I miss being able to go hiking due to the heat.  It is 90-100 degrees F (including humidity, sun) recently.  The hottest days of the year, and the sun is very intense.

The battle of helm's deep in the LOTR: Two towers is literally 15 minutes long in audiobook.

Finished Fellowship and the Twin Towers, and well into Return of the King.  The films are mostly loyal to the books, with significant additions and some things taken out. What is added is a ton of action and also additional content (such as Boromir, etc.) and small changes.  There is very little action in the books.

 

All in all, the extended cut of the films are frankly better than the books to me.  They say that a picture is a thousand words and this holds true.  I just don't have enough imagination if I rely on the books alone.

what do you think of this?  

 

this trailer reveals far more than the teasers.  There are also a lot of new pictures.

On youtube there are some interviews where GRRM discusses Tolkein and LOTR.  He seems to identify himself as a "contra-Tolkein", an innovator who takes established tropes in fantasy and makes new versions of them.  This is obvious from Game of Thrones.  Basically, he criticizes Tolkein as being a pollyanna.

 

However what I don't like about his work is the nihilism and negativity.  GOT is about misguided people working towards mutually assured destruction.  I think a massive saga should end with the reader/watcher and key characters becoming better than they were before, and triumphant in a unique way.

Nah, fantasy land is about to end.

the lord of the rings audiobook is about 53 hours long.  The extended cut of the films is around 11:30 hours.  However I am feeling like the films cover 80% of the actual story while making a lot of additions.  Odd really, it seems to me that a picture is really worth a thousand worlds. 

 

The films have a lot of interesting changes that work- like they take things certain characters, or the narrator says in the books and make it dialogue for other characters in the films.  This gives it a certain authenticity.
