The Lord of the Rings

I tried to go to that link Danielle but it didn't work. What does it go to? A stop motion Lego video?

Yeah :) google 'blunt the knives lego stopmotion' :) it's a uTube video so that might be why it didn't work. :)

oh… I'll just have to google it. I saw a stop motion video of Lego Helm's Deep… It was awesome!! It followed the movie so well. I didn't know it was possible to do stop-motion so good! :)

Oh I didn't see that one yet!! :) have u seen the goblin chase ones? They r awesome! :) I personally like the stopmotion/animation one were they try and re-take Moira! :) that was gr8! :)

:D I saw the blunt the knives song! that was really good! :) I looked up the mines of Moria and I think there are several… I saw one of 'em. I really like the stop motion stuff. :D
Which hobbit is ur favorite? Bilbo, Frodo, Sam, Pippin, or Merry?

That's so hard. :) especially cause I haven't seen all of the LOTR movies. :) but if I had to I would say Frodo. :) just cause he ties the stories together and (no matter what people say about Aragorn) he is the main character. :) lol I haven't even seen most of the LOTR movies and it still KILLS me every time I watch the Hobbit when he walks through the door and just, smiles. Lol I know I'm a real nerd when it comes to LOTR. :) lol

Why in the world haven't you seen LotR?!!!? They are totally worth the 9+ hours it takes to watch them!! :D Although a lot of people i know actually think LotR and Hobbit are boring becuz all the battle scenes are the same or something like that… low attention span, I think. :D

Lol IKR? :) I really want to see them and I've seen parts. :) lol

For those of you disappointed with no buildable Fell Beasts in the Lego LotR games and sets, check this out!

Hey did u watch the stop motion video I posted the link to????

OH MY GOSH! I'm like freaking out!!! The new hobbit trailor is out!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just finshed watching the new Hobbit preveiw like 20 times!!!! Has anyone else seen it yet?!?!?!?!?!?!??!!

Wow! This topic died out! But not in the hearts of men! Lol :) does anyone have LOTR board games? :)

Yes! We've got LOTR Risk, LOTR Trivial Pursuit, LOTR DVD Trivial Pursuit, and LOTR Monopoly. :) We've got two of the One Ring, but you don't disappear when you put it on your finger! :( ;P

Lol :) yeah my little brother took our ring lol IDK wear it is! :) lol

No we don't have any LotR board games… I didn't know there were so many!! We actually got the Lego LotR computer game, but it doesn't work on any of our computers for some reason. :(

You need a very good video card and RAM for a LEGO game to work on your computer. I should know, I've been playing LEGO video games since 2005. The average new computer should play them well. You might have either an old computer, a low-end computer, or both.

Well, it's not really old… and Lego Star Wars works…

Lego Star Wars came out in 2005. When Pentiums were still considered high-end processors. In technology years, that's ancient history! That was when we still had Game Boy Advance games! That was when……………………………………..you get my point.

lol… anyway, we'll just have to wait until we update to a newer computer. :) I'm pretty sure it would work on my older brother's Mac laptop, but he has it with him all the time. :P

You can do no wrong with Apple.

I can't WAIT to play it, though!!! :D

It's pretty fun. As a Tolkien fan, I was happy to see they got right a few things the movie got wrong, like, in the game, Gandalf's sword glowed blue when Orcs were close, and Aragorns's sword flashed with a white flame. But then, I did wish it was a bit longer, and that you could ride animals around all of the open world. You can only ride them so far before they throw you off, so I was disappointed in that area. Also, I was expecting to be able to fly Fell Beasts and Eagles. Perhaps, if and when they make Lego LOTR 2 when all 3 Hobbit movies are out, they'll correct those issues.

can u ride, like, oliphaunts and Nazgul?!

No. And, the beast the Witch-King rides is called a Fell Beast, while the Witch-King was a Nazgul.

oh, ok…
i would've liked to be able to ride oliphaunts… :)

So would I. But, you can play as Legolas in that scene from ROTK and climb up an Oliphaunt!

Awesome!! Legolas has so many of the coolest moves… :D
I wonder what he'll be like in the Hobbit. He is younger, but not by much to an elf…

Yeah. They finished all the scenes with him though, and he and Tauriel have left the production of the movies.

I don't know how I'm gonna like Tauriel… I didn't like Arwen too much in LotR. IDK, it was like, she was just so whispery… :P
Arwen wasn't much of a warrior, though, so i'll just wait and see. I wish i didn't have to wait til Decembers til the movies! :(

She was cute. But, that's a guy's perspective. I think Tauriel's going to be cool……….but then, she is a character made up for the movies. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out.

Yeah… :) I think it'll go good. Some people are upset that she was added, since she wasn't in the book, but there were a bunch of elves there that Tolkein didn't have enough room to mention… so I think it's fine. As long as there is nothing between her and Legolas… :)

Nope. That's what I thought when she was announced, but apparently it's between her and Kili. So……….

AAAAHHHH!!! seriously?! an elf and a dwarf?! their races, like, hate each other! and that would be soooo weird!

That, and the fact she'd have to stoop over to kiss him. Mega awkwardness!

um yeah… :P
do u think they will make Fili and Kili die in the movies?

Probably. To make a the girl fans who only saw the movies 'cuz they thought Fili and Kili were cute cry in the theaters.

I wish they weren't going to, but what's-his-name Dain I think is supposed to become King under the Mountain, so they gotta go…
Kili and Fili were my favorites the first time i saw the movie, but after the second and third and fourth time, i really can't decide… I like them all soooo much! :)

I think Bofur is my fav.

Bofur's the one with the hat, right? I love the hat… :D
well, I gotta go now…

Yeah, the hat was definitely a factor!

TTYL!

BTW, I'm not gonna be able to be on Memverse for the next week, and then another three weeks after that… out of town crazy fun summer stuff… :) every time i come back from out of town the forums are all, like, 10 pages further along! :D

More like 30. Or 50.

true… :)
I'll be back for a couple of days in between, so hopefully i can keep up! :P

Aw man!!! U just heard about Kili and Tauriel? Eh. Gross. :P lol
I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE BATTLE OF THE FIVE ARMIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Sam- Tauriel is gonna be awesome. :)

Battle of five armies is gonna be AWESOME!!! and i'm pretty sure i'll like Tauriel… since Kili is gonna die anyway… :P lol :)

IKR?! I can't wait!!!!!!!!! Do u think Tauriel will die? Since she's not included in LOTR or anything else? :)
Random question: Do u do the biblebee?

I doubt Tauriel will die… I mean, in LotR, those are the elves that are supposed to hold on to Gollum but then he gets away and that's why Legolas comes to the council of Elrond, to tell that news. So Tauriel could still be in some kind of important position over there and we just don't see her…
And, yes I do the Bible Bee! :) I have qualified for Nats all four years, but went three times… I never got to like semi-finals or anything. The highest i got was last year i was 24th going to Nationals.
This year I am still doing the local competition, but I have such a busy summer that I really can't give it all i got. I'm just trying to learn all of the verses… First John is a REALLY hard book! :)
Is this ur first year? Are u gonna try to go to National's? Of course, I have 5 of my siblings that are trying really hard… :)
I'd want to go to Nats just to see what all of these people on Memverse look like! It drives me crazy just knowing names of people that i've never seen, and might not ever see! :P :D

That's true. :)
Yes and yes. :) I really want to meet everyone. :)

yeah… I've made quite a few Biblebee friends. It really is neat going to nationals and meeting kids who have committed a bunch of time to memorizing and learning scripture just like you have!
BTW, I'm leaving tomorrow and I'll be gone all week… gonna miss Memverse! :D
