GDT praises Torn in Time Magazine! Can't Post

This month's "Short List" feature, which is always at the end of every Time magazine edition, features Guillermo del Toro's list of "things he likes to bite into during his spare time".

One of them is listed as "Tolkien online", to wit:



Quote

TheOneRing.net is a great community where intelligent, articulate dissenters argue about fascinating minutiae--and not just about fantasy.




Wow.

Thanks, Mr. del Toro!

I love that man. Guillermo... that is.

I mean, I love Doctor Who too but I was talking about Guillermo.

We don't argue, though do we?

Thanks, Mr. del Toro! [In reply to] Can't Post

I love reading your posts. And one other thing, you make it so easy to forget that English is a second language for you. Thanks for taking the time to drop by.

We just have spirited differences of opinions, of course. Angelic

I will never forget GdT's first post here, and it makes me proud to think of him as "one of us". Smile

Creative fantasy, because it is mainly trying to do something else [make something new], may open your hoard and let all the locked things fly away like cage-birds.

Yes. [In reply to] Can't Post

When he has the time, he joins in on our Hobbit board. He can't discuss everything with us but he does like to drop the occasional tidbit about how things are going with the Hobbit pre-production and to discuss filmmaking and mythology in general. We love hearing from him, of course, so it's nice to know he enjoys talking with us too.

Welcome to TORN, by the way. We're glad to have you here. Smile

This isn't an argument. [In reply to] Can't Post

An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition...

OK, I guess by that definition, we do argue :-D

Dang, I'm supposed to teach that stuff on Tuesday. Modus ponens and modus tollens and all that. It's been a long time--I'd better study up.

Do we walk in legends or on the green earth in the daylight?

A man may do both. For not we but those who come after will make the legends of our time. The green earth, say you? That is a mighty matter of legend, though you tread it under the light of day!
