The end of an era. What remains of the "First Age" of Tolkien has now passed into the West....
This will go against the grain of this forum, but I positively loathe the Peter Jackson films (in the same way Tolkien despised Walt Disney). I refuse to even watch whatever Orcish mischief Amazon is working up in the pits of Angband. Christopher was the last vanguard against the ultimate stupidification of Tolkien. We can expect a lot worse than slot machines in the future now that he's really gone.
I'll miss looking forward to new volumes - Chris really hit his stride at the end - Gudrun, Arthur, Beowulf....
I join all Tolkien fans in mourning a great scholar and defender of the literary faith.
