Day 11: Sting
“The Quest stands upon on the edge of a knife. Stray but a little, and and it will fail, to the ruin of all. Yet hope remains while the Company is true.”

Time-lapse process for Day 25: Fracture.
Of course I was watching the Fellowship of the Ring when I drew this for reference. I just love that whole Council of Elrond scene that took them like 6 weeks to film 😅 Hugo Weaving gets the BEST dialog there.
Imagine being able to say the line “It must be taken deep into Mordor, and cast back into the fiery chasm from whence it came!” Soooo cool. 😎

Today I learned that the saxophone player for the classic rock group Lighthouse was Howard Shore, who went on to compose the astoundingly good music for "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy.
I had forgotten this song until Tidal recommended it today.

#LOTR fans, rejoice! Tolkien will be joining his best friend in Poets' Corner in Westminster Abbey.

I hadn’t wanted the ring. Gandalf said that ring was trouble, and eleven-year-old me believed him. I had wanted Frodo’s sword, Sting: an elf blade, one light enough for someone like me to use. Frodo’s tormenters had been goblins and orcs; mine were the bullies down the street, waiting at the bus stop to play another round of Punch the Nerd.

It was a wrap on Lord of the Rings: Two Towers in Concert last night as we rounded out our sixth show - three in Calgary and three in Edmonton.
It’s a marathon, not a race, but every audience was amazing and so worth it. It was so fun to see all the creative costumes in the audience!

If the Dark Lord can make time for his hobbies then so can you 😁

Did you see the #Odyssey?
The scene where the Laestrygonians decimate the crew (3,000 yo spoiler) uses forced perspective to make "giants" (like how they made "hobbits" in #LotR)
2.1 m/ 7 foot men in the background, a 1.4 m/ 4 foot 6 inch woman in the foreground, a small aperture, et voila: giants
"Woman? You mean #MattDamon"
No
That's #DevynDalton, a Canadian stuntwoman, on the #movie's poster. Damon called her biceps "the greatest arms I have ever seen":

Matt Damon credit his female stunt double for his giant biceps in THE ODYSSEY
Exploring Tolkien’s Legendarium: The Defeat of Sauron. How exactly did Gil-galad, Elendil and Isildur defeat the Dark Lord on the slopes of Mount Doom. A theory derived from multiple texts, despite Tolkien's ambiguity.

Sometimes we get pleasant surprises: Jackson's #LotR was one. Nolan's #Odyssey does not belong in that category. The trailers were appalling in every dimension. Nolan is hugely overrated & in his latest opus we see the standard markers of lazy contempt for the source work & culture. If you want to see a film about the #Odyssey, see The Return (2024) with Ralph Fiennes & Juliette Binoche.
