    It's quite obvious he doesn't care or know much at all. He's scripted to give a positive response and show a mediocre interest in the subject matter he is presenting on his show. He doesn't sound, look or act very enthusiastic at all. He was a lot more vibrant and alive when talking about Putin and the war in Ukraine. He really shone up in that one, as if he was very personally invested in it. Here he is faking it, as with most other things he talks about it.

    it's sad, i live in Yakutsk (Russia, Siberia), and when i was a kid in 1990's fantasy become very popular here. It was a whole new genre came from the west. J.R.R.Tolkien, Ursula K.Le Guin, R.E. Howard and many others. I remember how hard was to find all three books of LotR, i found first book in state library it was wooden building with one floor in not very safe neighborhood. And in one day i found out that there is a whole society called "the Tolkienists" in my town, actually it was a bunch of teenagers that admired the universe of Eä. Imagine 20-30 kids meet together in park with wooden swords, shields, bows and arrows, divides in two or three groups (Elves, dwarves, orcs) and just smack each other. Baruk Khazâd! Khazâd ai-mênu! It was fun. And there was a legend about Silmarillion, nobody saw that book but everyone heard about some guy who have it, he was a tolkienist but he grew up and moved in another city.

    My 4th grade teacher would read us a chapter of The Hobbit each day after lunch/recess to get us to calm down enough to learn other things. I fell in love... Then, when I couldn't find the trilogy in our tiny school library (our entire school grades 1 - 6 had a total of 32 kids), my 5th grade teacher just happened to have the box set of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Since she didn't care for the genre, she gave them to me. I read them over and over (I especially loved the appendices). Like many, there was no one I could talk to about these stories.

    That actually annoyed me, since I grew up adoring those books and Tauriel imo was a fluff character who adds nothing to The Hobbit movies except a spurious love interest. The real story is brilliant without any of that adolescent stereotyped 'sexy elf warrior chick' bs. So yeah, referencing Tauriel as part of Tolkien's Middle Earth pretty much negates being a 'huge fan' of the source material from which she is conspicuously and thankfully absent.

So obviously for me, Tolkien you would say the letter e. For the word meine, say the letter i. It's nice having rules in German where the exceptions don't outnumber the examples where the rule is followed! The way Americans pronounce Harvey Weinstein is just confusing lol

    Lily Collins was so wrong about the character Edith inspired. It wasn’t Tauriel from The Hobbit. She wasn’t even in the books, she’s a made up character by Peter Jackson.... In the Silmarrilion, there is a story of a man and a female elf/ Beren and Luthien and those characters were inspired by Tolkien’s love for his wife. There’s a scene where Luthien dances in the wood for Beren which is in reference to when Tolkien’s wife dances for him and I’m glad they added it in this movie.

    yes I learned German for a few years, and so I have the rule stuck in my head that for the diphthong 'ei' and 'ie' you pronounce the second letter how we would say it in English. So obviously for me, Tolkien you would say the letter e. For the word meine, say the letter i. It's nice having rules in German where the exceptions don't outnumber the examples where the rule is followed! The way Americans pronounce Harvey Weinstein is just confusing lol

    It should be noted that Tolkien's surviving family have said that they were not consulted about the film, that they don't think it's an accurate representation of his life and work, and that they do not endorse the film. I'm surprised Stephen didn't mention the controversy over the film since he's a "super fan".

    Biographies are often not approved by the family because the family have a particular understanding of their family member but they also have a bond which impacts the ability to clearly observe that person. I'm not saying they are right or wrong in feeling it was inaccurate, but they would (doing the same) also produce something inaccurate but perhaps in different respects.
