CatchTheWizard

Seeking the magic in both the primary and secondary worlds

The new Catch the Wizard episode is out! In this video, I go over 12 things that bother me (to greater and lesser extents) about Jackson's, Walsh's, and Boyens's adaptation of The Lord of the Rings: https://t.co/Jg9s6MxyOL

I'm in the process of editing videos 2 and 3: video 2 is a return to Jackson, et al.'s #TheLordoftheRings films, and video 3 is actually not #Tolkien related. In the meantime, check out my first video on the Black Riders in Bree: https://t.co/sRIfjtiMAa

On the inaugural episode of Catch the Wizard, I discuss Peter Jackson's adaptation of the attack on the hobbits at Bree, @tolkienprof's exploration of this from #ExploringTheLordoftheRings, and where I think Jackson's version comes from. https://t.co/sRIfjtiMAa

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.

Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

And Tuor came into Nevrast, and looking upon Belegaer the Great Sea he was enamored of it, and the sound of it and the longing for it were ever in his heart and ear, and an unquiet was on him that took him at last into the depths of the realms of Ulmo. #Tolkien #ocean

"When they got to the top of it, leading their ponies, they saw that the great mountains had marched down very near to them." #Tolkien #mountains

Sometimes (most times?) you watch a movie and realize that you won't ever really understand other people's reactions to it, and that's just something we have to get used to...
