Amazon has officially acquired the rights to do a Middle-earth series.  It's NOT going to be a remake after all.  It'll be some kind of prequel story set at some point before Fellowship (not sure if it's before The Hobbit or not), and it'll have multiple seasons.

...I hate this idea. ;D
Dreams, dreams are untapped and writhing. How much more real are dreams than that paltry existence which we now call reality? How shall we ascend to that which humanity is destined? By mastering the dreamworld of course. That is how, my pupils, that is how.

Lol, soccer.
Lol it's called football and it's an infinitely more popular and influential sport than American football and baseball.

I feel compelled to do this because I'm British. I couldn't care less about football, or any sport.

Doesn't make what I said any less true though.
"In the meantime, no one should roam the camp alone. Use the buddy system."
"Understood." Will looked at Nico. "Will you be my buddy?"
"You're a dork," Nico announced.

Wrong! Soccer is a proper contraction from "association football" and is incorrectly regarded as an Americanism. It was originally British in origin. I swear, half the things the British complain about Americans doing with language were British things first! Like our accents.

Besides, I'm an American, why should I care what the rest of the world calls it? ;D

-George Washington

Please be the Silmarillion please be the Silmarillion please be the Silmarillion.

Oh, and please be good please be good please be good
I want the world of Tolkien,
The message of Lewis;
The adventure of Jacques,
And the heart of Milne.
But I want the originality of me.

I don't think it's the Silmarillion. :/  Christopher Tolkien will never allow it while he lives.

...Wait... have you read the Silmarillion, Gonff?!
