'Lots of LOTR fans here????

[SpringleRing DragonLady]

I recognize lots of the nicks as being Tolkien based. Roll call...

Come in and say "hi" and tell us what LOTR boards you post to.

[Vicki]

Not sure about everyone else but I love LOTR :) No boards though.

[Abraxas]

I'm LOTR fan, but I got rid of my LOTR nick. You'll never guess it.

[boobie_tassels]

*raises hand*

Book and movie fan!

[SpringleRing DragonLady]

You'll never guess it.

'Want me to try?

[Pokeh]

right hurr!

[Barbara1969]

Yeah, count me in. I occasionally post on the Ringers forums.

[railwaymadness]

I may not have the nick or the board-cred, but I'm still here being a fan.

[Abraxas]

@SRDL
Don't know...do you want to try?
It's a nickname of one of my favorite characters in the book and definitely least favorite from the movies.

I just wanted to appear a bit mysterious. :\

[SpringleRing DragonLady]

@SRDL
Don't know...do you want to try?
It's a nickname of one of my favorite characters in the book and definitely least favorite from the movies.

Hmmm... least favorite from the movies?

My first guess ... Denethor?

I only say that because so many people were critical of how his character was handled.

How'd I do????

[Abraxas]

Cold. :D

[crsty1961]

I is a fan!!! I post a lot at LJ does that count. :D

[SpringleRing DragonLady]

cold

Yeah... I figured I was cold. It was just the first thing that popped into my head.

Okay... How about lets go in the direction of Sauron! Am I warn at all????

[Lothiriel of Rohan]

(unable to load pagetext)

[Sorrigeo]

I love LOTR! It has to be the best story of friendship ever written!!

[Abraxas]

@Springle
Nope. Very cold. I'm from the light side.

Clue: It's a nickname of a main character.

[JacksGirlfriend]

Brax: I was bored and moving around and saw your name.

I think it's Strider. What do I get if I'm right?

JacksGirl

[SpringleRing DragonLady]

@Springle
Nope. Very cold. I'm from the light side.

Clue: It's a nickname of a main character.

I'm terrible at these kinds of games. 'Anyone else want to join in?

"the light side" as opposed to the dark side? Hmmmm... any Star Wars fans here? I bet there are!

Faramir! No wait ... he doesn't have a nickname.

Bill the Pony! ... no, wait, he doesn't have a nickname either.

Elves, maybe?

[Abraxas]

Your replies offer me a good chance to give you another clue.
Here goes:
Clue #2: You are both wrong, but you're also right in parts.

[JacksGirlfriend]

How close am I?

Does it have something to do with Strider? An elongated version of his name or something? Like KingStrider?

JacksGirl

[Abraxas]

Something Springle said directly above my last reply is one part of the solution.
And you are on the right track at the same time.

It's perfectly imaginable that you don't even know that nickname, hehe.

[JacksGirlfriend]

Ranger?

JacksGirl

[Abraxas]

No sorry.

[JacksGirlfriend]

You can't just say sorry and move on. Another hint please...

JacksGirl

[SpringleRing DragonLady]

Something Springle said directly above my last reply is one part of the solution.
And you are on the right track at the same time.

Elves!!!!!

Hmmm... Elves have nicknames????

'Gettin' warm now, aren't we?

[Abraxas]

Actually...yes.
But It's not an Elf. Although "elven" is the part that was correct in your reply. Now JG has another part that is correct.

I don't need to give clues, because I just said, "you will never guess it" and without clues you won't. :D

[JacksGirlfriend]

Those are the only two I know. I guess I'll have to leave it up to the LOTR people. I'll check back and see if anyone guesses.

JacksGirl

[SpringleRing DragonLady]

But It's not an Elf. Although "elven" is the part that was correct in your reply. Now JG has another part that is correct.

I don't need to give clues, because I just said, "you will never guess it" and without clues you won't.

A clarification -- is this a character from the books or the movie or both?

I'm closing in on this one, I can feel it. :)

[Vicki]

elven ranger! haha idk what that is so i'm guessing its wrong.

[Abraxas]

You should already know which character it is. :|

[railwaymadness]

Sadly, Abraxas, it seems we are merely proving that we are not worthy.

That whole "light side" thing made me think of Gandalf "the white". He's a bit of a shifty fellow who already has more names than could possibly be good for him. Not that I'm saying you're shifty. Unless you are. ;)

[Abraxas]

Hm, JG was partially right I said. That means the nickname belongs to Aragorn (JG was right on that, cause she listed other nicknames of Aragorn).
And Springle got "elven".

Like I said, it's possible that none of you remember that nickname.

[JacksGirlfriend]

Okay Brax: for some reason this just hit me: How about Elvenking?

JacksGirl

[Abraxas]

Nice name. But not the right one. Sorry.
I know this is silly. This nick is probably least known. I think it's just a translation of an Elven word.
I try to come up with a new clue later on.:p

[16L43]

Estel...

[Abraxas]

Sorry, it's not Estel, either.
I feel like I show off here. :\
Actually, Lothiriel of Rohan guessed it in chat yesterday. She should not tell it because I have another hint for you.

Here's a cryptic clue:
the compressed sound of a wood creature

This one is powerful and will give you the full name. :D

EDIT: I had the clue wrong the first time. The part about the "wood creature" is vague, but we are talking about that all the time in this thread. :p

[SpringleRing DragonLady]

Here's a cryptic clue:
the compressed sound of a wood creature

All I can think of is a beaver being squeezed... hehe... I'm NO good at this... Maybe I should slide over to Encyclopedia of Arda and look for obscure names. :p

[Abraxas]

The creature is an elf. You guessed that already. :p
It's not a real creature. I guess. Who knows?
From there it's not far to the solution.

[Mithril379]

Is it Elessar?

[Woodnymph12]

Ooh, just found this thread. That sounds like a good guess! (Or maybe Elfstone?)

I'm wakerobin on theonering.net, though I don't post there very often. I mainly post on Dominic Monaghan boards, and rarely on the Ringers & LOTR fan club forums. I'm a huge LOTR fan, though nothing makes me happier than Dom these days. I found the Lost pilot early last summer via Dom sites, and got addicted right away because it's such an amazing show.

[Mithril379]

Yes we're on the same page Woodnymph. I believe Galadriel named Aragorn Elessar, which translates to Elfstone.

Another Aragorn name is Envinyatar (Renewer). Less of an "elf" aspect except that it's in Elvish.

I wonder where the instigator of our guessing game has gone?

[Abraxas]

Ding ding ding!
Yes! Elfstone it is. :)
The clue translated to "elf's tone". Compressed.
This is finally over.
I bet you are glad.

[SpringleRing DragonLady]

Ding ding ding!
Yes! Elfstone it is.
The clue translated to "elf's tone". Compressed.
This is finally over.
I bet you are glad.

Nah.... it was fun... :b

[Woodnymph12]

Ding ding ding!
Yes! Elfstone it is.

Woohoo! And I didn't even get the clue. (For some reason I also got the 'squeezed beaver' idea stuck in my head and couldn't get past it. Lol). Thanks for the explanation!

[Enchirito]

Darn. Too bad I'm late. I could have guessed it too. ..so yeah I'd say I'm a better-than-average Rings fan.

[Mithril379]

Thanks for explaining!

[railwaymadness]

:rollin "Squeezed beaver"!!! :rollin
Can we call you that, brax? Pleeeeeease?

[Vicki]

We should have some kind of LOTR trivia game...you all seemed to like guessing and figuring out clues and stuff :D

[gracheness]

I thought there'd be more LotR/ Dom fans here then there are. That was the initial reason I was interested in Lost. Dom would have to bring a few fans to Lost at least.

I'm a ringer :) I don't post on any boards regularly, but I read the TORn boards, Livejournal communities for LOTR and all the boys, and I visit Bagendinn.com quite regularly.

[MiladyRomance]

Hi!

I was curious about 'Lost' because of Dom, and I've always liked the 'stranded on an Island' concept. :)

I don't always post regularly on LOTR boards, but I have posted on councilofelrond.com a few times. I'm under the name Lila_Elensar on there. :)

Take Care and God Bless,
~* Kelly :)

[LostBrowncoatedScaper]

Yep another LOTR fan here, but I don't post on any LOTR boards.

[ambrosiadanielle]

Huge Ringer here. I don't post on and LOTR boards anymore, just boards of the actors, mainly Orlando and Lij since the one Dom board I found got quiet for awhile and I just never went back :(

Dom's what got me interested in the show. I never watch that channel so I doubt I would have ever tuned in if it weren't for him!

[Lothiriel of Rohan]

I keep running into a lot of LOTR fans on this site...especially in the chatroom. Met one this morning, Flame, and last night, Dom's chick. LOTR fans take heart...we are here on this board and primarily because of Dom.

Many posters have LOTR nicks...like me. LOL!

I also use to post on LOTR boards but do not now. Have moved on and this is a great place to move on to. See you all on the boards. Welcome and have a great time!

Lothiriel of Rohan

[walkingcarpet23]

I'm a huge LOTR fan, both book and movie, and post over at TheOneRing.net on occaison.

[JacksGirlfriend]

Hi - I noticed a lot of people are fans of Sean Bean. Wanted to let you know that he'll be in Henry VIII tonight (Sunday) on PBS. I think it's a two parter. Might want to check it out at pbs.org

JacksGirl

[Lothiriel of Rohan]

Thanks JGF! Sean Bean is an outstanding actor. :p He is co-starring in the movie, National Treasure, which will be coming out soon. However, his performances as Boromir in LOTR, and Odysseus in Troy have been my favorites so far.

[lordess renegade]

huzzah! So many LOTR fans!
:b
I'm a massive fan myself...although obviously this isn't one of my LOTR-based nicknames...this one I originally made up for the Robin Hobb ezboard.
I think at one point I was a member of TORN and TORC, but I eventually gave up on both of them and became a full-time member of Ringbearer.
:D

[jprez98]

I'm a LotR fan. I LOVE the movies. I liked the first one. I wouldn't sit in the theater for the length of the second one, so I rented it on video. When I saw the third one opening weekend with my cousin, I was TOTALLY hooked. I went out to the internet the next day and bought the collectors editions to the first two.

I've seen the first 2 movies several times and the 3rd one twice in the theater. Now I'm reading the books. I'm trying to get all 3 read by the time I have my LotR party (watching all 3 EE in a row on a Saturday with friends), in January. I should be able to do it since school gets out in early December.

I was never much of a Dom fan in the LotR, though. I must admit. I kinda stumbled upon Lost. My step-dad wanted me to sit down and watch this new show with him. I saw the first show and was hooked. It was kinda funny because when I first saw Dom I screamed, "It's a hobbit!"

I do love them both, though (LotR and Lost). Glad to see so many fans here.

-Jen

[Monaghansgirl]

HUGE LotR fan.

I used to post on tons of LotR boards like CoE.com, but then I got jealous of someone and haven't gone back since, and when my comp. at home died, I was pretty much cut off for months. *shrugs* But anyway....

[Lothiriel of Rohan]

(unable to load pagetext)

[elflover18]

Cheers for LOTR!!!!!

Damnit!!! Why can't it be December yet so the ROTK Special Edition DVD can come out!!! They had a big thing about it at Comic-Con. I got David Whenham's autograph, I talked to Rick Porris a for about 5 minutes and got his autograph, my friend poked Billy Boyd, and Dominic Monaghan brushed against my shoulder. It was so awesome. They also showed us some miscellaneous clips from the extended scenes and Billy Boyd told everyone a story about how Viggo Mortensen kissed him and he got horny. So great...I can't wait for the DVD to come out!

[Monaghansgirl]

I used to be a part of the Fan club magizine, I live in the state where its made, its sad that that'll probably happen.

[wolfdemondx08]

I LOVE LOTR! My favorite one is probably TTT.

[Mithril379]

I enjoyed the movies and am looking forward to the extended ROTK release. But I was a Tolkien fan long before they decided to make the movies, and plan to remain one. Sure the fan mags and websites may drop off, but my enjoyment of my annual fall ritual of re-reading LOTR and the Silmarillion won't change ;)

[wolfdemondx08]

I have almost every one of Tolkien's books. They occupy quite some space on my bookshelf.

[Wynter Zera]

LOTR fan since age 3, 1983. Checking in.

[lolane3]

I have read the trilogy twice, and frequently go back to read through my favorite passages over and over.

I own the extended versions of FOTR and TTT, and theatrical version of ROTK. (The extended version of ROTK comes out just four days before my birthday, and yes, I have hinted that I want it for my birthday.) I have watched them all more times than I should admit, and still cry through a lot of ROTK, particularly the end.

I own the trilogy, unabridged, on cassette, but have not had time to go through every cassette. That is my next goal.

I frequent TORN, but don't post.

Like many of you, Dominic Monaghan was my reason for following the LOST website, and ultimately watching. What a talent. What a cutie. And now I am in love with Charlie and Claire.

[Monaghansgirl]

I have read the Trilogy about 20 times... Though I haven't read anything other than that...

[Lothiriel of Rohan]

(This message was left blank)

[sing4themoment]

LOTR!!! Can't wait for the special edition DVDs! I already have the first 2!!

Interesting fact: I went to Howard Shore's symphony down in Pittsburgh. IT WAS SOO AWESOME! People actually had tears in their eyes!

I was sitting in the middle section but i could see him alright!

[Mithril379]

My brother in law is also a big fan of Tolkien, so we agreed to get each other the extended version for Christmas. I ordered the one with the "toys" for him. I do NOT know how I'll refrain from previewing it when it arrives.....damn the shrink wrap ::mutter grumble:: and if he forgets my copy :eek

[MaryannNorway]

LOTR fan here too..allthough I dont post on any LOTR related sites apart from an actor site on ezboard, Viggo Fan Base (VFB) and Shieldmaiden of the Barefoot King. Yes I am an Aragorn girl all the way!

I have read both the Hobbit and LOTR novels once..will of course read it again, seen the triolgoy loads of times, and well it is cool for me cos I like the genre :) .

[Lothiriel of Rohan]

LOTR fan here too! God! I love your banner!!! Isn't Aragorn dreamy? :lol (sarcasm) And hot! :p

[SabaceanBabe]

I'm definitely a LOTR fan, but I don't post on any of the boards. The only boards I post to are for Farscape, Firefly, and now Lost. :D

By the way, Viggo Mortenson... yummmmmmm.... :b

[Lothiriel of Rohan]

Saba...isn't Viggo Mortensen to die for? :p However, do not look at his latest photos of him on break from filming his next movie, History of Violence. He has white legs and he is skinny. Yuck!

[SecondBreakfast417]

I ::does anyone collect the topps trading cards?::

[MaisterPup]

I got the Return of the King extended DVD set in today's post. (Yes, it's December 14th.)

How'd that happen? I live in Canada!

[kat]

Me too! I love the books (and movies).

Loth & SabaceanBabe: A friend of mine has a son who goes to school with Viggo's son. She says he's even better looking in person than on film. I'm not quite sure I believe that's possible, but... ;)

[ChewbaccasInnerWookie]

I just watched the extended versions (both 1 and two) last night!!!

I watched most of it with the comentary ON LOL... those guys are SOOO funny!!

danke
dw-- LOVED Orlando's "lamness bread" ad comment

[sing4themoment]

I just watched it yesterday too! And the rest of the appendices today...AWW!!!

Its so awesome! I just wish that there're still LOTR films coming out cuz I dont want it to end!

[Mithril379]

OK the extended version gift set is sitting in front of me in its delivery box. I'm afraid to open it because its a gift and I KNOW I'll just keep tearing and watch it. I may have to wrap it in its shipping box!

[Lothiriel of Rohan]

(unable to load pagetext)

[Lothiriel of Rohan]

I just picked up my LOTR EE today but have not watched it yet. Too much going on with Xmas and work. I will have to watch it this weekend.*cry* Yippee!!! :lol :o :p

[SecondBreakfast417]

I collect the cards & if anyone wants to trade let me know:D

[kat]

Have you ever met Viggo? I have been told he is very personable and friendly with his fans.

unfortunately, no. Just my friend has, so I have to take her word for it. :)

Kat, do you also post on the Urbanites sites, the fan site for Karl Urban? Probably not since that Kat lives in Berlin.

Nope, not me. Kat's become a pretty popular name I think. ;)

That pendant sounds absolutely lovely, Lothiriel! ^^ ("Lothiriel"? You like Eomer too, right? ;) )

I´m a LOTR-fan too, so naturally I had to post to this thread. I´m more of a book fan than a movie fan though, but the movies are very good too. (Yeah, I´m being so obvious. :D ) Boromir is my favorite character, and I absolutely adore Sean Bean´s movies. Eomer is really cool character too, and so are Merry and Halbarad.

I haven´t seen the RotK EE yet, I won´t buy it for myself (I just hated it what Denethor was turned in the movie, I´m probably silly but I don´t want to buy it because of that. ^^), but I´ll see it in January - can´t wait for that.

[futureidol]

Long time LOTR fan, and member of thecouncilofelrond.com (user name: "samandfrodoforever"), but it's sort of a dictatorship, so I stopped posting there (they were upset that I believe Sam and Frodo are more than friends). I'm really pissed I can't watch ROTK EE until Xmas (present from my mom), I'm touching the wrapped box right now! I own the Alan Lee illustrated hard cover set of the trilogy, it's among my most cherished possessions. I also have a collection of small members of the fellowship figurines, including Bill the Pony. Also the action figures of Sam and Frodo in their Orc gear. A LOTR jigsaw puzzle, and a huge fantasy collage in my old bedroom. Other fantasy obsessions include The Last Unicorn, The Chronicles of Narnia, and Harry Potter (I'm a Snape freak, but Hermionie is my favorite Hogwart's student). My favorite characters from LOTR are Gandalf, Sam, Frodo, and Faramir (book versions, I love all the characters though). I've seen all the films more times than I can count. I also saw the LOTR exhibit in Boston, which was awesome! When I stood on the thing that calculates what LOTR creature you are it said I could be an elf, a wizard (!), or a man. I was like in your face 8 year old boys (there was a long line of them)! Oh wow I shouldn't be such a nerd, I'm 21! Time to grow up...

I was an elf for Halloween:

Here's some of my LOTR art:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v13/futureidol/ladygsff.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v13/futureidol/frodobaggins.jpg

P.S. I'm not a Dom freak, not that I have anything against people who love Dom... I don't have a crush on any of the actors from LOTR, except Sean Bean! I love him. I started watching LOST because I thought it looked interesting (and fortunately I HAD to tape it because it conflicted with another show I watch, so now I have all th eps on tape), and I used to be (5th grade) a huge Matthew fox fan. I had a huge poster of him in my room *hides face in shame*.

[jekelish]

wow, futureidol...that's fantastic artwork. well done.

i'm sorry i missed the exhibit at the boston museum of science...i kept meaning to go...but no opportunity. c'est la vie.

:hat

[futureidol]

Thanks!

The exhibit was really cool, but no pictures were allowed which was sort of dissapointing. The best thing they had was the dead Boromir dummy in the boat, it looked so real! Also the lifesize Treebeard and Sauron were neat. All the costumes (they has two Arwen dresses, and I think that would piss off anyone who actually read the books!), the armor, weapons, props, "the ring", etc were all great to see in person. The best thing besides Boromir in my opinion was Galadriel's dress, which was breathtaking. But again no pictures... and they didn't even sell postcards or anything! And you are limited to an hour while in the exhibit! And all the children running about were annoying. The whole thing was a good experience overall, and the layout was great. I'm sure I'll always remember the exhibit. I'm very sad the LOTR craze is over, I just have to watch the EE ROTK and it'll be officially done... :( You can never read the books for the first time, or watch the films for the first time, those experiences are golden. I'm sure I'll never forget the period of my life where everything revolved around LOTR!, and I wish I could live it over and over again... obsessive? Who cares, I had a great time while it lasted. Let's hope "The Hobbit" gets made! And they better have Ian McKellen play Gandalf! No one could play the role as well as he did. Sorry I ramble. Thanks for the compliment again.

[walkingcarpet23]

See, this is what we need more of around here -- people who are fans of LOTR without breaking out into the Dom Monaghan worship every two minutes.

The Exhibit sounds really cool, glad you had a good time, and yes... like Jek said your art is very good. You have a really great use of color going, and it's quite realistic. Well done.

[kimjoy85]

Yep, Im a LotR fan. I usually use the name Kimberwyn, which is LotR inspired, but I registered this one a long time ago.

And I did NOT start watching lost because of Dom.

[Marnie of Gondor]

Lothiriel, that is very cool. I hope he gets the Christmas card - and if he replies to you, I´m very happy for you! ^^

(I haven´t heard of his new movie, Doom - I must do an imbd-search to find out more about it. :) )

I was upset when I didnt get ROTK EE for Xmas, but Im gonna get it within the next few days & my manager borrowed FOTR EE & hasnt given it back yet:eek

[eleclya111]

Personnally I just have the one ring and nenya ( jewels) But I have the tree extended editions (the collectable ones with gollum, minas tirith and stuff) 11 posters, the legolas action figure of fotr ( still in package) , tree wierd mugs with faces of aragorn, arwen and frodo ( theres a red light under the mugs so I can drink red milk...lol), the deceifer cards od leggy, aragorn and gimli and lots of magazines and pictures....

[HollyAletha5256]

Come in and say "hi"

HOLA! i love both the books and the movies

[Mithril379]

I got the extended version ROTK for Christmas, and it's great! It was good to see some resolution of the Saruman issue. Even though he dies at Orthanc, the whole scene is pretty similar to what happens in the books - Grima still stabs him.

[eleclya111]

yeah, stabbing was cool :D
lol
