Oh, huh. I like Star Trek and Star Wars and other Sci-Fi over fantasy stuff.

Well, I just don't read the Hobbit books is all.
*book
SEE! I don't know anything about them.
Well, if this'll help explain anything, The Hobbit is the prequel to The Lord of the Rings and has several of the same characters.

It isn't a prequel, The Hobbit came first and it only ties into the story of LotR in terms of the ring

But it's set before LotR, isn't it? So, it's a prequel.

It is set before LOTR and it tells of how the Ring came to Bilbo and therefore to Frodo.

No, a prequel is something that comes later to explain something earlier, got it? :)

That's a sequel.

No, a sequel is a followon to the story.

A prequel is something created after the original to explain what happened leading up to that, for example Five Nights at Freddy's 2 is a prequel to Five Nights at Freddy's and Revenge of the Sith is a prequel to A New Hope. The Hobbit isn't a prequel because it was written before Fellowship of the Ring

Ah, I see.

Anyway, my brother has been making Lego stopmotion videos for quite a while, and a few days ago he decided to make his own rendition of "They're Taking the Hobbits to Isengard". So, here it is, if you want to watch it:



(Note that we don't own a Gollum minifigure (or Celeborn, for that matter), so he had to improvise.)

If you ever watch anything of Homestuck, watch this, it is a fan-made video of how the trolls defeated the Black King of their session (the bad guys are based on chess pieces)

Weird and funny video:

Yeah, double post, but I just had to share this! It's a LEGO Rivendell that took eleven months to build! It's 50 inches high and stands on a 5 foot by 4 foot baseplate! (Wow, a lot of exclamation points.)

There's a lot of swearing in this but I feel obligated to share it as it's masterful
