I thought they were going to mention that "Bullroarer's" real name was Bandobras Took. And that, in the Battle of the Green Fields, he knocked the chief goblin, Golfimbul's head off with a club. The head went down some animal burrow, and thus the game of golf was invented, and the battle won at the same time.

@khymaaren

Жыл бұрын

@@THEDOORIZCLOSED I think the two cases are completely different. In the case of LotR, the (majority of the) cast spent 1.5 years shooting the three films back to back, away from their own homes, working and, essentially, living together in New Zealand. And then there were the yearly pickup shootings that had them return for a couple of weeks or even months, I'm not sure. The HP movies were shot on tight schedules and in the UK, which allowed for the stars to commute from home, even. I don't think they had the time to form such deep relationships while working together. But I haven't watched the extras for any of the HP movies. I definitely don't have insight into the behind the scenes stuff the same way I do with LotR.

Few things are more precious than Colbert's love of Tolkien.

the Shelob question was easy if you know the Silmarillion imo but I didn't remember that it was mentioned where the entmoot was held (then again I would only know the German name for it too) and I do remember that it was a Tuck who invented golf and the story behind it but wouldn't have been able to name him even though hearing the name immediately rang a bell. As this is a TV show it could of course be just staged but even if it would be, I want to believe it is not.

"Sir Peter jackson" after the trilogy was such a success, New Zealand governor knighted Sir Peter. So, we now address him as Sir Peter. Pretty cool, huh.

Had I been in the studio with this interview with these two guys, I probably would have teared up a bit at seeing them. These movies mean a lot to me.

It's incredible how deeply involved are people from all over the world into the story which considered by others as a simple fairy tale.

“Hush!” said Pippin in a terrible voice to all Bilbo's friends-and-relations, and “Hush!” they said hastily to each other all down the line, until it got to the last one of all. And the last and smallest friend-and-relation was so upset to find that the whole Expotition was saying “Hush!” to him, that he buried himself head downwards in a crack in the ground, and stayed there for two days until the danger was over, and then went home in a great hurry, and lived quietly with his Aunt ever-afterwards. His name was Stephen Colbert.

I loved it. I absolutely love that Stephen nerds out over The Lord Of The Rings. And I absolutely love that all these years after the movies, he still thrills over LOTR guests, and is keeping LOTR in the light for everyone.

Hello! How are you doing?Hope you are fine and staying safe??

Dom and Billy are simply adorable. They have great chemistry as friends and actors. I can imagine them playing mischievous twins somewhere in a film.

My GOD, this was priceless! And it is so sweet, that so many years later "Merry" and "Pippin" are still joined at the hip!

I'm so glad they're actually real friends

Stephen is truly the King Of LOTR Geekdom!

They still make me happy and I gladly acknowledge that I am an LoTR nerd. They have such fun together. And Stephen is just at his best when he is geeking out on all things Tolkien.

@@gigantisaurusrex6647 absolutely correct. I will say though as a rabid fan of the Master and Commander books, I was surprised to see Billy cast as Barrett Bonden, he doesn't really physically fit the description from the books, and I was so used to seeing him so recently as Pippin that it was a little jarring, but he nailed it, as did everyone in the movie. If you haven't watched or read Master and Commander, do yourself a favor.

Ungoliant is actually an incredible story. A story of an abused creature that gets power but doesn't know how to control it. And as such ends up killing herself from the same power. She eats and she eats and she eats. Nothing will satiate her. And in the end, we don't know for sure, but some believe she ate herself as the last option. She eats the light of Arda, she is the one who truly destroys the trees. And morgoth is betrayed since he intended to betray her anyway

This has to be one of my favorite episodes with guests in a long, long time

Apparently this sort of chemistry between Billy and Dom is why they were cast as Merry & Pip.
