Morning music: A Gollum-voiced cover of Taylor Swift’s ‘I Knew You Were Trouble’

My wife says she is taking the kids to the library so I ask her to pick me up The Lord Of The Rings trilogy. This is what she brings back. Looks like I’ve got some schooling to do.

Happy Valentine’s Day, love Gandalf

A LEGO Elvish Valentine

The best way to spend Valentines day is on a romantic date. The second best way is to watch a violent movie with your buddies. Either way, we hope you all have a great one!

Universal and the Tolkien estate may have a Middle Earth theme park in the pipes

With three hugely popular Lord of the Rings movies and a trilogy of Hobbit movies, Tolkien is one hot property in Hollywood.

If Harry Potter can do it, it shouldn’t be difficult at all to sell a gazillion tickets to a Middle Earth adventure.

Morning rap battle: Gollum vs. Smeagol

Gollum raps against his alter ego/old self Smeagol in this clever rap battle. Not the best fictional rap battle ever, but it’s not bad.

Lego Treebeard’s Holiday Special

A joyous party of orcs is merrily desecrating Fangorn Forest…and Treebeard isn’t too happy about it. Gollum seems to be slinking about again. Anyone spot him?

Make-up test shows what Frodo would have looked like under the influence of the Ring

Apparently, Peter Jackson was going to do a scene in Lord of the Rings in which the power of the Ring started to slowly turn Frodo into a Gollum, but the scene was never shot. This is what Frodo would have looked like had that happened.

And now, here’s Gandalf the Gray playing bagpipes while riding a unicycle

Of course it’s in Portland. Even Gandalf has no defense against the creeping weirdness in Portland.

Newly discovered dinosaur named “Sauron” after the character in Lord of the Rings

Earlier this years, paleontologists came upon a 95 year old skull fragment that they later concluded didn’t belong to any known dinosaur species. This new species, a relative of Allosaurus, was named “Sauron” after the evil demonic character from Lord of the Rings.
