. You have found your way to a new site that is designed to be populated by all manner of information garnered from the good folk at the Internet Movie DataBase discussion boards to do with the Lord Of The Rings Films.

These films have proved to be very popular and a community of "ringnuts" has grown up on the discussion boards as a result. The problem is that a lot of the interesting information that is discussed there is seemingly lost after a few days as a post gradually dissapears off to the quiet place all posts end up, so in an effort to bring the pooled wisdom of many disperate souls together in one place, we designed this site.

WHAT'S NEW?

Wednesday 24th December 2003
Updated the opening page to include some news about the "First London Ringnut Meet". This is my name for it, as I wasn't able to go on the day I am hoping that this will only be the first of it's kind!

Friday 26th December 2003
I have finally added Coolbananas widely applauded essay on J.R.R. Tolkien, that she posted to the IMDb's JRR Tolkien board. It took a while to put it up, but it is there now and will be staying put! I will be adding more "good posts" in due course.

I have also changed the vote in the Poll. So please vote. You can vote as often as you would like. If there is a burniung question that you'd like to see put on this site, why not ask me?

I hope you enjoy the content of this website and that you suggest (or even send me) items or articles to include here. I am the "webmaster" of this site, and regular users of the Internet Movie Database can "PM" me, my username is "The_Elfstone".

RINGNUT MEET:LONDON, NOVEMBER 22ND I know that it was a wee while back now but I thought that I would give you the Low-down on the Euromeet that happened at the end of November. For those of you that are currently saying "Huh? Euromeet what? Where? When? & Why? Basically back when the world was young and I was younger there was a time when the momentous announcement came that the Lord of the Rings The Films exhibition was coming to London Town more specifically the London Science Museum It became clear then that this event heralded a new dawning in the battle between good and evil, it was decided that there should be a Fellowship of the Ringnuts to go in search of the One Ring. Five brave Ringnuts volunteered to make the perilous journey to London there present as has now been immortalised in mythology were Elwe-Singollo, Kalliop�, Shakra, Tubba324 (currently infector of souls) & Wajz. The journey was long and arduous (Longer for some than others Shakra) but eventually we all made it and discovered the one ring, the precious that was the LOTR's the films exhibition.

Anyway back to the point the exhibition was excellent, the only disappointment being that a) we weren't allowed to take any photos of the exhibits and b) the scale model of Orthanc was not present due to PJ & co requiring it for re-shoots. What impressed me was the sheer dedication that everyone involved in the films seems to have shown in there respective crafts be it the wonderful costumes, the fantastic smithy work (Aul� himself would have been be proud of the workmanship ) on the items of Armour and swords and all the other items that were there. So that was exhibition, but even better was the company I can say that without a doubt it was a great pleasure finally meeting the faces behind the posts as it were. Kalliop�, Shakra, Tubba & Wajz were all as you would expect them to be from their respective posts on the Board and I can truly say that it was great meeting them and that it hopefully will not be to long before we can meet again.[by Elwe-Singolo]
