Like Landslide said, there are some bits from the Silmarillion, some bits that are extrapolated from half-sentence bits in the book, and a bunch that Jackson made up on his own. And obviously, the last trilogy did well for itself, and nobody dislikes making money. Three movies means at least...

Fact: :rofl:

And following up on that, apparently there are now satellites that can spot penguin shit from space. No, really.

Alan Sepinwall: The Revolution Was Televised - The Cops, Crooks, Slingers and Slayers Who Changed TV Drama Forever Alan Sepinwall started out as a TV critic back in the mid-90s, when most people still couldn't conceive that there was anything on TV you could write enough about to earn the...

Alan Sepinwall, The Revolution Was Televised: The Cops, Crooks, Slingers and Slayers Who Changed TV Drama Forever :stars4:

^^ I saw Christmas in Yellowstone on TV a few weeks ago. Well worth watching in its entirety. You can probably find it someplace online. Meanwhile, apparently the White House has a petition site. And apparently some Star Wars fans have been petitioning Obama to build a Death Star. Here is the...

So Bret Easton Ellis and Paul Schrader have been trying to make a movie with Lindsay Lohan... which turns out to be a not good idea.

FOX News thinks algebra is a communist conspiracy Should we tell them that "algebra" is an Arabic word?

The Fifty Shades of Grey biography that wasn't | UK news | guardian.co.uk Why doesn't he just change the names on his fanfiction and put it out as an original work, then? I hear it's been known to work.

Why Christopher Tolkien doesn't like Peter Jackson You mean, they've - gasp! - adapted the novel? And are including women?!? The horror!

I think it's one of those cases where if you can't afford to hire someone to take care of it, you can't afford to buy it in the first place.

I'm reading Alan Sepinwall's The Revolution Was Televised on the side - basically a history of the massive changes in US TV drama during the 90s and 00s, starting with shows like Oz, The Sopranos and Buffy The Vampire Slayer and continuing through The Wire, Breaking Bad and Mad Men. Lots of fun...

Right, let's see: Top 5 old books: Red Cavalry - Babel, Isaak: War stories from the early days of the Soviet Union, at once brutally realistic and sounding the depths of all the issues of the early 20th century. Moominpappa At Sea/Moominvalley In November - Jansson, Tove: Two sides of the...

I think every bad role in every bad movie that Nic Cage has ever done (and let's face it, there's been a few) has been leading up to this. It'll be his Minimum Opus. Apparently he's playing Rayfnord The Pilot, which means we should be looking forward to him heroically piloting a jet, moping...

New Pynchon novel this autumn Oh yes. Oh yes.

Oh. Holy. Crap. Left Behind (2014) - IMDb Starring... but who else.
