...I realised what kind of terrence malick fan would I be if I didn't have a picture of him (He is the american film director behind The Tree of Life and The Thin Red Line, and my no 1 choice for the silmarillion if it ever get made) unfortunately he is a bit of recluse (he hasn't given a proper interview since 1975) so I had to settle for his cameo from his directorial debut Badlands (great film) as my new icon. Nice to see I'm not the only one who appreciates the hobbit for what it is, not for what it may have turned out to be, one of my friends saw the hobbit six times at the cinema but complained about a great many things (he was a massive fan of the LOTR trilogy so wanted exactly the same this time around)-I said to him well why don't you read the book to get a better idea of its original purpose and tone to see where PJ is coming from?-he said he din't see the point is reading a 'silly little kids book when the film was bound to bound to be better becuase it was longer'. I wasn't surprised since he read The Children of Hurin and complained it wasn't modern enough with too little action. He is entitled to his opinions, but yes sometimes I do wonder whether all the overexposure Tolkien has got in recent years is truly good thing...
‘As they came to the gates Cirdan the Shipwright came forth to greet them. Very tall he was, and his beard was long, and we was grey and old, save that his eyes were keen as stars; and he looked at them and bowed, and said ‘All is now ready.’ Perhaps the most fascinating Individual in Middle Earth
